I have a dumb but mildly amusing story about an interaction I had with Wisconsin Senator @RonJohnsonWI at Universal Studios that I've never really told anyone before.

*thread* It was 2013. The Koch Brothers rented out Universal Studios in Orlando for conservative activists during a conference. I was there covering it. Ron Johnson LOVED the Hulk ride. Rode it over and over and over again.

See, there is having the time of his life.

Watching a dude hit on a young woman at CPAC. Stopped her in the hall outside Trump's speech and delivered his pickup line: "Hey! Um, I'm a sponsor here at CPAC, so I feel obligated to talk to everybody." Seems to be working so far. We'll see how it goes... He just got her name. Called her beautiful, so things are escalating.
