Trump is the most lawless POTUS ever and Braun should be ashamed to be joined at the hip with Trump. Braun didn’t do anything in the Senate and didn’t vote for either the infrastructure or CHIPs Act (co-sponsored by Todd Young). Also Braun didn’t support the Bi-partisan Border bill which would have significantly improved the border situation.
That’s because he stands for nothing
He’s just an empty bag of a human
He’s just an obstructionist. Like Trump, I win or everyone loses.
Mike, leave the IEDC alone. $20B+ in new capital investment the past 2 weeks, with more to come. Don’t try to fix what’s not broken.
Thirty-nine percent of the vote in an Indiana Republican primary ought to be viewed as an embarrassment for Braun. He didn’t accomplish anything substantive during his six years in the US Senate, so I doubt he’ll do much of anything as governor (except continuing to fight the MAGA culture wars to keep the state’s right-wing base salivating).
It doesn’t matter when you’ve got “competitors” who ran inept campaigns splitting the field, just like in 2018. You can win two elections with a plurality of support and buy yourself another elected office.
Give Braun credit – he’s able to convince voters that he, guy with a Harvard degree, is a man of the people because he wears a blue shirt.
Ask the other Republicans who crowded the field why on earth they’d repeat the same mistakes as 2018.
What exactly Braun wants to accomplish as governor, of course, still isn’t especially clear. I personally suspect it will be some of the ineptitude of the Pence administration with none of the Christian nationalism, along with a further push to dumb down Indiana students to make sure they’re ready for the jobs of the 1980’s that will be automated away in just a few years.
We don’t want braun or the others running.
Braun will be elected and then people will act shocked when we become the Florida of the Midwest.
Exactly
The statement : most expensive race: is so sad. When can we set election finance regulations. The spending is just out of control. So much money wasted when we talk of the need for spending for childcare, education, child services such as through DCS,, and even money to feel our citizens. We really need to look at all of this. Society is losing sight of the important matters relating to our fellow man.
Indiana’s campaign finance law is the Wild Wild West. Almost no limitations. Braun recently got a million dollar contribution from Richard Uihlein, an Illinois billionaire who’s funded election denial causes like Liberty Institute.
Exactly what does a million-dollar contributor WANT form an Indiana governor?
Braun says “…we’re going to take this State to a place we’ve never seen before.” But failed to provide even one idea or specific plan and republican voters overwhelmingly supported him. Sad and scary.
The only thing Braun stands for is the MAGA culture wars.
It would really have been interesting to see how ranked voting would have turned out with the Indiana elections.
I agree ranked choice voting generally leads to more pragmatic outcomes, and should be adopted more broadly, but not sure it would have mattered here….
Hill and JR ran to the same or right of Braun; they agitated against corporate business deals and the Holcomb admin; would imagine vast majority of those votes go to him next or after each other. For exercise, let’s say 8% of the 9%; that put Braun at 47%.
That would mean Doden and Chambers voters would have to rank Braun over Crouch over 90% of their vote (27%/(13%+17%)) to create a Crouch win. Even though Crouch should get a net majority, that share needed seems quite unlikey.
Now imagine if the election was an open primary and included McCormick and Rainwater.
And the election in November was just the two candidates who got the most votes regardless of party.
This is too bad. Chambers would have done an excellent job representing Indiana citizens.
It’s sad that Indiana doesn’t either require a runoff when no candidate receives a majority or implement ranked choice.
Braun is disgusting. All this millionaire had to do was wear his “I’m just a workin’ man” blue shirt, with sleeves rolled up, of course…and the Hoosiers lapped it up.
The best part of this is reading all the comments. Even the bleeding hearts know that turncoat McCormick has no chance. Back the police and let’s cleanup this town.
Hogsett has currently approved the largest budget by 11% EVER for IMPD.
What more do we have to do to back police?
Also, the governor has zero jurisdiction in Indianapolis…. he just lives here…historically the state legislature makes Indianapolis worse not better
The police are sufficiently backed in Indiana. Quite sufficiently.
The police have literally gotten everything they’ve asked for in Marion County. They get paid the most, they get the most resources, and they operate with very little question from above.
Wait – didn’t Braun only “ Back the Blue” after Tucker told him to? His original bill was actually pretty sensible. For him.
