So many of our local races here are between a Republican and some combo of Libertarian/Constitutionalist/Independent. Dems often don't run because they view a campaign as a money pit with no state party assistance.

Does not having a Dem run in these races make them devious and dishonest?

They are probably not running a candidate because they do not want to let the repug win by way of a split in the left-leaning vote.

I saw him on the view the other day and it brought back to me what a lying, disgusting, gross and deplorable person he is. I hope he rots in hell someday soon.
