The recent election of Republican Dean Tran of Fitchburg to the Massachusetts state Senate was an embarrassing rebuke to the state’s top Democrats, including U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Despite their opposition, Tran defeated Democrat Susan Chalifoux Zephir, a Leominster city councilor who had the support of the state’s Democrat Party hierarchy, as well as Charlene DiCalogero of Berlin an unenrolled candidate Claire Freda.

Was worried there for a second. Thought we had a so-called Republican Tranny.

I lived in Fitchburg many moons ago. I think it was a classic strong democrat town, but the old union democrat. I suspect that area went Trump.

I have a pair of pink flamingos I bought in remembrance of my time spent there.

That’s exactly what I thought. But hey I don’t even care if that was the case. As long as that’s kept out of my face and out of policy and they vote for the wall and deregulation and conservative judges. I don’t care.

Maybe you can change the title and include the person’s first name in it? Because the way that it’s titled now, you’re just going to have all the comments about how everyone thought it was a tranny versus the actual meat and content of the article.

Having been involved with settling Vietnamese refugees who made their way after Saigon fell, I got to know a few of them. Tran is one of the fairly common VN names. Dr. Tran is an example of their work ethic.

Trump took 3 towns in the district, Townsend, Westminster , and Sterling. Fitchburg was Shillery by almost 20 points. Overall Clinton took the district with 54.62%. But it was 60% Baker for Governor in 2014.

GOPster, the defeated rat has the awful name of Susan Chalifoux-Zephir, IIRC you mentioned this person to me once.

Hey, maybe we can confuse the left. When he runs for re-election, anyone the Democrats put against him, we can say they are “Tran-phobic”.
