Nordone’s vote for “slaughter sister” Katrina Shealy should disqualify her if nothing else.

So Ford is represented by a left wing liberal. Additionally Judge Coble needs to peruse the State Law and he would realize that the legislature gave political parties carte Blanche on who can be on the ballots.

That Hutto (or some other Democrat) is representing him is not surprising. He needs an attorney with some clout. Any attorney who is an elected Republican would have a conflict of interest. Plus, Hutto probably took the case pro bono just to screw with the GOP.

This is beautiful. Ford has more intestinal fortitude than I thought in my comment to a previous article.

It is likely Drew’s rigging isn’t restricted to this one issue in this one race.

There is a candidate stump session tomorrow. Will be interesting to see if Ford shows up and further if he’s allowed to participate or is asked to leave the venue.

I applaud Mr. Ford’s actions – it needs to be an even playing field. Although he doesn’t appear (at this stage, anyway) that his chances of making a run-off are too great – he could well be the “spoiler” who upsets the GOP apple cart by taking away votes from candidates who are currently favored to be in it… and that upsets the GOPers.

Darline Nordone is a manchurian candidate. They must think we’re stupid.
Trump and GOP are frankly embarassing themselves. She needs to drop out and they need to apologize.
3 x Trump voter.
