Skip’s post Race For Governor: Can Kelly Ayotte Get Past Her Never-Trump Baggage proved quite popular. But Ayotte has a bigger problem than her virtue-signaling, Hillary-enabling alleged write-in vote for Mike Pence in 2016. Ayotte represents a GOP that no longer exists.
The GOP base does NOT support endless-forever-wars. The base is not as dumb as the Establishment thinks it is. The base knows the Establishment LIED about WMDs in Iraq. They don’t believe that “Putin is Hitler,” and that if we don’t “stop Putin” in Ukraine he’s going to roll his mighty Tiger tanks … oh! I’m sorry! T-90s … all the way to the Atlantic Ocean because Russia lacks “living space.”
How does being an endless-forever-war Neocon, which is Ayotte’s image, make one a “good candidate” … to borrow a phrase fro the NHGOP-Establishment … for Governor of New Hampshire? It doesn’t. It puts you at odds with the base and doesn’t offset that by attracting “unaffiliated voters.” An Ayotte candidacy would be a candidacy without a constituency, except for the Establishment grifters and the die-hard all-Rs-good-all-Ds-bad crowd.
