No offense to Mr Maccio, but if he's MAGA, he deserves to be dumped on a little...

No, not really. But, I have little doubt they believe the cult will think they're actually getting Ralph, and not some other guy with the same last name.

Trump will hold this rally at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island. This is in the district that elected George Santos to Congress!

Long Island has a history of leaning Republican. I lived there for over 20 years and it was nearly insufferable. I was very happy to get back to NYC.

“Christopher Macchio Performs ‘Nessun Dorma’ at RNC“

Btw:

Luciano Pavarotti estate sued Trump to stop him from using a Pavarotti recording of
Nessun Dorma @ his rallies.

Is probably what most of that crowd will think. They will probably think it’s Spanish and call immigration, too

would be Sid Rosenberg, host on RWNJ WABC morning slot.

Don't get me wrong. Sid would be beside himself if he were the chosen one. But he'd have to first seek surgery to remove his nose from Trump's ass.

But, like Macchio, the crowd would go, "HUHH????".

A "thing" that happened at the gas station yesterday. It was open window weather and I was in the city next to a busy intersection, there was a younger woman pumping gas on the other side of the pump island. Suddenly a shiny pickup truck comes blasting through the intersection with Journey blaring loud enough to make us both look... and then burst out laughing.

I said to her over my shoulder, "Man, that's some chick magnet stuff there!" and we continued to laugh.

I wonder if Christopher Macchio has any sort of self-respect for himself at all?
