Waving the White Flag

Post by Deleted User 15783 » Thu Aug 11, 2022 10:40 am

I'll preface this by saying I truly wanted a Republican governor. And I'll have a Dixon sign on my lawn.

But I'm also pragmatic. It's pretty much a given that Gretchen won't be needing bubble wrap for the fine china in the foreseeable future.

And I'll not be commenting any more about our gubernatorial race. I'm just too disgruntled. I can't believe I'm saying this. But I can almost relate to the people crying on Election night 2016 when the inevitable started sinking in that Clinton had lost.

Apparently you don’t feel Dixon can act the part of a competent challenger… what about her led you to “wave the white flag”? I’m genuinely curious…

I'll chime in on this one. The fact that her approval rating remained quite high even during her gross mishandling of Covid.

Dixon faces an uphill battle, but let's at least wait until the campaign kicks into high gear before writing it off. Whitmer is TERRIBLE.


What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

There’s no evidence to the contrary at all. But tilt at windmills. Let me know which ones the best… I want one for my yard.

This woman has zero respect for constitutional rights.

Dixon will do well, and I think better than the pundits say. Can she land punches in a debate. The whole rope a dope technique of letting all the men implode around her in the primary. She doesn't have that. She has to plead her case on abortion and walk back "no exceptions" to have a chance.


They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

I must have missed where there were people outside my house with guns not letting me walk outside.

Dixon has a better chance than AG or SOS of winning. I think it will be a close election in my opinion I do strongly disagree with Dixon on Abortion I'm between 15 to 20 weeks on abortion that is where I draw the line. I have some hope that Matt DePerno doesn't get that AG nom it's a long shot I hope some common sense comes from the GOP convention he is charged with tampering with voting machines and spreading the big lie about the 2020 election taking Trump's talking points about a rigged election. Which I'm over it I'm about the now and future, not the past. DePerno ads will say that the left is out to get him along with the big lie as well and play the victim as well.
