“Coats . . . was a founding father of compassionate conservatism”
Please, no.
We’ve had more than our share of the “compassionate” conservatism stuff: it translates into compassion for bigger government, but no compassion for those wanting limited government.
Strike Coats.
This author sure is pushing Coats. I won’t vote for him. He was a supporter of the assault weapons ban. He’s no conservative.
State Sen. Marlin Stutzman is the best candidate.
very whiny/biased of the author to claim that Stutzman used ‘democratic talking points’ when in fact Stutzman pointed out that Coats is an out-of-state lobbyist for years since leaving the Senate, and that the Democrats would use this to pick apart Coats.
Coats is riding on establishment endorsements.... he will be a missed oppty of another establishmentarian ... this is why Sen DeMint endorsed Stutzman.
Stutzman is the real deal.
