Former Romney Aide Announces Senate Candidacy to Challenge Warren

Beth Lindstrom, a Massachusetts Republican who served in the administration of former Gov. Mitt Romney announced on Monday her candidacy for the Senate in a video she posted to YouTube.

Lindstrom is the fourth Republican so far who is challenging Democratic US Sen. Elizabeth Warren, The Boston Globe reported.

Lindstrom used the announcement of her candidacy to criticize President Donald Trump for his comments following the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, in line with Massachusetts Republicanism that is often more moderate than the national party.

"As an independent-minded Republican, I will oppose President Trump when he's wrong," Lindstrom said in a press release. "His response to what happened in Charlottesville should have encouraged the people of this country with a message of zero tolerance for ethnic or racial prejudice. This is not an occasion for equivocation or evasion. Let me be clear: the hatred spewed by white supremacists and neo-Nazis is ugly and bigoted."

This is the Romney/Brown wing of the party working to stop Geoff Diehl from getting the nomination.

An anti-Trump, and thus, anti-flyover-republican. (Anti-for)

They do not respect the will of the people.

Beth Lindstrom - another center-left Republican who will lose her Senate election by more than 20 points.

I'm not familiar with Geoff Diehl.

A real Conservative, I presume?

Is she the person who got the redecorating of her office from HGTV? It was during the Trading Spaces days.

“Beth Lindstrom - another center-left Republican...”

There is no ‘center’ anything.

There are those who oppose the blatant destructionism of the left and those who aid that destructionism.

Centrists are nothing more than leftists who can’t admit it to themselves.

Sad to say this might be the best we can do in Mass.

Shiva Ayyadurai is still running against her. My money’s on him to win the primaries. I was hoping for Curt Schilling to run, but he didn’t go to the MassGOP event I went to back in May.

Scott Diehl is also running and he’s an anti-corruption crusader. He stopped the Olympics from being held in Boston by revealing that our corrupt olympic committee sent one letter to our state government saying they wouldn’t foot extra money to the taxpayers and sent another letter to the international olympic committee saying Boston taxpayers would be on the hook for any cost overruns. Saved about $10 billion if i recall correctly. Also, in Massachusetts we pay around $650,000 per mile of road that gets laid by our Department of Transportation, compared to like a $150,000 national average, and Diehl took them on for that back in the day when they were floating a hike of the gas taxes to cover it. Diehl insisted that the Department of Transportation stop doing that and lo and behold, there was a huge collusion scheme uncovered between our Chamber of Commerce and the DoT.

There’s a third guy who’s running whose name I actually forget. He’s a black Republican and seemed like a good populist candidate with solid youth outreach. Talked about his escapades back when he was young at the talk (it was for College Republicans). I liked him too.

Still, my money’s backing Shiva. He seems like the guy to kill Warren with if Curt Schilling doesn’t run.

Correct!! I may not yet know who I will be voting FOR, but I sure as hell know who I will be voting AGAINST.
Makes my job easier. Since I began to vote, I have spent more time deciding who I must vote against.
Overall, voting NEGATIVE has brought results that verify my thoughts. I may not wholly support the candidate I vote FOR, but I remain very happy so see the loser doesn’t assume the office.

Yes, Geoff Diehl is a genuine conservative. I’ve met him.

Seems like voting for this female would not be any better than voting for Fauxcahontas.

That’ll be a hoot.

She can claim to be an Indian, and he can claim to be a Republican.

So in other words you have no idea what went on in Charlottesville either. Enjoy your election loss.
