If you watch the video the kid actually comes off really, really well and really, really smart.

Honestly, why the hell not. It's Vermont, it's not California. #Ethan2018 #OnlyHalfIronically

Well, he's too young to understand what a bribe is...so for that alone he's got my endorsement.

Yeah, this critique would work if we replace Hot Wheels with Magic: The Gathering cards, or Xbox games.

Vermont is strange enough that if nobody better than the current lineup jumps into the race, I could see him winning the Democratic primary for the novelty of it.

General election, not so much. But the debates would be fun as hell to watch.

Idiocy. Or PR act in best case. Next time a new-born, who can't yet speak, will run for governor.

Has he filed campaign paperwork? I would pay for him to be the Dem nominee.
