The MNGOP's unity ticket?

On her many earned media interviews, Michele Tafoya preaches the gospel of party unity. Thus far, we haven't heard much from GOP Gubernatorial Nominee Lisa Demuth but I've just heard from MNGOP State Party Chairman Alex Plechash. In this tweet, GOP Influencer Dustin Grage wrote "Warms my heart to see so many Republicans excited about Michele Tafoya and Lisa Demuth now that the primary is over. More and more conservatives are jumping on board with each passing day. Make no mistake: Republicans want to end the fraud, and these two candidates can also win over Independents in November.

Plechash wrote "Minnesota Republicans sent a clear message Tuesday: we are ready to win. We nominated a statewide ticket with the experience, talent, and credibility to change Minnesota's direction. Lisa Demuth gives us the opportunity to elect a historic Governor — a proven conservative leader, successful businesswoman, and Speaker of the Minnesota House who knows how to lead and win. Michele Tafoya brings star power, communication skills, and a successful career outside politics to the U.S. Senate race. She can take our message directly to voters in a way few candidates can.

Minnesota GOP activists have lots of reasons to unite. First, if we don't unite, Minnesota will be lost forever. That's enough reason right there. Next, the message preached by Tafoya and Demuth is what comservatives have pushed for for years. I've heard activists whine that Tafoya is pro-choice. To them, I say "So what?" Before the Dobbs decision, the life-choice issue mattered to senators. Pre-Dobbs, senators voted on life-choice issues. Post-Dobbs, life-choice issues are decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, state legislatures and governors. Period.

This year, the Republicans I've talked with simply want to win. Michele Tafoya sat down with Esme Murphy for an interview this morning:

I was impressed to see Michele stand up to difficult questions, then say that she'd stand with Trump when she thought he was right. She apparently isn't the march-in-lockstep ideologue that Lt. Gov. Flanagan is.

Michele highlighted the fact that Lt. Gov. Flanagan isn't taking responsibility for the rampant fraud. Flanagan isn't a profile in courage. Why promote a loser like that?

Kendall Quall's big mistake

Image
A loyal reader of this blog just sent me a screenshot touting Kendall Qualls. The screenshot is short on truth. What it lacks in truth, it makes up for in fiction. Here's Kendall's fiction: Kendall Qualls should be ashamed for spewing this BS. First, Qualls knows better than this. Jeff Johnson and Lisa Demuth have both confirmed that they're abiding by the Convention's endorsement. This appears to be Qualls attempting to be something he isn't. While I'm not disputing whether Mr. Qualls will abide by the endorsement, I'm calling BS that he's THE ONLY GOP CANDIDATE who will abide by the endorsement. This brings into question whether Mr. Qualls is willing to say anything to win. We don't need another candidate who'll put together fiction to win. We've had too many candidates who fit that description throughout the years. Next, we need people who fit J.C. Watts' description of character. Watts said that "the definition of character is d...

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Image
Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...
