If it came down to a choice between Trone and Mrs. Tweety Matthews, I would hold my nose and vote for Trone. No way would I vote for the spouse of one of the Four Horsemen who led the drive to impeach Clinton. Nor will I forget how Tweety lied any lie about Al Gore in 2000 to put his pal Dumbya in the White House. And then the same Tweety who just slobbered all over Dumbya’s little Mission Accomplished shtick is the same liar who said he never supported going to war in Iraq.
Just forget about voters… declare ‘S/He who has the most gold wins’. It would save a lot of $$$$$ on polling places, voting machines and the appearance of democracy.
What if this guy is actually a good candidate though?
Compared to Mrs. Tweety, he’s Mr. Clean!
Well perhaps, but I guess the point I was making was, look at Tom Steyer in California – he’s worth billions, yet he’s a progressive favorite.
I don’t know this booze guru Trone’s negatives, but the hit piece that new TPM employee John Judis put on him last week didn’t tell me anything…other than “he sent me a lot of ads. him bad.”
What would really be impressive is if he was able to give a stump speech while in free-fall and have his mark ready to support him before they hit the ground. (not literally)
