Did Adam Schwarze's campaign just implode?
After that, things get wierd. Alpha News also reports "Schwarze’s campaign said the 'last-minute cancellation, sprung on candidates without warning, raises serious questions about whether outside pressure is being used to shield [Michele] Tafoya from having to defend her record in front of Minnesota voters.'" That's when the hammer dropped on the Schwarze campaign:
Following Schwarze’s claim that the forum was canceled, Farmfest confirmed to Alpha News that the event is still on. A Farmfest spokesperson said "the Senate Candidate forum is not cancelled. That is false information. It will commence as planned."Adam Schwarze had a booth at FarmFest. He's still whining that the RNC is protecting Michele Tafoya: First, Michele Tafoya doesn't need help of ANY sort. She's traveled the world, covered the Winter Olympics. She brings a different skillset to the campaign. Next, Republicans need to win some statewide elections. We don't need 'Litmus Test Republicans' who lose, then state that they're the principled candidate. I don't want a candidate who passes the litmus test, then loses. You don't get to govern if you don't have a gavel.
"By denying primary voters the opportunity to watch and learn about the candidates in a debate that includes the MN GOP endorsed candidate, the debate voters deserved was canceled," Schwarze said. "It’s why we are calling on Farm Fest to allow our participation."The people didn't support Schwarze with contributions or support in the polls. He knew the criteria and fell short.
Tomorrow’s Farmfest candidate forum offered an opportunity for the pair to square off, but Schwarze is not invited to the event because he did not meet the necessary criteria. Farmfest provided Alpha News with a memo which outlined that criteria.What an excuse. He knew the rules and fell short. This isn't that complicated.According to the memo, "Candidates had to be legally qualified for the office on the ballot as the candidate of a party recognized by the State of Minnesota, and have obtained at least 15 percent level of support in recent independent public polling." Schwarze has not polled at 15% in recent, independent polling.
Prior to his claim that the forum had been canceled, Schwarze told Alpha News he was initially invited to the forum but was "then told the DC Establishment set the rules and used a June poll" to lock him out of the forum.
“This is the same DC playbook trying to hide Michael Tafoya’s complete lack of qualifications and her liberal policy positions: PRO-ABORTION, Pro-Red Flag Gun Laws, Pro-Amnesty for illegals, and a NEVER-Trumper,” Schwarze said.Whine, whine, whine, whine, whine. We deserve a candidate with soluttions. A candidate that's all litany and no sulutions deserves to be omitted.
