You think it’s as bad as that? Obviously you don’t want to nominate this guy (sorry FRiends this dude isn’t Trump he’s more like Moore) but I think Gunzturder is exaggerating with his “worst ever” stuff (that was Moore, actually). I honestly think he’ll do better than Gilmore did.
He praised this Nehlen twerp a year and half before Nehlen let the world know he was a Nazi? Big deal. Everyone has disavowed that jackhole.
Obviously I don’t think that Stewart is the worst GOP Senate candidate ever (for instance, Christine O’Donnell was a worse Senate candidate, and so was Todd Akin after he opened his yap; and how about that Schlesinger guy who was banned from the Foxwoods Casino for card-counting?), but I do think that Stewart’s shtick is polarizing and that, while it might help us with turnout in rural areas, voters in VA-10 disproportionately will be turned off by it. Congresswoman Barbara Comstock is a great candidate for that district, and she outperformed President Trump handily there in 2016 (had she not done so, she’d be a former congresswoman right now), but this time she’s facing a better known and better financed Democrat opponent than last time. The last thing that Comstock needs is depressed GOP turnout in Fairfax and Loudon Counties.
BTW, Stewart won the primary by only 5,000 votes or so, and it largely was on the strength of his performance in NoVA. I know that he’s an elected official in Prince William County, but I doubt that he was so popular with GOP primary voters in Alexandria and in Fairfax and Arlington Counties, and I strongly suspect that many Democrats in those liberal areas asked for the GOP ballot so as to give Kaine a weaker general-election opponent.
