...then Delaware has yet another gift for you.
We now have an honest-to-goodness white nationalist running for the GOP Senate nomination in Delaware.

Lauren unwittingly participated in the pharmaceutical industries agenda which led to the nationwide opioid addiction crisis. Ironically, she found herself hopelessly addicted as well, and even worked for drug cartel families and illicit organized crime gangs from Detroit.
Where to begin...
https://laurenwitzke.com/platform/
Lauren will re-divert welfare programs, into an incentive program for marriage and children. Married couples with 3 or more children will receive financial stipends. Those who divorce will lose all benefits. These benefits will far surpass any potential child support received after. Single parents who marry will be grand fathered into the program for a period of 10 years, after which the benefit will only be applied for those who marry and have children together. End no fault divorce nationally.

(34,843 posts)Sean Hannity and the Tea Party came in and primaried Congressmen Mike Castle. He was possibly the last moderate republican in the country. The right wingers couldnt stand him. They were so stupid. They didnt know how we do politics in Delaware. For one thing, primaries were a fairly recent development. Usually the parties held conventions. The Delaware republicans expected that Castle would be the nominee to run for Bidens vacated seat. He was popular, a nice guy and very reasonable for a republican. He had won 11 statewide elections, twice for governor, 9 times for Congress. Beau Biden would have been his opponent, but wanted to stay in his job as AG. County Councilman Chris Coons was to be the sacrificial lamb for the Dems. ODonnell was so dumb she tried to debate Coons. We dont like carpetbaggers. So now we have the intelligent, well educated, dedicated Senator Coons. Mike Castle likely would have won that seat. Worked out well for Delaware, but the Republicans have yet to recover. Well have to see what this Witzke can do. Where is she from?
Deep in the heart of Sussex County.

(51,322 posts)Conversations like this will be rampant all over America:
"Hi Julie, it's Mary. Can I trouble you for a small favor?"
'Anything for a friend. What do you need?'
"You know John and I have decided to get a divorce, right?"
'Yeah. But I'm not really sure why.'
"We've just grown apart. No big deal. I mean, he's a really sweet guy and I still love him, but we just don't want to be married anymore."
'Well then, I guess it's for the best. Have you worked out the property settlement and everything?'
"Yes. We're going to sell the house and split up everything else equally."
'Then...what do you need me for?'
"Well, a year ago we would have just gone to the clerk of court and filed some paperwork, paid $150 and waited a week. But thanks to Lauren Witzke and her kinder-kirche-kuche shit, no fault divorce has been abolished. Now we are required to have grounds for divorce before we can proceed. Would it be just slightly possible for you to come over tomorrow night and commit adultery with my husband so we can have something to put on this damned form?"
'Anything for a friend, hon. Eight o'clock be okay?'

(62,444 posts)But people from lower Delaware have a tendency to bloom where they are planted, so to speak.
mr_lebowski
(33,643 posts)+ the age, I suspect that the % likelihood that it's her is relatively high.

(1,102 posts)Senator? Not so much.
I think she is just trying to get Trump's "eye" so she can become a cabinet level secretary or a federal judge or something.
Takket
(22,425 posts)so she's going to punish children if their parents can't make a marriage work? That is some sick sadistic shit right there

Jake Stern
(3,145 posts)From her platform on foreign policy which discusses her view that the military should be
"used strictly for the defense of our nation at home. She will not support meddling in the affairs of foreign nations, and rejects regime change abroad."
As for the rest. . . .uh NO.
