Oh Todd. Your inner clown is showing again.
Snowflake AG can’t answer questions without throwing a tantrum – are we sure he should be in office?
I hope Rokita continues to do unnecessary (but stupid) stuff like this so Indiana voters will remember him next election. And choose otherwise.
I talk about how the current leading Republicans are lacking and I get bashed for being a Democrat. Is it too much to ask for a simple, competent, Republican gubernatorial candidate for 2024? The current situation is dire enough that I wish Holcomb could run again in 2024.
The current field of candidates is a joke. You’ve got Rokita. You’ve got Mike Braun who is completely over his head in elected office. You’ve got someone who moved here to buy a seat with Dad’s money in Hollingsworth with apparently more money to burn. (Lugar got ditched for not living here but it’s different with Hollingsworth. Whatever.)
Todd Rokita does garbage like this with our tax dollars every couple weeks yet Republicans refuse to do anything about it. Everyone in the world knew Rokita would be this kind of performative AG trying to reboot his career yet “Republicans” held their nose and voted for Rokita less than two years after sending him to the sidelines, where he belonged.
The Todd Rokita as Secretary of State who once proposed to make it harder to gerrymander voting districts in Indiana? Long, long gone.
Joe you “get bashed” because you are a Democrat and every post is a far left opinion. If only IN had a Cuomo to show us how to govern….
You imply Holcomb is somehow a poor Governor. Yes, Braun purchased an election, hardly a partisan act. Same for Trey. Joe, were you equally upset when Hilary carpetbagged her NY Senate seat? Lugar didn’t “get dumped” because he didn’t live here. He lost an election because the voters got tired of a career politician that no longer represented their views.
Yes, we have very poor choices for most elections. That is because government jobs are where incompetent people go to hide. Look at the last 2 presidential cycles. 40+ candidates and we produced the 2 worst Presidents in the last 100 years back to back.
Your political party now has the most important criteria for any job as gender and skin color. When the conversation is lamenting the quality of candidates, you might want to sit down.
I voted for Holcomb. Here are the Republicans that I passed on voting for in 2020:
Donald Trump / Mike Pence
Todd Rokita
Jack Sandlin
John Jacob
So spare me that I’m a Democrat. I haven’t changed. The above list is a bunch of people who aren’t Republicans and are not suited to hold elected office, not a one of them. You may be able to compromise your values and vote for such “leaders”, but I am not.
And Lugar doesn’t represent their views? More like he wasn’t willing to compromise and be one of those RINO’s that has destroyed the Republican Party. The type of RINO who repeats lies like “Obama wasn’t born here”. The type of RINO who doesn’t see Democrats as Americans but as “the enemy” while giving comfort to anti democratic strongmen. The type of RINO who feels the only people who should be punished for January 6th are the Republicans who dare not go along with the lies.
If you thought Richard Mourdock was better for Indiana than Dick Lugar, you should re-evaluate your belief system and how you got so far out in the weeds.
This is all silly nonsense. Ridiculous.
Damn bruh! I thought…
Note to IBJ publisher: put Shabazz on your masthead as a Contributing Editor and give him a photo ID to gain access to official government events. Then we’ll see what Rokita really is.
Shabazz already a media credential. Rokita ignores it because he doesn’t like what Abdul wrote about him years ago.
Rokita should be impeached for this stupidity. That’s two totally unfit Attorney General’s in a row. Maybe it’s time for this position to be appointed by the Governor instead of elected.
Joe B – Thank you for your comments – especially re: Lugar
Rokita can inspire strong words. Let’s hope it continues and translates into strong actions when Mr. Repeal and Replace Obamacare is on the ballot again. That publicity hound is probably enjoying this, believing as the extremists do that the only bad publicity is in the Obituaries.
