New Ohio Governor poll shows Cordray leading Pro-Trump Democrat Dennis Kucinich 28% - 13%

Moral of the story: whether you’re running for governor, senator, representative, or anything, do not run as a Trump lover if you want to win a Democratic race.

Another recent poll had them tied. Looks like the undecideds are breaking for Cordray upon knowing more about Kucinich

This is another example of why the Dems need to become more responsible as to who runs under the Dem banner. I'm not sure exactly what legal steps could/can be taken but at the very least we can vet and stop supporting candidates wearing Dem masks, do a really good publicity campaign letting people know who such people are and finally, all out support for good Dem candidates.

I mean, they're obviously following the rule of law and going after Trump. But I can't say I'm entirely invested in rooting for them. Let's not forget that we are in this mess because Comey wanted to sabotage Clinton, because he thought she was certain to win the election. He wanted there to be a weak president in the Oval Office. Wish granted, asshole.

Kucinich might be going overboard there a bit, but I would suggest that we should be rooting for Mueller to take down Trump the same way FDR was rooting for Stalin to take down Hitler. At the end of the day, we will find out that are allies may have radically different interests than us

DK is a Putinite, who at one time called for Obama to be impeached. He’s 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag. I’ll take Mueller both from a personal standpoint and an ethics standpoint over DK seven days a week and twice on Sunday.

Talk about someone who needs to go somewhere, sit down and STFU. Kucinich is Exhibit A.

Sung to the tune of "Popeye The Sailor Man"

Dennis the Congressman (Popeye the Sailor man)

I’m Dennis the Congress-man, I’m Dennis the Congressman
I eat lots of spinach and my name’s Kucinich
I’m Dennis the Congressman

I’m Dennis the Congress-man! I’m not just an “also-ran”
I say without blinking what everyone’s thinking
But no one else dares or can

Iraq was a big mistake. That is my big point to make.
They used false persuasion to launch an invasion.
The people deserve a break!

I’m liberal as can be. I’m reading philosophy.
You’ll see what you’re missin’ if only you’ll listen.
I won’t make you hug a tree.

I’m Dennis the Congress-man, I’m Dennis the Congressman
I eat lots of spinach and my name’s Kucinich
I’m Dennis the Congressman. (Well, blow me down!)

He will be the nominee (and an excellent one!).

Now we have to figure out what to do about DeWine. There has to be some dirt out there on him. Some enterprising reporters need to go find it.

Rich’s running mate served Ohio in US Congress and was a victim of the ridiculous gerrymandering. She is a real boost to that ticket. Go Cordray-Sutton!

Though, I think believing in aliens instead of believing Trump is a good president is far more admirable. Stick with the aliens Dennis.

He's always been in that bizarre Infowars-Left region of American politics that some greens and Naderites and left-Trumpers inhabit. His "Department of Peace" stuff during the 2004 primary sounded like a caricature of a liberal written by a Fox News pundit. And sure enough, where did he go when he needed some of those juicy capitalist dollars? Fox News.

they clearly are a socially conservative left, a revival of the old-left that existed before the new left social liberal movements of the 60's-present.

its why they so easily identify with Trump/Putin and their nationalist populism.

He's a good man. I used to think the same of Kucinich but then he fell on his head, or something.
