8 thoughts on “Former Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard declares for secretary of state race

  1. It will be interesting to see if Republican delegates to their convention realize the total unsuitability of Diego to hold elected office … or if they’re so far down the rabbit hole they still don’t see it after 3 years of incompetence and grifting.

    1. Diego is exactly who the Trumpublicans want in office because he will continue to carry the water for them to prevent as many people as possible from voting. The GOP as we knew it is long gone and buried. The soul of the party has been sold to the devil.

  2. Diego needs to go….but this is a ploy, perhaps, to elect Bayh. His dad was a good Secretary of State and I voted once for him for Governor. However, given the direction of the Democrat party, I can never support any action that leads to the election of ANY Democrat!
    Republicans need to do the right thing and nominate a good candidate that can win.

    1. Yeah, that’s the kicker. Ballard is a soft-r Republican. He’s willing to cross the aisle, negotiate, and he loves electric cars and public transportation. These are all attributes that the contemporary Republican Party rejects outright.

  3. I really like Greg. He wasn’t a perfect Mayor (nobody is) and I didn’t agree with him 100% of the time. But I frequently found myself nodding to his proposals and his ideas. He’s a pragmatic dude with a true love for Indiana and Indianapolis. I actually think he would do very well in this position. I am a typical D voter but Greg Ballard would probably get my vote.
