As someone who isn’t opposed to voting for moderate Republicans as I did with Holcomb twice, Beckwith solidified my decision to vote for McCormick. Braun is already more controversial than previous Hoosier governors, and Beckwith claiming that God told him that he had a hand in January 6th just confirms that he is a loon.
Right? Who gets kicked off a library board? This is embarrassing…
Spot on
Braun sure flip-flopped quickly on his choice for LG. The delegates who cast their votes for Beckwith are way out in left field——–way out. In the article it’s stated, “Braun remains focused on enacting a bold conservative agenda as governor and is excited to have Micah Beckwith as his partner to get the job done.” REALLY???????? He and his selected running-mate, Julie McGuire, “were focused on enacting a bold conservative agenda as governor / LG and is excited to have Julie on his team. Apparently Braun short-circuited his Braun/McGuire “excitement” switch and now believes he’s got an A+ player on his team. No, Braun was let down big-time by those delegates. Oh, by the way I believe Julie McGuire is also a devout Christian and the reporting leads one to believe Beckwith’s the only one. Leave the religion at your homes. Vote on who can run the business of this State (it should be the Braun/McGuire team).
The delegates who cast their votes for Beckwith are way out in RIGHT field——–way out.
Good ol’ Jim Bop.
It’s pretty wild of him to assume that the default margin for the gubernatorial race would be ~20+%. The margins for gubernatorial races in Indiana have only been that high 3 times in recent history:
1) Frank O’Bannon’s second term
2) Mitch Daniels’ second term
3) Holcomb’s second term
Holcomb’s second campaign (2020) was basically an anomaly compared to the other two. More people knew who Rainwater (L) was than knew of Woody Meyers (D) and Holcomb was reasonable enough through COVID that he appealed to more educated, centrist swing voters. You can see this clearly in data. But for the most part, gubernatorial elections in Indiana are close. Especially when there isn’t an incumbent running.
Then, this year, there are:
>Signs from the 2023 municipal elections & 2024 primary that Republican populism is wearing off in parts of the state where it really matters, like Vigo County, Vanderburgh county, and NWI counties.
>The “more educated, centrist swing voters” who are unlikely to vote for Braun/Beckwith.
>A conservative Pence loyalist bloc, who likely won’t vote for Trump, his sympathizers, nor anybody who said that Jan. 6 was an act of God as Beckwith has.
>A libertarian candidate who has shown the ability to get a meaningful number of votes.
ASSUMING that McCormick actually gets financial support from the Democratic political apparatus, this election will be a race to 33% between Braun, Rainwater, and McCormick.
Braun will win and get at least 50%. The Indiana Democratic Party doesn’t have the resources nor the capability to take advantage of the situation.
First time in my life I will vote for Dem for governor.
I’m on same page as Leslie…first time I’ve ever voted for a democrat and it looks more and more – with every passing day – like I may be pulling a straight D ticket. The R party is horribly broken.
Braun still wins. End of story.
Pretty scary, isn’t it?
If Bopp is worried that Beckwith is too far right, either Beckwith must be completely crazy or Bopp is just worried that his own crazies won’t be able to control him. For Indiana the real risk is its own legislature, which is always a vote away from destroying the State’s economy by trying to recreate the 19th Century and making the State a place where the jobs that would move the State forward can’t be filled because the best and brightest don’t want to live here.
I agree…if Bopp is calling someone an extremist, we all need to take notice. Outside money certainly will.
Yuck. This Beckwith guy is a creep. Braun will still win, but Beckwith needs to go away. These mega church people are scary.
Donnelly ran a terrible senatorial reelection campaign that tried to sway MAGA voters (who were never going to vote for him) instead of appealing to moderate Republicans. Not sure why his name would even be mentioned as a possibility?
Actually, the progressives ran against him. He was pretty solid. Reminded me of when the conservatives ran against Lugar.
Bop is so over-the-top. But I hope he’s right this time!
Lt. Gov has no power and no real standing in the party… lol, look at the current Lt. Gov who the majority of people in the state couldn’t even name. If Braun loses it is on him and him only.
Amen Michael!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. No pun intended.
Those people that don’t know who the current LG is should not be allowed to vote. What else do they not know about the business and functions of State government? You’ve inferred they don’t know anything about Indiana government (and how about those taxes). I would certainly agree with that. So, if these folks vote, they’re likely doing so as Democrats in hopes they’ll get government handouts, and subsequently they create a drain on the State’s economy. Thanks a lot but stay out of my wallet.
Much ado about nothing! Bopp wanted free publicity, and got it. Pundits got their two cents in, and now Kendall will preach slightly different anti-GOP rhetoric.
+1
It always amazes me when, smaller responsible government, lower taxes and removing regulations that hinder growth to small business is radical, right wing extremist.
Beckwith is for getting government back to the people and away from the RINO Establishment, of course this must be bad. Because people are not capable of making decisions with out government intervention.
I think all of this does narrow the gap somewhat between Braun and McCormick but not enough to get her elected. Now, I have also heard the Joe Donnelly rumor of replacing McCormick but that would be very difficult to pull off. But with Braun and Beckwith ticket, it might just be reminiscent of 2012. Can we say Richard Murdock losing to Donnelly after leading big until the last fateful debate. Gotta love it.
