Libertarian candidate Bedonie: GOP’s Ronchetti ‘cannot win with me in the way’ (New Mexico)
The Piñon Post ^ | October 17, 2022 | Piñon Post staff

On Sunday night, a video began circulating showing a Republican-turned-Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Karen Bedonie saying her Republican rival Mark Ronchetti “cannot win” with her in the race. Both are running to unseat Democrat first-term Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.

In the video shared on Twitter, Bedonie says, “The only comfort I find in this race is that man (Ronchetti) cannot win with me in the way. That man cannot win this race. He will never be governor as long as I am alive and well and in this race.

The snippet appears to be taken from a previous live stream Bedonie made, where she claimed “It’s amazing some of the phone calls that come in. Like, what does it take for a person to really hate somebody to call the campaign and to yell at our campaign team and telling them that Karen’s gonna split the vote? How crazy are you really thinking this is because it’s impossible to split a vote that was never his? Ronchetti is not a conservative, he’s not a New Mexican. The only comfort I find in this race is that man (Mark Ronchetti) cannot win with me in the way. That man cannot win this race. He will never be governor as long as I am alive and well and in this race”

She then added, “MLG — she is sweatin’ it because you know what? She’s gonna have to literally try and hope — and I don’t even know if that woman knows how to pray — that we don’t beat her, but I think we’re gonna beat her because we’re looking at 85% of Democrats that can’t stand her. We were in the belly of the beat of the Democrats. The People — not the party — the people. And they were excited.

Here’s your context for you: Republicans are not perfect, but the other side is insane.

Libtards are famous for raging, but what about this comment: Ronchetti is not a conservative, he’s not a New Mexican.? any context here?

Mark is more of a pragmatic conservative than a firebrand. He realizes that in New Mexico the state has had much more of government in control than in neighboring states like AZ and TX, and it will take time for it to become business friendly. His positions would do a lot for that but require the cooperation of a legislature that is as far-left as the current governor. Yes, he's not a native New Mexico, but has been here for almost 25 years. Just because you don't have a Hispanic middle name doesn't mean you can't live, work and consider New Mexico your home.

Losertarians are nothing but assistant Democrats. Their ticket actually endorsed Hillary in 2016.

Amazing how these ‘Libertarian’ candidates are so proud of further destroying the states in which they are running for office, pushing them more towards totalitarian leftism.

This is why I HATE Losertarians!

Excellent. I'm sure the insults and spittle will persuade them to your side. Keep it up, and keep voting for anyone with an "R" beside the name, regardless of how liberal they really are.

The time to remove RINO’s is in THE PRIMARIES

At the general election your choice is R or D... which do you think they should choose?

She’s admitting her actual and only purpose in running - to help the Dim win. I often think some Libertarians became Libertarians only to draw “independent” votes from the GOP and kowing they themselves can seldom win the positions they seek election to.

Libertarians are Democrats in drag, they have similar views and many times are paid by the Democrat Party to throw elections to the Dems as many people who call themselves Libertarians are generally stupid and young.

You can go on and vote for a fake liberty party that helps elect Democrats who are the most anti liberty of all of the parties.

Great going with that protest (wasted) vote!

The only wasted vote is one not made. You keep right on voting for the same old, same old, and then complaining when nothing whatsoever changes.
