Sorry...if you're running for governor of the state, you need to be from the state, not registering to vote in that state a few days before you declare your candidacy, and when you still didn't have a primary residence in that state. That is classic carpetbagging.

And no, someone from an abutting state still does not meet that basic requirement just because they are in the neighborhood. Not sure what facts you think aren't straight, but it's pretty simple - she's not a Rhode Islander, and has no business even being in the race for governor.

What the fuck does that word salad even mean? What is a "band magazine"? He voted against "you are rights?" Just how fucking wasted were you when you typed that nonsense...or are you just as dumb as dumb gets?

Exactly. If you love the orange douche and his party of traitors, you'll love Kalus. Otherwise, regardless of how you feel about McKee, the choice is a no-brainer. McKee sucks, but he's better than the alternative, and it's not close.

If you ever figure out the answer to your first question, please PM me the answer. I assume part of the problem is the intense scrutiny of every last aspect of your life...ever...is something you have to be prepared to deal with. Between the media and opposition research, there will be a record of every time you blew your nose, and it will be on page 1, or in the next attack ad from your opponent. It's insane. That's not an easy ask, and the "best and brightest" probably don't want to deal with it. Howard Stern warned Trump that he was going to fuck up his life forever if he got elected, and I'd say Stern was absolutely right. Trump could have gone on for eternity being the douchebag he was/is, and the average Joe wouldn't have a clue. Now the world...including a lot of law enforcement...knows all too well what he is.

Almost no one voting in primaries is another factor, I'm sure. When only the wingnuts show up, wingnuts get nominated, and one of them wins the seat.

That's the attitude that got us Trump. Hillary was so unlikeable to many that they thought "what could be so bad about giving Trump a try?". Then he got elected, and the sane among us found out exactly why it was a bad idea giving Trump a try. I despise Hillary, but voted for her over Trump. It was a no-brainer. I'll do the same with McKee. The lesser evil of two horrible options. Smart people hold their nose and vote for the person you think is the least horrible.
