The governor who works from home in Jasper and choppers around the state at taxpayer expense accuses the people he needs persuade of “hiding behind closed doors”?
Little wonder Braun has no influence. And why are Republicans the party of projection?
“The party of projection” learned the behavior from their standard-bearer. The published comments of other Indiana elected officials are sickeningly similar to the Chief’s.
Bravo to Sen. Bray for standing up to the onslaught. I will definitely vote for him for reelection, based solely on his principled stand on this issue.
Joe— what percent of time does Braun spend in Jasper and what is your source?
It’s especially funny because Braun and Beckwith met with JD Vance LITERALLY BEHIND A CLOSED DOOR COVERED BY A CURTAIN. Braun SUCKS.
The people pay for the governor’s mansion. The least a governor can do is live there full time. Braun signed up to run for governor. If he didn’t want that obligation, he could have stayed in the Senate or … just retired.
And when you’re a governor expecting everyone else to work from the office yet you work remotely… well, let’s just say in any line of work, that is no way to generate respect from your staff.
And, no, wasn’t a big fan of Mitch Daniels living in Carmel.
https://indianacapitalchronicle.com/2025/08/20/braun-flew-to-from-jasper-home-11-times-over-six-months/
The left has been doing this for years….Might as well join the party. Not that any of us have to like redistricting. (Washington sucks)
W.K., if the left has been doing this for years, exactly when was the last time the left did partisan driven redistricting mid-decade? Factually, I believe the last time any state did it was Texas in 2003 and Georgia in 2005 – Clearly, two solidly left states (LOL). I guess you could say California’s recent push but that was only AFTER Texas and North Carolina (and Indiana) – again, solidly left states – announcing their push to do so. Perhaps you mean redistricting in general. Well in that case the right wins again with 8 of the top 10 most gerrymandered states are those with Republican led legislatures. This couldn’t be right-wing projection again, could it? Unfortunately, the uniformed right-wing base believes everything their political propaganda machine tells them.
Excellent comment, Greg S!
Lol dang, W.K. You just got smoked. You should take your bad faith right-wing talking points elsewhere.
Add to “projection” the scourge of “whataboutism” to the political talking points toolbox of the MAGA crowd.
Tough when you can’t focus on real issues: jobs, income, health care, inflation, housing afforability.
Commendations to those who stood for Indiana. We do not need national leaders dictating what we do in Indiana. The emphasis of our legislators is to be “whats best for the citizens of Indiana”. Not answering to the whims of an egotist who is afraid lof losing. Potnetial legal action in future, if loses control?
+1 Continue to do what’s best for the citizens of Indiana.
Stay strong.
Agree- strong work Senators. Senator Huston has my support. I’m tired of this Washington brow beating.
Indiana Republicans already gave away a US Senate to TRUMP . TRUMP’s Senator Jim Banks only serves TRUMP’s whims .
This just in from the New York Times:
Federal Court Blocks Texas’ Republican-Friendly Congressional Map
The move by a three-judge panel dealt a blow to efforts by Texas Republicans and President Trump to flip Democratic seats in the state.
Why would Indiana want to go through the angst and expense to go through this, and if Redistricting should happen to succeed, WHY would we have gone through all the effort to try to please Trump and his administration only to wind up in this same situation?
Do not succumb to the pressure and threats. Stay strong.
The only reason Banks won is because voters are too lazy, or ill informed, to know how to vote for individuals rather than just straight ticket. Trump and his MAGAets can go away, they are embarrasments to this country and nothing but a group of bombastic hypocrits. The Indiana leaders are too embedded with their dear Uncle Donald to be able to think for themselves. Uncle Donald, stay in Washington and stay the heck out of our politics! This country is built on states rights, Braun and company try exercising them.
