Please don't discount Steffi! I NEVER expected my city to go all gQp but.....The electorate is fickle, and in this blue state there are solid pockets of Trumpanzees who don't object to misogyny, mass shootings, anti-semitism, and racial hate....actually that describes their political platform! Beware...

Oh, I'm not resting on my pretend-laurels. I know things can go south quickly, but Bob? Really? Is that the best the CT GOP has to offer?

He is the BEST they have to offer otherwise he would not be THEIR nominee! There are no more Eisenhower Republicans, the party is all in with Trump and his cult.

I may be naive but I cling to the notion that there are Republicans who are horrified and want change for their party.

The ones who have seemed better were not. Rowland? Rell (who knowingly and deliberately left billions in debt behind her charming little smile)? Almost all of the "honorable" Republicans speak only in hushed tones in private or are silent. Dr. King was spot on about the silence of our friends.

Agreed. Lamont only won by 3%. Something like 120 towns voted for Wretched Bob.
