This is so absurd that it should be a movie.

Just to fill in some background, Sandford took time off as governor, flew off to see his mistress, lied about it, and is now asking his ex wife to run his campaign.

According to Jenny, she had already told Mark she would be taking a pass on the race the day before, at the funeral of a mutual friend. So when Mark came to visit her, he arrived with a proposal. “Since you’re not running, I want to know if you’ll run my campaign,” he said. “We could put the team back together.”
Jenny told him, in so many words, that wasn’t going to happen. Mark made one last appeal.
“I could pay you this time,” he said.
