(57,349 posts)Vermont has a long history of eccentric politicians but my home state doesn't usually take kindly to hate filled bigots. Negative campaigns tend to backfire in Vermont, just ask Richard Tarrant who spent millions of his own money in 2006 trying to defeat Bernie by flooding the airwaves with ads right out of Karl Rove's playbook and then lost by a whopping 33%. It's estimated he spent $85 for each vote he received and he still failed miserably, so even if outsiders are dumb enough to send this grifter millions he doesn't stand a chance of unseating the most popular senator in the country.
It'll be fun to watch Svitavsky deal with reporters' questions about his nutty comments and bigotry since he refuses to address them on social media. Almost as much fun as watching his supporters try to defend them.
Like referring to his bigotry as "quirky". Who does that? Or accusing people who post the man's own words of "attacking" him. And pretending responding to queries is obsessing.
It's funny, you would think they'd be happy to find out none of those screenshots were actually "edited, truncated and taken deliberately out of context". They asked for proof and now they have it.
You're welcome, Svitavsky fans! Enjoy your candidate! We certainly are.
