23 thoughts on “Braun hits McCormick with negative, digitally altered ad in governor’s race

  1. She needs to respond to his daily lie of “Braun started a company and grew it into a million dollar company” not true! His father purchased Meyer company, way back when. He took 0ver for his father, he didn’t start the company!

    He forgot that Dence took away anything Jennifer could do as an Education Director. They made it an appointed position because they were so upset she won. She may just beat him for Gov.

    I just hate campaign adds that are full of lies on both sides.

    1. Republicans made it an appointed position because they were upset that Glenda Ritz won and because McCormick wasn’t suitably compliant with their desires… they wanted a figurehead who would just rubber stamp what they wanted.

      Only in Indiana would we think a retired florist should have more influence over education than the people trained in it. Maybe that’s why our educational outcomes are so awful…

    2. Joe, you are the Democrat John Jacob. You know everything about every subject. No conspiracy theory is too big for you and every ill on the plant is republican caused.

    3. Well, Chuck. When the Republicans have had a trifecta and a Supermajority for 20 years and things are going the way they are…guess who we’re gonna blame?

    4. Chuck, tell me what in there was conspiracy theory.

      You’re welcome to lay out facts any time you want to refute what I say. We could have a lovely debate. You instead just whine about me.

    1. You sound like Trump. Anything he doesn’t like at that moment in time is “failing!!”
      I know you don’t like him because you’re a Democrat, but Braun is doing just fine in business and politics

    2. Braun lied in his campaign for the Senate when he claimed his business only dealt with products “Made in America.” He is lying in this campaign with his promise to lower grocery prices and the cost of health care, and to improve education by expanding the use of vouchers. Braun achieved nothing as a senator (except to burnish his reputation as a far-right, slash government politician). As it currently stands, Indiana is barely “a state the works.” If he becomes governor, it will be a “state that fails.”

  2. Braun doesn’t seem to have a firm grasp on reality. That’s apparently a prerequisite for his party, but it’s a disturbing trend for Indiana politics.

  3. He’s yet another vile, cheating Republican. Vote them out of office. He accomplished NOTHING for IN as senator. What makes anyone think he’d do any better as governor?

  4. Such a false ad from someone who wishes to lead our state?? Simply pathetic. Can’t we have any honesty from candidates. Starts as national level, now into our state politics. No wonder voters are totally disappointed in the process.

    Mr Braun, you should totally apologize and run an ad contradicting this type of garbage. You will NEVER have my vote!

  5. He is a liar – he didn’t start the company he runs and the digitally altered pictures are ridiculous. Almost like when his daddy T-rump drew on a map with a sharpie. Who could believe and trust him to run this state. Makes me sick.

  6. Laughing at all the Democrats clutching their pearls and saying Braun will never have your vote. He doesn’t care. He never had your vote.

    That said, where is the line? Lying is not new in politics, but when does it become liable slander?. Photoshop your opponent and claim they support beastiality?

    My hot take is; I think the US voter has become even dumber, if that is possible. The last 2 presidents have been the worst in the last 100 years. The US voters nominated them both for round 2. Unreal.

    1. I know Biden’s term isn’t done yet, plus I keep seeing respected economists says the US economy is the best it’s been in 35 years, so the jury is still out on Biden, I know scholars generally agree Trump is in the bottom one or two of being the worst President ever, so I’m solid on that.

      Give me some facts so I know if you’re you talking about Obama maybe?

    2. At the loud insistence of Statehouse Republicans, our legislature adopted a law that forbids digitally-altered political ads.

      They made this rule, and now they’re violating it.

      Pretty Simple, Chuck. “Do as I say, not as I do.”

  7. I used to be a huge believer in gas stoves. Because I had to move, I gave up my high BTU gourmet 36″ gas range and went to an electric Induction cooktop. It is amazing! It only heats the pan and not the cook top. It puts 1/10 the amount of heat into the kitchen. I can boil water twice as fast as my old gas stove! It takes a long time for handles to get hot. Because the cook top doesn’t have to heat up first it stays relatively cool and is so much easier to keep clean. That also makes it even more responsive than a gas burner, so as soon as you turn it off, or down, the heat goes away.

    Given a choice, I will never go back to gas. So if being forced to buy an electric induction range is considered a bad thing, then let those people toil in hot kitchens, with hard to clean stoves, while breathing gas combustion by-products, and working twice as hard to keep the stove clean.

    1. Beckwith seeks to turn Indiana (and America beyond that) into a bastion of “confessionalism.”
