delawareliberal--2020-08-25--DL’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2020–Part 5: The Statewides

DL ’ s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2020–Part 5 : The Statewides Insurance Commissioner ( D Primary ) : Trinidad Navarro vs. Kayode Abegunde .
There are circumstances under which I could be persuaded to consider someone other than Navarro for this office .
This is not one of those circumstances .
Abegunde ’ s campaign , such as it is , has all the earmarks of a vanity campaign .
He hasn ’ t really engaged in a debate over Navarro ’ s stewardship and how he would change things .
Governor ( R Primary ) : The Six-Way–Bonini @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Richardson vs. Walker .
The sheer comedic value of a six-way primary to lose to John Carney is not lost on me .
Someone will win this pointless race .
The endorsed candidate is Julianne Murray , whose claim to the nomination is that she is suing Carney on behalf of her husband for infringing on his right to place his business ’ patrons in danger .
She could win , but I ’ m betting on someone who has already won a statewide R primary .
That ’ s right , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also predict that Bonini will have a poor showing , and that his senate seat will be in danger in two years–as long as McBride and Poore don ’ t run interference for him like they did last time .
Governor ( D Primary ) : John Carney vs. David Williams .
A vote for Williams is a protest vote in a primary that is not really a contest .
I ’ m voting for him .
Representative In Congress ( R Primary ) : Matthew Morris vs. Lee Murphy .
Since Murphy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a primary , as Scott Walker has proven .
However , even by R standards , Morris is a candidate living in his own Private Idaho Of Grievance , and I expect Murphy to finally prevail .
A note : Murphy , Morris and Rochester all live within about five miles of each other in a Claymont to Bellefonte window .
Hey , I can ’ t manufacture intrigue where little exists .
US Senator ( R Primary ) : Jim DeMartino vs. Lauren Witzke .
For what it ’ s worth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the endorsed candidate and is arguably slightly less wacko than Witzke .
But I betcha that those lower slower mouth-breathers find Witzke to be ‘ hot ’ , hot enough for them to vote for her .
History is on her side ( *cough , Christine O ’ Donnell , cough* ) .
US Senator ( D Primary ) : Chris Coons vs. Jess Scarane .
Perhaps no campaign in Delaware has been challenged more by the pandemic and by last week ’ s Democratic convention than Scarane ’ s .
She has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ established herself as a viable alternative to Coons .
It will be tough , though , to overcome the twin blows of the pandemic , which made it more difficult to run a statewide insurgent campaign , and the convention , where Coons , like Zelig , made sure he appeared in every picture .
And now he ’ s got those TV commercials , which had to have been made by whoever did LBR ’ s 2016 ads , right down to that ‘ Chris gets it ’ .
I ’ m @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wins .
However , if she doesn ’ t , I hope that this is just the beginning of her political career .
Delaware needs more Jess Scaranes .

Insurance Commissioner (D Primary): Trinidad Navarro vs. Kayode Abegunde. There are circumstances under which I could be persuaded to consider someone other than Navarro for this office. This is not one of those circumstances. Abegunde’s campaign, such as it is, has all the earmarks of a vanity campaign. He hasn’t really engaged in a debate over Navarro’s stewardship and how he would change things.
Governor (R Primary): The Six-Way–Bonini vs. Bosco vs. Graham vs. Murray vs. Richardson vs. Walker. The sheer comedic value of a six-way primary to lose to John Carney is not lost on me. Someone will win this pointless race. The endorsed candidate is Julianne Murray, whose claim to the nomination is that she is suing Carney on behalf of her husband for infringing on his right to place his business’ patrons in danger. She could win, but I’m betting on someone who has already won a statewide R primary. That’s right, the Driftwood Grifter, Scott Walker. I also predict that Bonini will have a poor showing, and that his senate seat will be in danger in two years–as long as McBride and Poore don’t run interference for him like they did last time.
Governor (D Primary): John Carney vs. David Williams. A vote for Williams is a protest vote in a primary that is not really a contest. I’m voting for him.
Representative In Congress (R Primary): Matthew Morris vs. Lee Murphy. Since Murphy stands for nothing, he is vulnerable in a primary, as Scott Walker has proven. However, even by R standards, Morris is a candidate living in his own Private Idaho Of Grievance, and I expect Murphy to finally prevail. A note: Murphy, Morris and Rochester all live within about five miles of each other in a Claymont to Bellefonte window. Hey, I can’t manufacture intrigue where little exists.
US Senator (R Primary): Jim DeMartino vs. Lauren Witzke. For what it’s worth (literally nothing), DeMartino is the endorsed candidate and is arguably slightly less wacko than Witzke. But I betcha that those lower slower mouth-breathers find Witzke to be ‘hot’, hot enough for them to vote for her. History is on her side (*cough, Christine O’Donnell, cough*).
US Senator (D Primary): Chris Coons vs. Jess Scarane. Perhaps no campaign in Delaware has been challenged more by the pandemic and by last week’s Democratic convention than Scarane’s. She has run a superb grassroots campaign and has established herself as a viable alternative to Coons. It will be tough, though, to overcome the twin blows of the pandemic, which made it more difficult to run a statewide insurgent campaign, and the convention, where Coons, like Zelig, made sure he appeared in every picture. And now he’s got those TV commercials, which had to have been made by whoever did LBR’s 2016 ads, right down to that ‘Chris gets it’. I’m rooting for Jess and I hope she wins. However, if she doesn’t, I hope that this is just the beginning of her political career. Delaware needs more Jess Scaranes.

