I did not vote for him in the primaries. Just didn’t come across as trustworthy to me. I have to admit, he has no one to blame but himself.
However, it is true that this is a tactic that has been used to flip red states blue. Most well known is Colorado. Where they waited for the “October” surprise to put out propaganda regarding wrong doing.
It worked for the most part. Even though later, it was shown that most of it was not true. The damage was done.
I have little sympathy for this the Gov. However, I do detest the DEMs for using the Courts to accomplish what they could not do at the ballot box. At this point, we don’t have the facts. Yet we do have Engler (Republican) leading the effort to get him tossed out so to speak.
Yes, it’s clearly a political hit. Probably payback for greitens jumping off the Rat ship to join the repugs in attempt to curry favor with out-state voters.
Most times I figure that when a politician gets slimed he had it coming, and this time is no different in that regard.
The only thing that bothers me about the whole deal is that he’s actually been a decent governor.
I’m sure whatever winds up happening in the end he’ll land on his feet and wind up with a cush job as a lobbyist.
