Where Have All The Coattails Gone?

Thanks to Sangamon County Board Member Marc Ayers for posting these two door hangers side-by-side. They're showing up around the Springfield, Illinois area in advance of the election next week, and the Alert Reader may notice a glaring difference between them. 

The one on the right shows outstanding Democratic candidates for whom all right thinking people should vote, and is proud to show Kamala Harris and Tim Walz at the top of our ticket, and the diversity of our party.

You will notice, however, that the one on the left makes no mention whatsoever of who is leading the Republican party ticket.  Y'know, the fascist who won the Sangamon County Republican primary just seven months ago with 76.5% of the vote.  The same fascist they proudly nominated at their convention just three months ago.  The same fascist who, just yesterday, staged the first fascist rally at Madison Square Garden since 1938.

From the Washington Post:

Trump rally speakers lob racist insults, call Puerto Rico ‘island of garbage’

Donald Trump was president (God help us) for four ruinous years and has 100% name recognition, and yet our local Republican party -- which has never had a problem pandering to the basest instincts of the party faithful -- is so frightened of reminding voters of who they really are and what they really believe,  that suddenly Trump is...



... He Who Must Not Be Named.  

They're running for office by running away from the top of their own ticket, and I, for one, take that as a very positive sign.

Thank you. A very nice one among many positive signs.

In 2016, Clinton was 6% above Trump the day Comey stepped in.

Too this day, not one news person has asked the JD Vance why does he wear women's eye liner? How long has he? What is his favorite brand? We need to know more about him on things like this . As a undecided voter who might decide on election day when I get to the polls and have the ballot in front of me. I mean do they expect me to flip a coin for president like I did last election or what??

Is it true that Trump chose JD because Jeffery Epstein is dead?
That he found out that Hannibal Lector is not a real person and merely a movie cast role like the guy who played on the Apprentice?
