Congratulations to Lauren Sanchez, who last week gave Donald Trump a run for his (ever diminishing supply of) money. Her excesses in the service of Bezospalooza 60! earned 27.8 percent of your vote. And it’s worth acknowledging the love you showed as well for the Sussexes (10.8 percent for having jetted to Jamaica to attend a screening and pose for a reddish-carpet photo op with an anti-monarchist) and for Ye (new dentition, 9.1 percent). But Trump as usual outdid himself, in New Hampshire and in court, and won with 34.7 percent.
Speaking of Trump: have you started auditioning yet for the role of lapdog to the Republican front-runner? If not, you’re in the minority. We thought it might be time to take a look at some of the bum-kissing, boot-licking Men and Women Who Would Be Pence, see what they’ve been up to lately, and get a sense of whether they have the requisite stores of cynical opportunism, craven sycophancy, calculation, ambition, masochism, and political death wish that are part of the job description. Herewith, a special Trump-Toady installment of the A.W.I.
