Maine Dems Blast National Party for Quick Endorsement in Primary

Senate candidate ‘genuinely disgusted’ by DSCC’s immediate backing of Sara Gideon.

WFB:

Democrats running in the Maine Senate race sharply criticized national Democrats for immediately giving their support to Sara Gideon less than 24 hours after she entered the race.

Gideon, a Democratic speaker of the Maine House of Representatives, announced her decision to challenge incumbent Republican senator Susan Collins on Monday afternoon. By Tuesday morning the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee announced it was “proud to fight alongside” Gideon and began formally fundraising for her campaign. At 12:40 p.m., Gideon personally authored a fundraising plea to the DSCC’s email list.

The reaction from the two already-declared Democratic candidates was immediate. Betsy Sweet, who came in third in the 2018 Democratic gubernatorial primary and has already won endorsements, took aim at the “political elite” trying to control the Maine election.

“Here we go again,” Sweet tweeted shortly after the DSCC’s endorsement. “The DC political elite is trying to tell Mainers who our candidate should be.” more here

  1. “The DC political elite is trying to tell Mainers who our candidate should be.”

    …yeah, and???

    …how can you call yourself a Democrat, lived through the 2016 Presidential nomination farce on the Democrat side, and NOT know how they do?

    …BTW, you just marked yourself by complaining. Bye. And if you STILL complain about this after you’re cast out, there’s probably a gym bag somewhere you’re going to, uh, “Suicide” in, just sayin’…

  2. “We’re an independent bunch” Sweet added.

    No you’re not, you’re Democrats. Your whole existence is having “betters” (so called) decide things for the unwashed masses.

  3. The DNC endorsed her because they have seen how fast she and Janet Mills have managed to ruin the state and drive us into the poor house and how fast they and New Yorker Mayor of Portland Ethan Strimling got the newest Democrat voters in. The new voters are all from Africa and not here legally.
    The left are obsessed with bringing Africans into this state.
    They aren’t bringing anything good with them.
    My husband and a few other people in his office had to be tested for TB this week because the company is so invested in hiring for diversity they brought an African in who sat in the cubicle next to my husband’s. Turns out the African has TB.
    The local media is working so hard to cover for these Somalis and Congolese and Angolans that even though I sent them an anonymous tip about the TB (used to be big news) they ignored it. It’s disgusting.
    The DNC can have Sara Gideon. She is as sneaky and crooked as it gets. She waits until the Republicans have gone home after she closes a session and then opens a special session with only Dems to get things passed.
    The DNC is probably impressed as they can be.
