Politico Goes Full Fluff for Beau Bayh, Indiana Dem Dynasty Secretary of State Candidate

It wasn't a political story so much as The Adoration of the Bayh Child with the three Magi all wrapped into one Politico national political correspondent by the name of Adam Wren, who's based in Indiana. His article on Friday was "Can a Democratic Dynasty Survive in This Red State?"

The subtitle even casts young Bayh in the role of potential political savior for the Democrats: "A race for statewide office in Indiana could chart the way forward for national Democrats."

This is a beatification of Bayh, a big bowl of fluff. It starts with a jog: "How else would a chiseled, 6’3 ex-Marine and ambitious Hoosier political scion celebrate but with some PT in the deep woods of southern Indiana?" And then we're told "as Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear — a fellow red-state Democrat with a family history in politics — recently said on his podcast, he cuts a figure like Captain America.”

The fluff could be tolerable if there were some political substance to the coverage of Beau Bayh, grandson of Senator Birch Bayh and son of another senator from Indiana, Evan Bayh. Instead what is recorded from him is pretty much the empty platitudes you would expect from someone running for high school student body president.

The reader is so besieged by hype-meister fluffery that it is hard to keep from bursting out laughing:

Dick Lugar was a Rino with a capital “R”.. The fact that Obama called Lugar his favorite Republican tells you everything you needed to know about Lugar!

Even worse.

Problem is females voting for any cute boy. They never should have been given the vote in the 1920s.

The females in this country will be the death of it.

They will embrace murderous Communism in a few moments if it appears cute and well packaged. Just look at Manboydami in New York. Or Clinton, or Gavin Hairproduct Newsome. Or JFK or RFK, or Birch Bayh or Evan Bayk.

When elections hinge on a few percentage points, having a predictable class of females who will vote for a Communist soyboy, even one who threatens their own lives, they will sure do it. They will push the election to the murderous Communist.

Repeal the 19th Amendment.

PS. Everybody knew all of the above when the Amendment was ratified by the states. Plain as day.

Like International Communism, hey, it's been tried, it is a failure. It has ruined normal life. We should repeal it.

I’m assuming you are NOT married. If you were, your wife would never let you hear the end of it.

Lugar was put in his place in ‘12 by a fella named Mourdock who promptly blew it in November over comments having to do with God’s will in rape. 6 years later he was defeated by Braun, another squish but at least it was in GOP hands where it belonged. Something tells me conservatives have to be very careful in that state meaning clean cut guys like Pence are the only ones who can get elected. It was Dan Quayle who took out Birch Bayh in the 80’s. He should have never left the state or accepted the VP slot.

…..or here if there were any of the AWFULs on FR.

Forty-one years, very happily. She agrees about the females.

Of course she is not one of the dumbasses who would vote for Mamdani or Piker or Beau Bayh or some other pinheaded cutiepie Communist, but she acknowledges the obvious that on election day, these females are killing our country.

In the past two or three elections, they have absolutely been stuffing our country down the collectivist sewerpipe.

Is it revenge for what they feel is some injury males have done to them like work harder than they do? Is it just plain stupidity? Is it nihilism? Is it rebellion against motherhood? Is it because they divorced their wifebeating husband and they now need total, cradle-to-grave government nurturing?

I don't care !

I just don't want them to vote anymore !

I don't want the entire country ruined because they can't handle adult life responsibly.

The Bayhs do the camera well
Especially to an obsequious media

Who on our side has the balls to say that about the women? Then there’s the blacks. They were better off coming here as slaves because in Africa they ate each other.
