WFB: Senate challenger Al Gross told Democratic donors behind closed doors that his run as an “independent Alaskan” is a front.
“I will caucus with the Democrats. I’ve been an independent since I was 18, but if you look at my platform, you’ll see that most of my values are to the left,” Gross said Wednesday. “I’ve met with leadership in the Senate and they are very understanding that my best pathway to win is to remain as an independent.”
The concession—which Gross made while appealing to national donors during a Democratic National Committee virtual happy hour—is at odds with his campaign’s positioning. In a July ad, Gross said he was “running for U.S. Senate as an independent Alaskan,” adding that “out here, if you can’t think for yourself, you won’t survive.”
Gross’s admission may harm his ability to distance himself from national Democrats in historically red Alaska, which President Donald Trump won by nearly 15 points in 2016. According to University of Alaska Fairbanks political scientist Jerry McBeath, 58 percent of the state’s electorate identify as “nonpartisan and undeclared,” meaning that “if you’re aiming for the mass of Alaska voters, you would talk about yourself as an independent candidate.” more
Some independent Alaskan should set him adrift on an iceberg.
Set him adrift South Park style Alaskans, as suggested above (go to about 40 seconds in the video or watch the whole thing as it’s only a little over a minute long). This is Canadians setting a few govt. stooges adrift according to South Park. I’m not your friend, buddy.

That’s it, lie to the voters and then screw them after elected. You’ll fit right in and the country can always use another deceitful scumbag like you up there.
I hope to be reading about you being fatally mauled by a bear on your way to catch a plane to DC.
Kind of like Massachusetts. If you have a Democrat, an Independent and a Republican competing for office, no matter who wins, you always end up with a Democrat.
“… you’ll see that most of my values are to the left.”
Translation:
“I’m an amoral whore without a conscience – and will do anything to serve Mammon.”
izlamo delenda est …
Ironic. Assuming the left has vales.
He doesn’t hide what he is, people voting for him know what they are voting for.
Far better than the deceptions about what they are being presented by so many of our politicians, IMO.
“He doesn’t hide what he is …”
Then why isn’t he running as a Nazi?
Or as a Fascist?
Or as a Soviet Socialist?
Or as a Chi-Comm?
Or as a Demonrat?
“Independent” my ass.
izlamo delenda est …
I like the cut of this fellow’s jib. Does he have a newsletter?
Gee Wally, Al just wants to be a democRAT without the stain and stench of the label!
No kiddin Beave, pretty Gross, uh?
I was watching Al Gross, late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For the asshole, from his party began to turn,
And suddenly the bridges burned,
He went Amash! Yes, like that fool Amash,
Al went for cash, and to the Dems he dashed.
But like Amash, we caught on in a flash,
And now he’s trash, just like that fool Amash…
“…my best pathway to win is to remain as an Independent”. In other words, if I want to win, I need to lie to the voters.
Don’t you just love politicians?
I keep wondering why our last state that still has what could be called some frontier areas remaining puts these
grabby fingers socialists into office.
Sullivan (the GOP incumbent) only won this seat by 2% of the vote against Begich the Democrat incumbent in 2015. The GOP needs to really dirty up Gross for flat out lying to the people (tv, radio and print ads) to ensure a win.
In general the GOP better start paying close attention to the the keeping and increasing the Senate Majority and to taking back the House. If they lose either it will be four more years wasted trying to drive Trump from office and frankly a lot of politicians, pundits and Soros creatures may find themselves in coffins.
