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.

Vermont’s Leftist mindset has come home to roost. When the eggs hatch they will have egg on their face. Cultural Marxism does not just take an inch.

Can he still poll the electorate, or has that ability been removed?

“Aren’t feminists upset that now women with penises are winning more sports and elections?? How is that any different from before, when MEN (with the same penises) were winning everything?”

Excellent point. And Deminists are too stupid to see it. Seems men have just figured out how to dominate womyn again, even if they have to “become” them!

Had one of these tranny freaks behind me in line at costco today in NE FL. A portly middle aged guy in a dress, wig and lipstick. It was hard not to laugh because he looked totally ridiculous.

3,500+ voted for the 14 year old boy.

Prolly the smartest candidate on the ballot having figured out how to attain a spot.

Great news. I wonder if he’ll be campaigning with all those swing district donks with designs on taking the house.

I actually wouldn’t be surprised if the media doesn’t talk about this very long. Even they have to know that this is utterly crazy.
