Donald Rainwater for Governor

[KMaC]

Think it can't get worse if Myers wins because of Republican split vote?
Fox 59 covid report says Democrat candidate Woody Myers said if he were Governor we would still be in Stage III or IV and that the mask mandate is worthless because there is no penalty.
If he wins he will crush the economy sending us back to Stage III, closing bars, gyms, no sporting events, offices and stores 50% capacity. If we had been in Stage III since May there would be no economy left.
And he will try to get a legal authority to fine/arrest mask violators.

Good. And he'll get *****-slapped by the courts, just like the rest of the tyrannical governors who have tried it. And that will put an end to tyrannical mask/closure/quarantine mandates.

I would add that this happens after it has caused a lot of damage.

Edit: this was meant to go with Chip response, phone is acting up and won't quote

The courts will deny the authority to fine for masks so he will lobby the legislature to pass a law, probably unsuccessfully but these are strange times.
But he can order Stage III restrictions and choke the economy into socialist nirvana. Doesn't the Covid restrictions fall within the Governor's emergency powers? If not, why hasn't anyone sued yet? (Except for the 3 bar owners that sued Indianapolis in August and haven't gotten relief yet).

OK thats it **** him and **** Mayor Hogg****.

Our household is done with Holcomb, 2 more votes for DR.. These mandates don’t hurt them just the commoners.

 

[Ark]

Holcomb raised taxes.
Holcomb killed constitutional carry.
Holcomb gutted RFRA.

What's that about losing more of our rights?

Yup. Fear of a Democratic governor doesn't carry much weight when we have one already.

HOLCOMB EXTENDS MASK ORDER AS ISDH CHIEF TESTS POSITIVE

...Governor Holcomb is extending Indiana’s mask mandate, but won’t reimpose restrictions on restaurants and bars.

There are more Hoosiers in the hospital with coronavirus than at any time since mid-May, and Indiana’s five highest one-day totals for new cases have all come in the last week...

This number includes same-day admissions/discharges. There appears to be no increase in actual hospital-bed usage, that I have seen.

I have never voted for a libertarian in my life although I agree with much of everything they believe in I will definitely be voting for Donald Rainwater for governor this year

 

[BugI02]

Any recent polling on a three-way race or Holcomb and Rainwater head to head?

 

[bwframe]

Holcomb maintains significant cash advantage in governor’s race

If you don't deserve to be in office, you can always buy your way in.

Seems to prove on its face that mask mandates are bunk.

He is making it obvious he is pandering to the weak minded mask pushers and trying to let something survive in the madness. And as always he is failing.

 

[mydoghasfleas]

I don't vote to keep someone out of office, that's a trap they keep us in.
I'm voting on the offensive.

 

[jamil]

I vote for body odor. That's pretty offensive.

 

[CindyE]

I want to vote for Rainwater, but I'm undecided. Guess that's why I haven't voted yet. Not happy with Holcomb at all.

Same here!

 

[maxipum]

I’ll be casting my vote for Rainwater. The very definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result. It won’t fix itself.

 

[d.kaufman]

Went to our NWI meet and shoot Saturday which is about an hour drive. Seen more Rainwater signs than Holcomb signs. Actually surprised me because it doesn't seem like anyone I've talked to up here has heard of him.
