Holcomb, so bad, that people nominated an incompetent grifter to stick a finger in his eye. Too bad the Libertarian is a punk himself.
So 1,800 party activists met in a big room and decided who they want to nominate for Secretary of State. Is their judgment superior to the judgment of more than 1,720,000 GOP voters in Indiana who had no say in the selection? Party nominees for statewide office should be chosen by all the registered voters of that party.
Not good.
Of course. Select the guy who was gotten rid of twice in two State offices for lack of professionalism, lack of proficiency, not doing his job, etc. Makes perfect sense.
Quote: Because the secretary of state is the chief elections officer in most states, including Indiana, campaigns for the office often get caught up in Donald Trump’s unfounded claims that the 2020 presidential election was “stolen” from him.
‘Never miss a chance to get the word “unfounded” in such “reporting,” eh, Susan? You just couldn’t make that statement without the word “unfounded,” could you?
‘Seems like Morales had a good majority at 847 to 561+215; decisive. That’s good news. Holcomb needs to have his hands slapped after genuflecting to the uber-liberals over the nonsensical “transgender” women’s sports bill.
Poor Bob, triggered by The Big Lie. Find that evidence of targeted voter fraud yet for me?
Morales isn’t just unqualified to run the office by his beliefs, he also has -twice – demonstrated he’s unsuitable to collect a paycheck from Indiana taxpayers. But because he tells people what they want to hear, instead of reality, they fall all over themselves to support him. The Republican Party is a bigger scam than bitcoin.
You wouldn’t think that Republicans could find someone worse than Todd Rokita, someone more craven, but then they go and totally prove me wrong.
Brent B. – Why not get rid of primaries altogether? It’s not like the voters have a real say. Bernie Sanders would have won the nomination in a fair Democratic primary. So, what’s the point of primaries? In the majority of cases, what the primary allows is twice as much fundraising (the parties and candidates get donations once for the primary and then again for the general election). The Libertarians nominate candidates without a primary. So can the other two parties.
What Patrick said. I’d be inclined to do it how Louisiana does it. First round for all candidates. If one of those candidates gets a majority, cancel the general election for that office. Otherwise, top two vote getters complete against each other.
Indiana’s over ripe super majority party is rotting at its core . Nominating a person that was twice fired from the office of the department he is seeking to be elected to lead is another clue to expose the TRUMPIAN cult that has captured the former Republican Party.
Welcome to Crazy Town – no one wins with this sort of a candidate and office holder. I’m embarrassed for all the folks who built a great GOP in Indiana and of course are now mislabeled as RINOs.
Just for the accuracy of the record, Hillary Clinton called Trumps 2016 win illigitimate. That was after she created the fake dossier.
I missed the coup she led on January 6, 2017 that disrupted the peaceful transfer of power. Post links.
Joe, I missed all the stories of criminals from the 2020 Democrat riots being prosecuted . Post links
Random deflections are fun!
Not the same thing and you know that. Unless you’re saying that only Democrats stand up for the right for the police not to choke you out when they feel like it and Republicans are OK with the police having the right to use whatever force they want.
Maybe go look up the case of Johnny Hurley and get back to me. Just about as bad for the cops as the school shooting in Texas and blows a large hole in the entire idea of more guns being useful to our safety.
Back on topic, Chuck, why do folks like you and DonALD hate America so much? Why do you want to live in a fake democracy like Russia?
When there are multiple candidates within a party for the same elected position, this should always go to a primary vote. This is what democracy is truly about–not about selecting a party candidate by political insiders. This is an issue for all political parties in Indiana and has probably bitten the Democrats more that the Republicans here in the past but as the Republican super majority is feeling more of their oats, could come back to bite the more as they move be moving away from the majority of Hoosiers.
As one item, Indiana needs to allow binding referendums on ballots.
