So maybe it wasn't the flu

Townhall: "Confirmed: James Talarico Was at a Mental Health Facility in Ohio."

This is a litmus test for the mainstream media: Talarico cannot be allowed to continue his campaign until this question is answered.

Who am I kidding?  This will be another incident of Republicans "pouncing" followed by a story about the heartbreak of mental illness to elicit sympathy.

Update - Looking at this report with a more critical eye, it's an anonymous source at this facility and revealing a patient probably violates HIPPA regulations.  The private plane log is circumstantial.  So maybe it's nothing but Talarico can clear this up if he's asked the question.  Will he?  Will the media ask?  Or is this the Biden "basement strategy" all over again?

If Frico cant handle a campaign then how can he weather the actual job? My guess is that he is not getting enough constant validation from his supporters to drown out the reality of his past.

If you're laid low for 12 days by the flu, maybe you don't have the constitution to be a Senator.
