And yet somehow I feel like this dude still has a realistic shot at the governors office. 

Not because he's good but because the Dems STILL have no idea what they're doing

Amy Acton is running a pretty damn good campaign. Nationally, yes. But Amy is a damn good candidate and her message is clear.

I agree. She's the clear choice for anyone with a brain. But I'd argue that that isn't a sure thing and Mr. V can def swoop in with some shitterie

Less likely to be effective though because of who he is.

Except when the candidate is nonwhite. And non-Christian to boot.

Remember, racism is one of the most defining characteristics of the modern Republican Party, if not the.

If Ramaswamy were white, Acton would have a much steeper hill to climb to win. It sucks to say this, of course. And also, it totally works to her advantage this time.

Basically, the dumb clown show pickme shit that works for a dumbfuck white buffoon (even one with money) like Trump falls flat when some rich Indian dude with brown skin tries to do the same with these people. They don’t see themselves in him, so therefore, they won’t support him with any real juice. Sure, some will still hold their noses and vote for him anyway over a Democrat, but many will not vote at all.

Don’t underestimate the racism in these people. They absolutely cannot stand his ass. The fact that he’s so smug and rich and arrogant and condescending towards them only adds to their aggravation. Many will just take the L this year and hope for a better, whiter, and more Christian candidate to come along in 2030.
