Just checked out the website of the candidate with the social studies cred. I don’t know if Olivo’s site is a political one or a Mizzou Alumni fan site 
(I especially like it when he points to the buttons above him on the video)
At least he doesn’t mention clones.
Sure, I read the news release stating that he has known Olivo for 15 years and he is a person he can trust. However what is bugging me is that the other Republican primary candidates have more legislative experience than Olivo, but the senator chooses a candidate that is a “recovering apathetic” who has never voted. This is not an election for Homecoming King. The MIZ-ZOU chants can go only so far. Maybe the powers to be feel they can control Olivo and set the agenda for him.
After the embarrassment of Olivo fumbling on answers to tough questions like “Why are you running”. I can’t believe that some Republicans are standing by him and they are trying to convince others that this is the person to represent the 9th Congressional district. Mr. Olivo needs to “carry the water” for his local constituents first and maybe vote one in a while. Maybe then he might have the experience to serve other than being a frequent attendee of a social studies class
