It wasn't a meltdown. It was classic Porter. Fed up with bs. MerryBlooms Oct 2025 #23

Call it what you want. It's not what I want in a governor. tinrobot Oct 2025 #24

Sorry for the late reply. I respect your opinion, and get it MerryBlooms Oct 2025 #25

Katie should have kept her House seat... Wounded Bear Oct 2025 #2

I think she'd make a great governor. And what qualifies her ambition as being "unreasonable?" Scrivener7 Oct 2025 #8

Because she hadn't served in the House long enough to really build up statewide support...nt Wounded Bear Oct 2025 #11

Who have I heard that said about before ... ? Hmmmmm .... Scrivener7 Oct 2025 #12

Just say it. Obama was "inexperienced" tinrobot Oct 2025 #59

She's a woman Cirsium Oct 2025 #39

Crypto bros hate her enough to spend 10 mil against her last time SunImp Oct 2025 #9
