Where is Geoff Diehl whenever you want him?
No, he is not going to be operating for the U.S. Senate towards progressive Democrat U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Geoff Diehl did that the final time round and acquired burnt. That was again in 2018 when Diehl, a Donald Trump conservative Republican, received a GOP major and the appropriate to problem Warren, who was in search of a second time period.
He acquired overwhelmed badly, however he did get 979,210 folks to vote for him. Warren, nonetheless, acquired 1,633, 371.
Undeterred, Diehl remerged 4 years later to problem woke Democrat Maura Healey for governor and once more had his head handed to him. Healey received with 1,584,403 votes to 859,343 for Diehl.
A 3rd Diehl statewide marketing campaign would probably invoke the imaginary political three strikes and also you’re out rule.
So, it appears to be like like no person will problem Warren, a minimum of not within the 2024 Democrat major.
And the Republican Party in Massachusetts is in such powerful form that it is going to be fortunate to discover a candidate of Diehl’s expertise — or insanity — to run towards Warren, who’s in search of a 3rd time period.
Of course, Warren may nonetheless run for president once more if Joe Biden doesn’t, however that’s unlikely. So, Warren will stick round for an additional six years until a re-elected Biden appoints her to his Cabinet.
Still, issues are so dangerous round right here that the Massachusetts GOP should throw within the towel and simply endorse Warren for re-election. It would save folks a variety of money and time.
The Republican Party, sounding like Democrats, may declare that it was endorsing Warren within the identify of inclusion, transparency, accountability and fairness. It may throw in variety and inclusion, too.
Being broke and in debt, the GOP may elevate thousands and thousands from liberal Democrats by claiming it was doing Warren and the Democrats an enormous favor. It may repay its debt and grow to be a type of conservative arm of the Democrat Party
The cash the GOP would elevate might be turned over to Climate Czar John Kerry to assist pay for his non-public jet or donated to Sen. Eddie Markey who’s begging constituents for as little as $3 donations for his Green New Deal agenda con job.
Such largesse would additionally enhance the Republican Party’s picture.
Warren made her re-election announcement in a video during which Markey, 76, the “junior” senator praised Warren, 73, for “making billionaires cry” along with her proposed tax insurance policies.
The irony is right here that Markey and Warren used to assault millionaires, not billionaires. But since each have grow to be millionaires, they’ve excluded millionaires from their GOP assault repertoire and solely go after billionaires. It has to do with inflation.
And talking of Warren’s announcement, it’s fascinating to notice that she eradicated the standard press convention announcement however went straight to a televised video.
That method she shrewdly averted answering questions from the media.
One of the questions may need been why, if she and Markey had been so good at their jobs, they may not wrangle $2 billion out of President Biden to switch the 2 Cape Cod bridges, the sagging Sagamore and the bowing Bourne.
Apparently, her name for “21st century transportation system across all of Massachusetts” doesn’t embody the Cape, not to mention the MBTA.
Nevertheless, an endorsement from the GOP would go far to formally proclaim Massachusetts a one-party state, just like the Communist People’s Republic of China.
The thought will not be as far-fetched because it may appear. Warren, in any case, along with being a former Cherokee, can be a former Republican, who at one time was as conservative as Geoff Diehl.
Before her conversion, she was a registered Republican from 1991 to 1996 and later turned Democrat when she grew to become a variety rent at Harvard. Harvard purchased into the ruse that she was a Native American.
So, Warren ought to welcome the GOP endorsement within the identify of unity in addition to for outdated instances stake.
