David Duke, former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard and current white supremacist, has pulled enough support in his run for Louisianas U.S. Senate seat that hell participate in Novembers televised debate. Hes excited:
David Duke @DrDavidDuke
Important News! I qualified for the U.S. Senate most important debate in Louisiana on Nov 2. I can't wait to tell truth nobody else dares!
Duke scratched together the minimum five percent support (5.1 percent, to be exact) required for a spot in the November 2 debate at the historically black Dillard University in New Orleans. Hell appear in alongside Republican State Treasurer John Kennedy (24.2 percent), Democrat Foster Campbell (18.9 percent) and three others.
According to Politico, Duke has done very little campaigning, nor has he raised much money. Those two facts dont seem to have discouraged his delusion that hell win, though. Ive got a great chance, he told ABC, adding that I always fly under the radar. If you look at the history of polling me in primary and previous races, Ive always gotten at least two to three times more votes than the polls actually showed.

he thinks that "everybody" thinks like they do. It's the same with the Trumplodytes, they think they are winning.
