Poll suggest support for Gov. Holcomb slipping

[churchmouse]

Recently moving to Indiana from the cesspool of Illinois where our governors go to jail, I have seen some bad governors including the one Illinois has now. I keep seeing all the people here that want to dump Holcomb because he is a RINO and agree and support this. However IMHO the time to do this was in the primary and if Rainwater wanted to be governor he should have run then. If Holcomb is defeated it will be by the democrat not a write-in.
If he is defeated there will be about fifty people that will be saying he was defeated to punish him for being a RINO. The press and all the democrats will be saying he was defeated because Indiana is moving from a conservative state to a more liberal society. That is what the people of Indiana will hear for the next four years. If you want to send a real message to a RINO you must beat them in the primary with a real conservative then go forward and beat the liberal. That is how you send the correct message. Jim.

And we have a winner.

So we have more from both sides of this. None of you are changing anyone's mind with the same old arguments.

In the end Trump will likely pull him along on his coattail...

Maybe. He got fewer votes than trump in 2016.

I heard Rob Kendall on a similar rant the other day, so if this sounds familiar to WIBC listeners...

Establishment Republicans are where we have our problems. The same ones who keep Constitutional Carry at arms length. Bosma? Big reason it never got a vote. He's gone, I have my concerns about Bray in the Senate. Holcomb? He'll sign it because he was on stage signing Civil Immunity at the NRA Convention in 2019. Is he part of the establishment? Yes.

We have some really solid non-establishment types out there. Jim Lucas for Governor? He'd get the INGO endorsement for sure. I don't think we'll ever see it, but it would be fun to watch.

Probably not, but it's fascinating to see. Dems vote as a bloc as they've enough intelligent people who understand that if you don't win, the rest doesn't matter. Repubs in general seem like they haven't figured out yet that perfect is the enemy of good enough and will vote to "punish" or "send a message" and end up loosing. A mystery to me, but maybe they like to be able to complain for the next 2, 4 or 6 years that "if only we'd run the right person we would have won." The latter's a fantasy of course, but maybe more satisfying than admitting you voted for the 60% good solution in order to win in lieu of sticking to your principles by only voting for the candidate who's 100% aligned the "right" way (no pun intended)! As Trump might say, sad.

I think the polling shows differently. As posted, Holcomb's popularity has fallen dramatically.

I'm sure Rob Kendall and Abdul will both be talking about this on their WIBC radio shows about local politics this weekend.

We fired Lugar after a lot of years, the same with Evan Bayh trying to carpet bag his way back into Indiana politics.

It's possible to do again, if we just quit allowing the SOS.

We fired Lugar and got 6 years of Donnelly, tell me how we won again?

Another Rainwater voter here.

You fellas are again proving a ;pint I made in that other Holcomb sucks thread.

 

[indykid]

Should this be a Rainwater thread? Don't know anything about him, but see what Holcomb has done as a "republican" and knowing how bad a democrat governor in Red Indiana would be, would it be possible to bring in that "other party" candidate?

Yep. If all the Holcomb voters says "Screw you, I'm not letting you do things to me again" and voted Rainwater, then We'd have a good governor.

Amazing that in supposedly red state pro-liberty Indiana, our choice is between petty lockdown tyrant and aspiring petty lockdown tyrant.

And you just hit the nail on the head.

Typical defeatist bull****.

"Oh boo hoo, woe is me, what are we gonna do??!?!? Cant vote for a RINO, and Cant vote for a Dem. We're screwed!"

"So vote 3rd party; he's a good candidate. There are other choices."

"We cant do that, that would be silly. As I was saying.... boo hoo, woe is me... "

I looked at Rainwater's website and see he is proposing eliminating income tax and property tax. Has he said how he plans to replace that income?
