My property taxes have increased! Although my property is now worth 150k more!

And we’re gonna blame Ned for that!! Even though property taxes are set by the cities and not a direct result of anything the Governor does!

You can't honestly expect the people who vote GOP to understand this, right? It's a bit too much for them to process. They're the same people who blame the president on gas prices.

The Current Republican voters are not the sharpest knives in the drawer and that’s been the key to the whole GOP platform.

Do not get complacent. A big lead can evaporate if everyone assumes it's a done deal, and a lot of other races in the state are much closer than this one.

Lamont is popular. It will be very hard for Stefanowski to beat him. I think the only democrat who could have problems this year is Hayes. But I can’t find any recent polls on her race.

Probably not a good sign for democrats in general

jgjgleason t1_itsw9k7 wrote

To be fair that is only based on the recent shift in GCB polling. I don't think anyone has run a district-level poll in CT-5 for months.

OmegaBean t1_itrmiiv wrote

Any media which is dependent on ad revenue has a vested interest in making the race appear more competitive than it actually is. Not saying it’s a lock for Lamont by any means, but an 11 point edge in a state with a popular governor doesn’t get views.

Bob could have spent all that money on hookers and blow, and instead he spent it on CT media ad buys :D You love to see it

GoOnNoMeatNoPudding t1_itraz9t wrote

Yes. He spent money on ridiculous ads.

“Welcome to Connecticut. That’s what the sign says!”

Can’t forget about that cringe advertisement with his adult aged daughters talking to him on the couch.

evilmonkey002 t1_ittb0sb wrote

As cringe as Bob’s ads are, I’ll take them any day of the week compared to what I’ve seen in other states this cycle. I spent two weeks in Wisconsin and the non-stop deluge of of dishonest, offensive (and honestly racist ads) I saw from Republicans there was stomach turning. Made me realize just how good we have it being forced to watch Bob’s weak and kinda dorky ads.

No, but he’ll siphon votes from unhappy Dems.

Hopefully enough to flip CT to Republican

Maybe but most dems are pretty satisfied with lamont. I understand you have your point of view and you would prefer a Republican governor but I can’t see it happening because of disillusioned democrats voting Republican.

nofishontuesday2 t1_itujefv wrote

I actually don’t have an issue with Lamont. However, I do have a HUGE issue with the Democratic Party as a whole. The Democrats need to cut the cancer out of themselves in order to save themselves from people such as myself who will vote strictly on party lines in order to get them out of power.

Do you feel the same way about the republican party?

“ Cut the cancer out? “ Could you be more specific please?

nofishontuesday2 t1_itumvfe wrote

Yes, it’s quite obvious. It’s called shifting blame. It’s been a Democrat tactic since the party has become this leftist propaganda machine.

LightningBirdsAreGo t1_ituw27p wrote

Please give me a specific example not something equally vague. I’m actually interested in what you’re talking about. What cancer are you referring to? What examples of shifting blame are you referring to? Who is shifting blame? Where is the blame being being shifted to? Where do you think the blame for this specific thing belongs? If you are hoping to convince people you need to be specific. I’m open minded to new info but it can’t be general. Thank you.

Jesus Christ, are you serious?

Just turn on any news source. The January 6th nonsense. The covid crisis, the list hoes on and on over the bullshit that the left projects on the right and center voting people.

I’ve got better things to do than argue this obvious topic.

Hope the weather is good in China. You should go for a walk and clear your mind of the bullshit that’s in it.

My only solace to the rest of the country going insane is that Connecticut is a sanctuary for the sane. Let the rest of it burn, as long as CT doesn’t go bat shit and start electing Trumpanzees, I might survive.

Let it burn? Being the last to burn means we still burn. I say we keep Connecticut and do what we can to push back against the crazys.

Well his opponent whole campaign is all about " at least I'm not a dem" and "vote for me since I'm Republican". Not a lot to be proud of there

FishingNo8650 t1_itsi34y wrote

I'm not a fan of Lamont, but the fact that he's only 11 points ahead of Bob is ridiculous. Every time he opens his mouth it's either to say some bullshit about the police, or to come up with false crime statistics. Bro is a joke.

Contrary to popular belief, CT being a “liberal” state does not mean we are overwhelmingly Democrat. It’s more like 60-40.

Wow! You mean to say he's going to turn us into a state that has a self contained GDP bigger than most countries with a thriving tech sector, high standards of living and a thriving tourist economy? All that and they continue to be a net contributor to federal social security rather than a red state drain?

Amazing! Sign me up!

California use to be the American dream. Now a crime ridden, taxed to death, homeless shelter. Take a look at how many celebrities couldn't take it anymore and left.

gone_p0stal t1_itw9u5l wrote

I mean all of those things are demonstrably true.

The other things that are true are obviously traffic issues and homelessness as well as air quality. Of course in the cities there is also rent affordability and highly inflated land values. That doesn't diminish the fact that cali is an economic epicenter of the United states and produces exorbitant amounts of food and tech that the rest of the country depends on.

Many of the challenges facing California are not California issues but issues endemic to large, sprawling urban metropolises like LA and San Fran. Some are environmental - the mild climate attracts homeless people from seeing the country because the winters are very forgiving. And some issues, like pollution are man made side effects of heavy industry.

I'm not saying we should be California, but there are plenty of laudable things about California. It's insane to me that i even have to make that distinction when the state is so obviously integral to the functional American economy.

AdHistorical7107 t1_itucsda wrote

This reminds me if 2016. And the democrats failures to address this sooner is bothersome to me. GOP has gotten a lot of momentum. Unfortunately their lies and deceit are being absorbed by their followers, and no one is questioning their solutions. In my district, they are pushing on rising crime and parental rights. Yet they have no solutions, but people are biting and getting hooked. It's scary...

nofishontuesday2 t1_ituk1yw wrote

You see, these “lies and deceits” I’m just not seeing. What I am seeing is a bunch of brainwashed supporters screaming things like you’re claiming.

Look at the mess that’s been created by the Dems in only 2 years. I fail to see anything to support the claim of “lies and deceits” that you claim the Republican Party is doing. I do however see it in the Democratic Party.

The propaganda you push is just like Germany did, just like what Russia does and every fascist regime has in history. People are starting to realize this.

Connecticut is definitely the Cali of the east coast. Everyone pretends they love it but in reality it kinda sucks. The left can keep it. It’ll keep them out of a state where their vote might matter.

On the other hand, let’s keep the right in CT too, it’ll keep them out of a state where their vote might also matter. Lol.

Florida Man
