Christine Hallquist, a Transgender Woman, Wins Vermont Governor’s Primary
New York Times ^ | August 14, 2018 | Jess Bidgood

On a cloudy afternoon this summer, Christine Hallquist, a former utility executive from Vermont, listened closely as Danica Roem, the Virginia state delegate who won national recognition when she became the first transgender person elected to her state’s Legislature, offered tips as the pair canvassed a stark residential neighborhood here.

Ms. Hallquist is transgender, too, but Ms. Roem’s advice had nothing to do with gender identity. Try a light, rhythmic knock. Leave a handwritten note with campaign literature if no one is home. Try to earn every vote.

“I have so much to learn,” Ms. Hallquist said, duly incorporating Ms. Roem’s lessons with each new knock.

On Tuesday, those lessons paid off, and Ms. Hallquist, a Democrat, made history of her own. She became the first transgender candidate to be nominated for a governorship by a major party, beating three other candidates in Vermont’s Democratic primary, according to The Associated Press.

“Christine Hallquist, a Transgender Woman, Wins Vermont Governor’s Primary”

There have always been lunatics. This is nothing new.

What is new and frightening is the number of people who support this sickness. Trouble ahead for that state and this nation.

And I mean trouble.

Inmates running the asylum, how wonderful. We are here: “If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

Whatever he/she is, it cannot help the democrat cause. Ethan Allen, with much consternation, might just come back.

It won’t be too much longer until the democrat party nominates a tranny for president.

Hopefully we can win the seat now. The crazier the candidate, the better our chances.

I'm confused. Is this guy a homo pole smoker or a tranny lesbian?

“Move over Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Hallquist is sure to get the limelight over the next couple of months.”

Yup, the old checkboxes of chick and latina are totally passe and 2015. Now dudes with silicon glued to their chests are the new rage

Yet another position stolen by a man in drag. Poor women, you used to be good at sports and campaigns, but guys are pushing through this whole women’s lib thing to get the touchdown.

It is a freak show in every sense of the word. They don’t run everyday average Americans anymore for office. It’s either hardcore communists, gays, lesbians, trannys, Muslims, criminals. Why is this party a major party in the USA?

Back in the day, Democrats were people who were wrong on many issues but still represented the interests of normal Americans (whether you agreed with them or not) - union members, urban "ethnics", etc. At some point, perhaps when many of these people defected and voted for Reagan in the 80's, the Democrats decided to become the party of the political fringe: on the basis that racially radicalized "minorities" together with this fringe are enough to win national elections (which unfortunately they were, in 2008 and 2012). There's a light year of difference between Harry Truman (or even Tip O'Neill) vs. Maxine Waters or Ocasio-Cortez.
