Rodney Dangerfield feels bad for Jeff Johnson

It was rumored that the Jeff Johnson for MN governor campaign (y'know, the one which received the supposed ballyhooed GOP endorsement) was hoping for a nod from President Donald Trump at POTUS's rally in Duluth Wednesday evening.

Not only did that not happen, Johnson didn't even get prime seating (about four rows back over Trump's right shoulder).

To add insult to injury, Trump did pay homage to Minnesota's current lieutenant governor Michelle Fischbach, who happens to be the running mate of Johnson's chief rival for the GOP nomination for governor.

“She has been so great,” Trump said of Fischbach at his rally in Duluth. “She’s got a big race coming along. It’s going to be so great.”

Yeah, awkward.
