Jeffrey Payne for Governor?

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

As I wanted to inform myself about the Texas gubernatorial race I was browsing through Wikipedia.
I discovered that one Democrat has already declared his candidacy. However, he doesn't have his own lemma, only the information "businessman" is added; thus I started browsing through the Internet in order to find out more about him. So I stumbled upon the following article:

What do you you think are Payne's chances of winning the Democratic nomination? (I'm not even talking about his chances against Abbott.) In the poll options I added the candidates that are listed as "potential", providing each of them is going to run. What would be a decent result for him in the general election?

Here's his interview with CBS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79R9KjzTI-E

Prediction?  Payne

I'd rather like to see him run against Ted Cruz than against Greg Abbott.
Is Abbott even seen as anti-gay?

Sorry, I don't know who Payne is.  I was just making a poor joke. The YouTube clip is Mr T as Clubber Lang ready for his rematch with Rocky Balboa in Rocky III.  A reporter asks him "Do you have any prediction for the fight?"  Lang replies "Prediction? Pain."

I just like how serious Lang was when he said that.

I do understand the clip, but I thought you were dead serious, cause all the canvassing will probably cause much pain for Payne. (I can already see all the puns already.)

Jeffrey Payne completely failed. He only came 5th (out of 9 candidates).
How did he manage to win Armstrong County?
