What’s not in question is that the people of Marion County find rampant crime and over 200 murders per annum on a regular basis completely acceptable. If not, how can you explain Tuesday’s results in Marion County?
The Marion County GOP is as inept as the Indiana Democratic Party when it comes to explaining what their platform is besides “vote for us, we aren’t the other guy”.
That’s a HUGE leap in logic. And untrue.
No Democrat I know believe what you’ve stated above.
What’s not in question is that when it comes to crime Republicans care little about political insurrections and cop killers (January 6), or former Presidents who steal state secrets and compromise national security, or former presidents who overcharge taxpayers for hotel rooms to house the Secret Service.
Disagree. If you care about those things, Republicans don’t even want you in their party. You must profess The Big Lie that there’s rampant election fraud or you can’t be a Republican.
One more thing from the article:
“Jim Merritt, a former Republican state senator who ran unsuccessfully for mayor in 2019 … still thinks the right candidate for mayor could turn Marion County “from blue to purple.” This candidate would likely need to already be well-known and preferably be able to fund their own campaign, he said.”
Yes, dedicate a year of your life to trying to win office in Marion County and pay for it yourself. Little wonder Jim Merritt did so badly in 2019 that not only did he lose by a larger margin than the non-politician who ran in 2015, he got the GOP walloped at the City County Council to the point where the entire GOP caucus can carpool to CCC meetings in a four-door sedan together.
I’d love for the Marion County GOP to offer an alternative vision for the city of Indianapolis. They are no closer in 2022 than they were in 2015 or 2019. Greg Ballard’s primary idea appeared to be to privatize city infrastructure. Explain to me how that’s going to reduce crime, help the homeless get off the streets, and fix potholes… because eventually you run out of things to sell off, and all three of those take serious money.
Maybe the Marion County GOP should just be clear about their “vision” for the city of Indianapolis – they’re going to give up winning elections, but they’re just going to continue to tell Indianapolis how to do things via the Statehouse. And, oh yeah, those rural Republicans will continue to use the Indy metro area as their piggybank … right up until the same small-minded folks who’ve chased all their residents to the Indy area ruin the Indianapolis area, too.
