      I’m not strawmanning Cornel, he has nearly half a million dollars in unpaid child support. Also plenty of other folks are taking on that aspect of his candidacy, pretending he’s not deeply in debt is not taking his candidacy seriously and I don’t think anyone who simply ignores the financial trouble he’s in should be regarded as serious.
