Ex-'Apprentice' Plans Congrassional Run



(03-09) 08:57 PST Allentown, Pa. (AP) --

Raj Bhakta, the aspiring apprentice turned aspiring politician, is running for Congress.

Bhakta, who was fired by Donald Trump during the second season of the NBC reality show "The Apprentice," is challenging Democratic U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz for the state's 13th District seat representing suburban Philadelphia.

Bhakta received the county GOP's endorsement days before making his announcement Monday.

"We offer voters legitimate change," Bhakta said. "I am not a politician. I am someone from a business background who wants to make a change."

5. And that's exactly what he did.
His playbook is almost perfectly in sync with the modern CEO.

2. No surprise there--a republican
Maybe the Democratic slogan should be: TRUMP FIRED HIM WHY SHOULD WE HIRE HIM?

3. bow-tie bozo and major lech -- everyone thought he was a loser
Bhakta was a contestant the one season I watched Apprentice. He was a total loser. As pretentious and phony as they come. Everyone I spoke to who was watching it felt the same way.
