In Minnesota, Republican Karin Housley debates empty lectern.
Powerline Blog: In my comments on the Minnesota Senate race between appointed incumbent Tina Smith and GOP challenger Karin Housley, I have routinely described Tina Smith as a vacuous metro liberal. How vacuous is she? She declined to debate Housley yesterday evening, letting an empty lectern stand in her place (video below). Smith was a no-show. MORE
Somebody could easily photoshop an NPC onto that empty lectern.
Reminds me of the Eastwood-Obama debate of 2012.
And chances are the DFL will win because, by God, they were born DFL and will die DFL. Or that’s what was explained to me back when I lived there.
Reminds one of Clint Eastwood debating Obama represented by an empty chair.
I was at a small meet and greet recently for Karin Housley. She’s the real deal.
She could easily win with just a little national support…and might win anyway.
(hadn’t seen TN Tuxedo’s comment before typing)
I hear the Dems have a new ad out:

They’ll probably slam Housley for turning a sacred debate into a political rally.
That should raise the tenor of the debate when the democrat is removed. The moderator won’t waste time having to explain everything.
Tina is tied up with her nose on the High Road, can’t find reason to debate Karin.
Why is her name familiar to me? Lived in MN 33 years; but gone one year and I forget everything!
I pray that MN will have enough people to walk away from their life-long stupor and vote for her.
I also saw a tweet from President Trump supporting Eric Paulsen. He was my Rep. and I had to vote for him or the D would win. But his conservative score was always F. The only thing somewhat conservative was his support of financial responsibility. That is what President Trump needs him for.
If there was a media moderator of this “debate”, the democrat didn’t need to show up; the moderator will argue with the republican. Just like in REAL debates.
Of course it is. It’s the best kind of debate, because you can do the Clint Eastwood empty chair bit with your opponent.
I walked away from the Dopey Freak Loony party in 1980 but talk about a frustrating place to live as a conservative Christian.
