Pillow Guy says Susan Crawford did not win Wisconsin SC election.

https://www.rawstory.com/mike-lindell-susan-crawford/

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell vowed to launch an investigation into the Wisconsin Supreme Court election a day after Judge Susan Crawford, a candidate backed by Democrats, won the race.

During a Wednesday appearance on Steve Bannon's War Room program, Lindell suggested that the race's outcome was fraudulent.

"Susan Crawford did not win in Wisconsin, and the media can grab that all they want!" he asserted. "There's a little bit of a deviation here. They vote in voter ID, but yet the candidate that doesn't want voter ID wins. Hello! It doesn't happen. My team's digging into it."


Okay Mikey. You do that.

...I forget who it was, but anyway, there is apparently enough public information on hand in MN to get a rough idea of how Lindell's company is doing--and it's not doing very well. (AFAIK, MyPillow is privately held, which means that a lot of their financials are hidden from the public).

The upshot is that Lindell's "company" is pretty much owned by the bank, his D/E is off-the-charts bad, and it's amazing that they are still in operation. They have been evicted from several of their facilities, equipment has been sold or repoed, etc. Someone else is funding Lindell, because he has little to no financial liquidity at this point.

Rather than the advertiser charging each time the spot airs, they are paid based on the number of inquiries — calls to 800 numbers, or emails — received. They are much less expensive than regular radio or TV ads. In his case, though, even PI spots might not be worth it. I’m not sure he could fill the orders he might receive as a result.

Metaphorically pantsless. No one wants to see the actual sight.

is, even to republiQans.

Bannon has scraped THROUGH the bottom of the barrel for guests, and ended up in the dirt under the barrel, where Mike Lindell lives.

When will this idiot shut up and go away? Does anybody even take him seriously? I feel sorry for his employees but not for him. He needs some kind of intense therapy. The drugs have really eaten away at his brain.

At least he has an excuse, unlike President Musk and his stupid sock puppet. They're just plain evil.
