Read the entire article.
Did I miss it, or was there not one bloody bit of info on where this gentleman stands on anything?!
Interesting. West Point is a school you are recommended for. Was his recommendation political, if so, whom?
This would raise a lot of questions for me. I find it almost impossible to believe he's actually a conservative.
I’m not sure that a West Point degree is a positive on a resume these days. The place is a cesspool of political correctness, Black militants and communists.
I don’t know much about the guy, but I think he might be someone to keep an eye on.
A black conservative would be nice. That said, I need to know more about him. If he agrees with me 90% of the time, I’ll donate.
There’s a little irony there, his father and mother are both Democrats. In fact, his father donated to the very sitting U.S. senator he would like to face next fall in a general election.
This would raise a lot of questions for me. I find it almost impossible to believe he’s actually a conservative.
Because everyone knows your political preference is genetic. Set from birth, and immutable.
Oh, I do, too.
To my mind, after reading the article, I’m considering this guy to be Uniparty until proven otherwise.
No, because there is not one frickin’ word about what this guy frickin’ believes anywhere in that frickin’ article.
If he’s so good, why go straight to the US Senate without proving to voters that he’s a real Republican? Kid Rock may rub some people (Democrats) the wrong way, but at least I KNOW he’s a Republican and not a RINO, or worse, an undercover Democrat. He has to PROVE to a skeptical GOP base through ACTIONS and VOTES that he’s a real conservative. One of the best ways is to run for a lower elected office and act like a real Republican in that position.
The Uniparty is scared ****less by the prospect of a Kid Rock win. If a guy like that can win a Senate seat...Katy, bar the door!
After allowing a communist dirtbag like Spenser Rapone to graduate in 2016, and ignoring a bunch of black communist b*tches who gave a black power salute, my opinion of West Point is in the crapper.
No. Nothing on his website either.
You could say the same about your hero, Kid Rock. How do you really know he's a conservative? Because he says so?
Chris Rock is not my hero. But yes, in his position as a private citizen, Chris Rock has been saying so, FOR YEARS, and at the detriment of his professional career.
Meanwhile I know nothing about the subject of his article. If it is all about winning, I agree that having an attractive and accomplished black man is very powerful. But if we care about the way that man would govern or vote once in power, and NOT be like so many other accomplished, well-spoken people who said the right things and once in power turned out to be part of the swamp, then it behooves us to have some sort of proof otherwise. That’s why I didn’t support Trump in the primaries. And that’s why I breathed a huge sigh of relief at the way he’s governing.
what about this race?
23 Oct: E&E News: The biggest climate election this year might be in Seattle
by Benjamin Storrow
A win for Manka Dhingra, a prosecutor, would give Democrats control of all three elected branches in Olympia, the state capital of Washington, and pave the way for Gov. Jay Inslee (D) to pursue an aggressive climate agenda. Senate Republicans, who now maintain a one-seat majority, have long frustrated Inslee’s climate aspirations. Their hopes rest on Jinyoung Lee Englund, a former staffer to U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R) who has dabbled in business as a Bitcoin spokeswoman and app developer since leaving Washington, D.C.
The stakes are perhaps best illustrated in campaign dollars. Climate activists Michael Bloomberg and Tom Steyer have funneled $250,000 and $125,000, respectively, to a political action committee supporting Dhingra’s cause, according to state campaign finance records. Oil interests, meanwhile, have rushed to Englund’s side, with Phillips 66 Co. spending $350,000, refining company Andeavor dropping $290,000 and Chevron Corp. chipping in $100,000 to committees supporting the 33-year-old Republican. Koch Industries Inc. has even gotten in the game with a $25,000 contribution...
Inslee included a carbon tax as part of a budget proposal aimed at addressing a shortfall in education funding (Climatewire, Dec. 14, 2016). A Democratic member of the state House separately proposed a price on carbon (Climatewire, Feb. 22). Both measures failed.
A win for Dhingra would likely revive the topic, environmentalists and local political observers said...
