font-size: 12pt;\">In other words, <em>Kane<\/em> is one step closer to becoming an actual mayor of an actual county in an actual metropolitan area in the United States.\u00a0 Not a bad achievement for a guy who makes his living fake beating people up in a fake sport.\u00a0 The only thing that stands in the way of total victory now is the Democratic candidate in the general election in November.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Honestly, I didn\u2019t think Kane was going to make it this far, because despite how ironically funny and cool it would be to see a professional wrestler ascend the ranks of government and take public office, cooler heads tend to prevail in the end, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/people\/wwe-rhyno-michigan-legislature-donald-trump-us-elections-2016-a7406306.html\">career politicians usually end up winning<\/a> most of the time.\u00a0 But now that Kane has emerged victorious in the first critical step, I want to see nothing more than for Kane to go all the way and become MAYOR KANE, and send Knox County, Tennessee straight\u2026 to\u2026 HELLLLLLL.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora;

font-size: 12pt;\">Here\u2019s the thing though \u2013 such a montage of Kane\u2019s career worsts is ironically supposed to insinuate how unqualified a professional wrestler would be serving in government, but we live in a modern society where trust in government is so fractured, frail and basically non-existent that at this point, it\u2019s hard to imagine that any career politician really would be better in public service than a professional wrestler would.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">It\u2019s sentiment like this that opens the door for the likes of Kane to actually win a primary and become a step closer to actually succeeding, and I\u2019m sure there are people who look at his paltry 17 vote victory as a narrow victory, but it can also be interpreted that there are people who simply want a legitimate change that only taking a leap of faith like voting for Kane might actually accomplish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">All joking aside about Kane\u2019s misadventures through professional wrestling, Glenn Jacobs is a man that is extremely well-liked in his profession, which is known to be quite prickly and filled with a lack of ethics.\u00a0 He commands the respect of his peers and superiors, and if he weren\u2019t interested in local politics, or diversifying his own personal endeavors (him and his wife operate an insurance company in Tennessee), he\u2019d have a career for life in the WWE, long past his wrestling days.\u00a0 And despite his murderous, pyromaniac in-ring persona, Kane has a reputation of being great with fans, as well as being <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wymt.com\/content\/news\/WWE-star-Kane-visits-fan-with-terminal-cancer-in-Harlan-County-472863913.html\">charitable<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IJQpKBBR3xc'.\">well-intentioned<\/a> in his elevated celebrity position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">He might do some silly shit in his wrestling career, but the people of Knox County, Tennessee need to ask themselves if another spineless stooge of a career politician would <em>actually<\/em> be a better choice to run the town than Kane would?\u00a0 Without question, Kane would hang up his boots and dive head-first into his mayoral career if elected, and I\u2019m hard pressed to believe that he wouldn\u2019t be terrible at it, and probably grow and develop into a respectable one with enough time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">And the comedic potential of MAYOR KANE would be immeasurable.\u00a0 Traffic a problem?\u00a0 Random INCINERATION at a major intersection on a sporadic basis to make the people think twice about if they want to spend too much time on the road.\u00a0 Crime getting a little out of hand?\u00a0 Shit, MAYOR KANE would be the closest thing to a <a href=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/cQiMCauxEhc\/maxresdefault.jpg\">real-life Mayor Mike Haggar<\/a> the world will ever see, and he himself could personally go out and fight crime with chokeslams and Tombstone piledrivers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora;
