Clock Running Out and No Debates

       Looks like no debates in either party prior to the NY 21 primaries in June…Both Anthony Constantino and Blake Gendebien have challengers for the nomination and both have declined debate invites.

       Media likes debates as they are easy to cover but frontrunners see debates as nothing to gain and everything to lose.   Plus no debates denies underfunded challengers the chance for earned media also known as free media.

It amazes me you are supporting a tool like Tony over a candidate who’s far more qualified and from your own backyard. Trump over party over qualifications. Cuz it’s a cult, folks.

I see Tonie horned in on Elise's book signing for an awkward photo op. Could the guy be any more pathetic?

But it is good to see our former congresswoman out in public. Too bad she never came to Watertown when she was supposedly representing us.

Chunky style!

It’s ironic that North Korea actually has nuclear weapons but Trump has taken no actions against them.

Please, tell me why?

Have to hand it to Anthony! He got the money shot with Stefanik at her book signing shaking hands. It’s the most professional and presentable we have seen of
Anthony as yet. He needs to drop the rapper crap, albums and always dress accordingly. Never appear in public with rip tight jeans.

Not surprising that Tony wouldn't want to debate. He's a coward.

Tony should have been a jockey. He’s tiny looking in his photos.

Endorsement from Stefanik matters. Jake Gendebein is a Democrat Socialist commie himself, he just can’t say it out loud.

You always see photo’s people take and post online of Ivanna’s grave at the Trump golf course that’s all overgrown and neglected. Do you think any of those dopey kids ever visit it on Mother’s Day?

Because once they HAVE nukes they can nuke things, ya commie terrorist Hamas retard.

Other than to get in line to piss on YOUR grave, would anyone visit a grave? To hug the grave marker monument?

Media loves “debates” because they see it as an opportunity to promote the Democrat.

Yet, Else never said a thing about trump's Commie ways, 8:48. Nor did you.

How come, pal? 🤔

Republicants hate debates because they see it as exposing how stupid their candidates are.

Why would you be amazed? Jeff has often latched onto emerging candidates. Though always after they've started to gain traction.

See Elise for the biggest example.

Jeff began supporting Elise before anyone knew her name. And rightfully so. She is by far the best rep ever seen in this area.
Though Jeff didn’t do his due diligence and ensure she really did attend Harvard and graduate. Fortunately, he had our local left-wing lunatic newspaper to do that for him. Interesting… If that happened today, no one would read it.

Photographs of the sticker guy strike me as weird, something ain't right about that boy.

She was busy in Washington, DC, doing the people's business and representing us. She was a top Republican leader in Congress and had multiple of duties. Give Elise a break! She is a wonderful person.

I, for one, do not like Democrat Socialists. They are usually working against our patriotic values.

9:03, do you find Trump’s blue hands and scaly scabs on his neck as attractive as I do?

He likes to be different to stand out. But he ends up looking like a teenage girl with a bunch of posters of heartthrobs on her wall.

No he did not, 9:56.

What is your favorite bill that Elise introduced, 10:31?

Per what poll, 11:57?

GrayHouse? The Republican pollster that Tonie paid for? 🤣🤣🤣

I don’t know but you think Smullen must have problems himself if Rep Stefanik didn’t endorse him. I’m a betting man and I’m putting money on Stickers Anthony. Talk is rampant that Stefanik has axes to grind whether it be Cox, Blakemen, the county chairs on the island. One day we will get the lowdown. One thing for sure and everyone knows she has a bunch of money she won’t foolishly donate to the NYS wannabes because that is what everyone is talking about.

But you like trump purchasing 10% of Intel with taxpayer monies though, right 10:34?

I can practically tell what religion he is they're so damn tight! Rather sloppy dresser for a supposed multi-millionaire, eh? 🤔

If you think he is tiny in that photo, check out the one with Trump. Must be about a foot shorter. Couldn’t find out for sure from his boxing record, since it is minimal and all in Mexico, but likely he fought as a lightweight or welterweight. Ironic since that is where he fits in as a politician.

4:17 GrayHouse

Having no debates only hurts Smullen. Know one knows Smullen, who does no traveling and introduce himself to the voters. Pretty much like the wannabe running for Kathy’s job. What a stain on the party as a whole, no money, neither can raise any money to fund campaigns and both are so unexceitable and lack charisma for people to actually want to actually go out and vote for either. Just an all around debacle.

Wow, you’re amazed? That’s too bad. Must be exhausting finding everything this surprising.

The picture with Tony and stepanick is hilarious. Is he 5 foot 2? And she has Laura Engles dress on, or half pint, whatever, from little house on the prairie.

She introduced the Bill Owens to retirement.

Truthbout said...

9:35 Early support for the “tyro” Stefanlk was one of Mr. Mayor’s better political calls. Not only did she flip the district in her initial race, but helped turn NY21 into a solidly red district, and won future races by increasing margins. She rose to a senior leadership position in Congress - a first for a NNY representative, but went from a moderate GOP member to an outright MAGA position leading the defense of President Trump in his impeachment proceedings. This helped her career in Congress in the short run, and she rose to national recognition - then Trump cut the legs from underneath her by withdrawing her nomination for UN representative, and then encouraging opposition to her campaign for the GOP nomination for Governor.
Will be interesting to see whether she endorses in the NY21 race and for Governor. She may just sit things out for now. Still has name recognition and millions in campaign funds.

Really, 7:23? That's funny...

Because I distinctly remember being in the congressman's office when he stated his plan to retire mid 2012.

You know what else I remember? You not being there.

Smullen was on the lies at five and the orange licking host was very rude to him.He is such a biased bigot can't stand to hear his rambling bi polar personality spreading hate anymore.Levin needs to wake up and grow a set or hire a manager that has a set.

As usual you're wrong, TB.

Jeff originally mocked Stefanik's run openly on the air and predicted her getting destroyed.

Anonymous said...

None, 4:14. Due to Elise never introducing any that I know of.

All piggybacked legislation introduced by others.

So much for her fresh, new ideas, eh?
