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

Yeah @Ghawk should we do anything to help DeWine/Renacci?

@Nuke Show the quote that Richard Codray made.

<@&415171664574414849> Make sure to vote out the current governor!

Oof

But you’re biased

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

Granted no matter what, the most a GOP governor will do is stop liberal legislation

However we cannot choose one with a corrupt background either
