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
Unless your Buddy, RIP 😥
93% - NRA for 2014, he even opposed the red flag bill!
He supports right to work legislation.
Definitely the best we're gonna get in a solid blue state. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/417896427713200138/483840523606556692/unknown.png?width=1195&height=437
Trillo needs to not split the vote for Fung.
He needs to leave the race or it'll go to Raimondo.
Couple nights ago I went to a GOP fundraiser, both Fung and Patricia were there
Fung seemed too..... robotic, I guess you could say. Very professional about everything, which is good, however Patricia seemed much more outgoing and natural
Fung's son was also a bit unmannered which says about parenting
I mean, in a state like RI beggars cant be choosers
Though stuff like this still is valid
Flipping places like Rhode Island and Connecticut would be big morale boosters. We can do well in the governor's race to offset House losses and potential Senate roadbumps.
I know a guy who's real active in CT politics
Apparently there's a real high chance that the governorship and state senate will be flipped red
And given how Malloy is, that's not surprising
Raimondo is attributing all the economic progress to herself even though it's all progress that would've happened without her, specifically EB in Quonset
She's trying to set up tolls all along Route 95 for truckers and her general infrastructure program is shady
Funny because we don't even have tolls in Louisiana--only oil taxes.
We abolished the tolls on our last toll bridge a few years ago (but we're about to get the new one right in my hometown, FML)
Theyre also for pedestrian drivers?
Yeah
