So, is this insanity at work? Or...is it a brilliant attempt to copy Trump's style?

The founder of Pirate’s Booty Snacks lost his chaotic bid for mayor of a tiny New York community after claiming that he was the village leader and had the authority to replace the entire local government, officials said Thursday.
Elena Villafane, the incumbent mayor of Sea Cliff, defeated Pirate’s Booty Snacks founder Robert Ehrlich, 1,064 - 62, on Tuesday in the village that's about 26 miles northwest of Midtown Manhattan.
Villafane had been running unopposed for her third two-year term when Ehrlich jumped into the fray a week ago Monday.
That's when Ehrlich came to Village Hall and "presented a statement falsely asserting his authority as mayor, demanding access to office space, and declaring that the entire Village staff was fired effective immediately but could reapply for their jobs," according to a village statement.
Ehrlich rejected election results, calling them “rigged” and counted in secret.
He said poll workers weren’t properly checking rolls — and he'd supposedly know, claiming his own supporters made repeated visits to the voting booth.
"So one of my supporters voted three times," Erlich claimed to NBC News. "Another one voted four times and they didn’t even realize that he was coming in that many times. "
Ehrlich insists he and other village residents have power, under the "New York Government Reorganization and Citizen Empowerment Act," to completely replace the current village government structure with another.
