Odd that Republicans didn’t like him; he’s a bog-standard Republican.

Langworthy has said he ran against Paladino in part because he was worried about Paladino dragging down other Republican candidates in New York, namely gubernatorial nominee Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY).

We’ve got the best shot to win in 20 years, and the three-ring circus that he brings to the table, with the way that he handles things and himself, will basically be held against every candidate in the state,” Langworthy told The New York Times earlier this month.

It’s the saying of the quiet stuff out really loud, that’s the issue. At least when the voters are actually paying attention.

Yes, some Republicans want to go back to the way it was when they knew it was publicly unacceptable to be a racist, so they kept it quiet and just used policies to marginalize anyone who wasn’t like them. Sorry, the cat is out of the bag now, and you can’t go back to the “good old days” any longer.

I no longer believe there are any moderate Republicans, as they were silent for the past 50 years as their party devolved to what it openly is today, which can be characterized as a Trump death cult. Their votes could have made a difference in so many instances, but they were all so concerned about keeping their jobs and their perks, that they didn’t do their jobs (i.e., to serve the people).

For the rest of us, don’t forget what was done, never forgive what was done, and let’s stay energized so we can clean the mess for a better future for all of us.

Bush’s dumb son George ripped off the “kinder, gentler America” mask by invading Iraq in 2003.

Now TFG has ripped off the “racism is now over, because we have a black president” mask.

The real Republican Party is now laid bare for all voters to see. They want to drag America back to before black people became free, and women could vote.

Some of them are now saying these things out loud.

YES! … with extra vigor! she is a total fraud /poser who will adopt the political persona du jour in her pursuit of the path up the political ladder.
She fancies herself as being “vice presidential” timber ( really only sees that as a stepping stone to becoming POTUS)
THERE IS ZERO AUTHENTICITY IN HER.

Not a clinician (obvs), but I think Paladino is literally insane.

Immediate DQ.

You’re here, sir, to serve the people. If you don’t want to answer on issues that the people need or want to know, then you aren’t here to serve the people, but your own interests.

Re-read your job description for the position you are running for, re-consider whether you can fulfill ALL the requirements of the job. Sounds like no. DQ.
