has lots of baggage
went nowhere when he ran for the Presidency in 1988
got last place in 2008 when he ran again for the Presidency, got lucky that Obama tapped him for VP
alright we can stop purging
yeah this is reasonable
Wtf
right before this was talking about wisconsin, so it's good
Oh that note, what do we need to do to win Ohio's gubernatorial race?
I think that's one of the easier ones iirc
Make a lot of fake IDs and then register to vote there and vote
that's a great thing to say on discord
Tell me about it
Yeah, that's why I'm bringing it up.
probably someone from ohio is better for this
<@&415171664574414849> Make sure to vote out the current governor!
RED STORM CRYSTAL BALL RATINGS CHANGES:

Oof
Regarding /rsg/'s gubernational endorsements, I would like to make an objection on behalf of RI
Allan Fung is your typical establishmentarian moderate who cares little for conservative policies
During his time as mayor of Cranston, he used municipal funds to supplement his own coffers using legal means and gave prominent town projects to his financial backers
Issue is in these deep blue areas like RI, MD, VT, and MA, the only Republicans that are able to realistically have a chance at getting elected is the "Liberal but with lower taxes" archetype
RI is a unique situation
Fung has been extremely close in the polling against the democrat, which is far more than anything else we can hope for in RI by what I've seen
That's simply because people hate Raimondo
She's on her way out, that's what I see it as
As for the whole "liberal but with lower taxes" thing, Patricia Morgan, Fung's GOP opponent, isnt that much more conservative, at least in terms of social. It's just that her track record as minority leader is much more consistently conservative than that of Fung when he was mayor
In a perfect world I'd want Joe Trillo to be governor though his running as an independent is an issue
The issue is that in polling against Raimodo, no one can get near double-digits near here except for Fung
Fung has managed to top Raimodo in a couple of polls, in a state like RI, we really don't get stuff like that very often whatsoever
Dont those polls not include Trillo?
Because Trillo may pull a Healey and fuck the GOP candidate over
They do include Trillo in them, yes
I see.
Raimondo's support hovers over 40-44% in the polls, regardless of the GOP candidate she's paired up against
It's simply a long shot as is, just understanding that we can't really be ideological about who we pick in a very liberal state like RI if they have decent chances
What matters for the GOP candidate is appealing to both undecided voters and Trump Populists
That is true however we cant choose a lousy candidate either
