Hopefully, she’ll lose in the primary to a real Democrat.
Time for a real Democrat to step up and win the primary.
What about Joe Donnelly?
Joe Donnelly indeed. He represented among the last of the Blue Dog Democrats that actually seemed attuned to working-class people’s needs. I’m hardly a fangirl of Mike Braun, but it would have been interesting to see if he shifted along with the political winds or goes the Manchin/Sinema route and tries to keep the Democrats from colonizing Venus.
After all, let’s look at two of the other Blue Dogs from yesteryear:
– Kirsten Gillibrand: started as a rep for a more conservative-leaning part of upstate New York (around Albany), pivoted to become US Senator for New York, and (since she’s now representing liberal NYC) her politics shifted accordingly toward identitarianism. And as much as I dislike her, her lack of conviction can at least be attributable to her changed constituency: by representing a more left-leaning element, she’s at least giving a good part of her constituency what they want.
– Heidi Heitkamp: also seemed very grounded and reasonable while representing a conservative state (ND) as US Senator. Defeated by a Republican in 2019, she no longer has a political career and proves that her “everyday minivan mom” image was, in fact an image. The real Heidi Heikamp uncensored uses epithets on conservative Hollywood actresses (there are about 5 of them), calling them “Nazi” on late night comedy, hosted by Bill Maher, an unusual classical liberal who is increasingly seeming like a greater voice of reason than Heidi Harridan.
Would Donnelly have gone the Heitkamp route if he hadn’t retained a medium profile political career? (He’s now Ambassador to the Vatican) We’ll never know. And methinks that’s all the better for Donnelly.
Is this article serious? This nutjob edu-crat has zero chance to win anything.
McCormick has no chance, just like Crouch, who I’d prefer. Whoever wins the Republican primary will win the general election by 15 points.
Braun still doesn’t understand how anything works and perpetuates the idea that you can run government like a business, which is nonsense. If a football coach ran for office and said he’d run government like he ran his football team, you’d laugh him out of there.
I’m still learning about Doden but my fear is that he wants to take Indiana back to the 1960’s, when all you needed was that high school diploma and that’s good enough. How exactly you can be part of the IEDC, here repeatedly that we don’t have enough college grads, and not make that part of your platform … is worrying.
But it’s also difficult to learn about how any of these folks would govern thanks to the mandatory performative gymnastics one must do in a Republican primary. Not sure why they all feel like they have to channel their inner Don Rainwater, but they are.
