So Dennis plans to pull a Jill Stein in Ohio, to make sure the state stays in Republican hands. Anyone surprised?

Pretty sure the votes aren’t there to make a difference.

I’m not a Kucinich fan, but how the hell can someone “pull a Jill Stein” by running in a Democratic primary?

Not a fan of Kucinich but his running in the primary as a Dem is perfectly ok if he goes on to support the nominee (likely Cordray). He could raise the profile of the race within OH and help get progressive leaners aligned with the party. I don’t see what objection Kucinich could have to Cordray should the latter win the primary.

Kucinich: “Deep State” Trying To Take Down Trump, “Our Country Is Under Attack Within”

In an interview with Sean Hannity, former Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) said the “deep state” within the bureaucracy is trying to destroy Donald Trump’s presidency. “The political process of the United States of America being under attack by intelligence agencies and individuals in those agencies,” said Wednesday night.

Oh for fucks sake, I normally mention either him or Sean Penn when I try to name an example of a Dem somewhat similar to Trump. Obviously we have nobody that is similar to Trump but those are the two ludicrous examples I come up with.

OK, no. He needs to have a seat. What in the world makes him think he can win a Democratic primary shilling for PP?

The pretend Democrat little weasel wants to run for governor to steal votes away from a true Democrat. His time on Fox News as a commentator shows that he is no Democrat. Don’t be fooled by the weasel and vote for him, that would be like voting for Jill Stein a ringer third-party candidate Financed by Russia and Republican Party.

Kucinich cheered Donald Trump’s inauguration speech. Dennis should run as a republican.

Fuck Dennis Kucinich with a rake handle.

He’s running to capture some voters’ loyalty and shift them to the GOPer when he says “I just don’t have faith in the person who beat me because something something I’m a deliberate and spiteful spoiler candidate.”

I’m going to be 70 in the not too distant future myself but really, enough of the geriatric set in office. Aren’t there any young whippersnappers out there who could run? You know, some kid of about 50 or so.

Yep. Richard Cordray, a real Dem, was born in 1959 making him 59.

Somewhat better but, still, it’s time to start recruiting people more likely to survive their term in office.

I see him as a bit divisive. As a vegan he’d be denouncing the vegetarians and pretty soon the Insufferable Hipster wing of the non-actually-voting segment of the Democratic coalition would be fracturing.

No worries with his run. He’ll have the full support of Susan Sarandon, who will be his Lt. Governor.

Kucinich began life as a race-baiting city councilman. He never made amends to the Black community even as mayor. He was a lousy mayor, anyway and surrounded himself with a Trump-like cult of personality. He will need the Black community to win the general. If he makes amends, he should do it in the primary. OTOH–he’s demonstrated an inability to be an executive and he was a zero as a legislator–a good primary candidate could accomplish a lot with contrasting words with action.
