Weird. I thought I saw elan or Chris h or someone retweet that he was running. Crazy that ABC would care. Too bad for Ben but at least I won't have to feel anxious about him running anymore. And it's all about me after all.

So ABC reconsidered it and didn't want to air the politics after all. Because I'm pretty sure it was in the talks already when they announced the reality show.

How could all that have not been checked and cleared ahead of time?

I don't know how ABC didn't know about it. He talked about it in a lot of interviews regarding his new show.

More to it . It's just weird the timing

Makes sense. Though you'd think it would've been shot down much earlier.

Maybe this week in politics changed their mind? He was running Republican. All pure speculation of course. I have no doubt Disney's lawyers could scare almost anyone from pursuing almost anything.

Yeah... IDK how ABC let this go this far before they decided to start to throw a stink. He was obviously in talks with them about the Freeform show. They knew what was up.

Whatever. I know I supported this decision, but the timing always made me nervous. He should marry Lauren, get settled, let his contract with ABC completely run out, then find a seat and position he really has a chance to win, down the line, if this is a path he wants.

And selfishly, this way I don't have to read his political tweets and propaganda. I don't vote how he was running. I was a little worried how I could reconcile all that in my little fan girl heart. It's all about me.

He wouldn't have won anyway. Denver was probably 80%+ Bernie Sanders supporters.

You might right . Considering benlo are still in contract with them . Basically they are their people as of now .

More publicly when he drops out and probably figured dropping out would look bad on Ben not them JMO.
