53. Donnelly ran against a man who called rape a blessing from God

Oct 2020

I know there are some who disagree and I respect their point of view but I believe that life begins at conception. The only exception I have to have an abortion is in that case of the life of the mother. I just struggled with it myself for a long time but I came to realize: Life is that gift from God that I think even if life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.[90]

And Murdock also opposed the auto bailout which was a huge boon to Indiana.

that is the one and only reason he won. He also was against abortion, against marriage equality, and a very conservative Democrat. Oh and Murdock the candidate he beat, beat Pete when Pete ran for treasurer against him. Though to be fair, Pete out performed other statewide Democratic candidates that year (2010).

2020 hasn't ended yet. Pimping Pete 2024 seems gauche under the circumstances. JanMichael Oct 2020 #55

Yet you chimed in to scream foul against Buttigieg and "pimp" (your words) Harris Yeehah Oct 2020 #57

No pimping a 2024 candidate in 2020 is what I don't like. The primaries are over. JanMichael Oct 2020 #58

If Biden does not seek reelection, I fully expect there will be a competitive Democratic primary. tritsofme Oct 2020 #49

He should run for a state-wide office or a House or Senate seat first. SharonClark Oct 2020 #24

He can't win anything state-wide in Indiana n/t moonscape Oct 2020 #26

Which makes me wonder, why the hell does he even live in Indiana? smirkymonkey Oct 2020 #37

Because he grew up there Crepuscular Oct 2020 #42
