  1. The GOP is responsible for picking and supporting this guy in the first place. I expected his reaction. Clueless, selfish, obstinate, bullheaded and anything but a team player. Yep. If he isn’t replaced he will lose to either Bayh or Ballard.

    1. Ballard won’t win as an independent.

      Rokita is freaking out because Ballard will be playing spoiler while the primary earlier this month showed the strongest signs of life out of the Indiana Democratic Party in a long time.

  2. All three need to go; Banks, Rokita and Morales. Banks has a PAC to eat his own Republicans, Rokita has been censored for lying to the Indiana Supreme Court and then there is Morales. This is also the same group who gaves us the all holy Beckwith who feels that he needs to stick his nose into places it does not belong and also has a new and very expensive SUV to drive at our expense.

    1. Saw Beckwith driving his state-issued SUV on 465 between Michigan Road & US-31 a couple weeks ago. It was between 10pm and 11pm, and he was going 85 or 90.

  3. “…it’s a bunch of insiders realizing that Morales would probably lose to Beau Bayh in November.”
    Exactly. Republicans are running scared. They try every underhanded stunt to cheat, as it’s the only way they can win at this point. They are disgusting.

  4. Rokita prefers the SOS office, much like his own and the Lt. Governor’s office, to be occupied by out of touch MAGAt Republicans who have provided an overwhelming body of evidence they have no concern for most Hoosiers, and are just there to reward their political and philosophical allies.