The title phrase was the headline of an article in the NRA magazine The American Rifleman belonging to George Martin that John Lennon found laying around the Abbey Road studios. Lennon said he reaction was immediate. “I just thought it was a fantastic, insane thing to say. A warm gun means you just shot something.” The article’s title was a repugnant takeoff on Charles Schulz’ “Happiness Is a Warm Puppy.”
This was one of the last truly collaborative efforts in the Beatles’ catalog. Many of the lyrical phrases were contributed by publicist Derek Taylor, George Harrison helped the band through the time-signature changes, and Martin stitched the song together from the 70 takes they recorded. All four Beatles named it as their favorite song on the White Album.

We can guess why — Jess is a values-driven , clear-eyed opponent .
You know what she stands for , and so does Coons : Medicare for All , a Green New Deal and a Homes Guarantee .
She will fight for a coronavirus relief package that protects our most vulnerable , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has revealed our country ’ s deep-seated , systemic problems .
Jess is the only one in this race with the courage to face these challenges head-on .
Here ’ s her plan : Reinstate the $ 2,000 relief package , ensuring that every person gets a check each month .
Ensure all essential workers get hazard pay .
Cancel all student debt .
Place an immediate moratorium on evictions .
Typically , Jess would get to share this plan during a debate .
But because Coons won ’ t agree to one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voters like us to know that Jess is on our side .
That ’ s why we need to make sure that every Democrat hears directly from our team .
If Coons is too scared to debate , we ’ ll bring our vision straight to voters .

Coons is trying to sit on a big money lead and run out the clock. That’s just pitiful.
This week, WHYY reached out to Chris Coons again, asking him to debate Jess. And again, Coons refused to comment.
We can guess why — Jess is a values-driven, clear-eyed opponent. You know what she stands for, and so does Coons: Medicare for All, a Green New Deal and a Homes Guarantee. She will fight for a coronavirus relief package that protects our most vulnerable, and benefits all of us.
The pandemic has revealed our country’s deep-seated, systemic problems. Jess is the only one in this race with the courage to face these challenges head-on. Here’s her plan:
Reinstate the $2,000 relief package, ensuring that every person gets a check each month.
Ensure all essential workers get hazard pay.
Cancel all student debt.
Place an immediate moratorium on evictions.
Typically, Jess would get to share this plan during a debate. But because Coons won’t agree to one. He doesn’t want working-class voters like us to know that Jess is on our side. That’s why we need to make sure that every Democrat hears directly from our team. If Coons is too scared to debate, we’ll bring our vision straight to voters.

Remember when this Scottish band hit the shores of our much bigger country? MTV was young and this video was in heavy rotation, boosting the song to No. 3 on the rock chart and No. 17 on the Hot 100. Guitarists Bruce Watson and group founder Stuart Adamson got their guitars to sound like bagpipes with a distortion pedal, and wore tartan shirts to emphasize their roots.
I always preferred the longer album version myself.
Only their first LP sold well in the US, but they had a longer run in the UK. They faltered in the ’90s and gave their farewell concerts in 2000. Adamson had moved to Hawaii by then, but after a decade of sobriety he fell off the wagon after the band’s final shows. After being reported missing in late November 2001, he was found two weeks later, dead by suicide, in a Honolulu hotel room.

Ed Sanford and Johnny Townsend were both keyboard players from Alabama who had a band called Heart, predating the Wilson sisters’ band of that name, that received a recording contract and opened for Jimi Hendrix before calling it quits.

They went back to Muscle Shoals to record their first LP, and struck gold with the help of legendary producer Jerry Wexler.
They wrote this song with Sanford’s roommate, an aspiring classical guitarist who kept Sanford awake with his practicing. One morning when Townsend was visiting, a sleepy Sanford said to his roommate, “When are you gonna stop wasting your time on that classical crap and write something that will make you some money?” The roommate responded by playing the riff that became the basis for “Smoke” and said, “Anybody can write that crap.” Townsend told him, “Apparently you just did,” and the three worked out the rest of the tune on the piano.

John Viola Tries To ‘ Pull A DeLuca ’ .

Both were products of the construction trade power brokers .

They were installed in those jobs by Ruth Ann Minner and Mark Brainard , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tom Sharp , of all people , as Secretary of Labor .
All three shared the racial enmity which is the stock-and-trade of the ‘ skilled ’ construction trades .
DeLuca and Viola did their job to Sharp ’ s specs–toss any civil rights complaints in the trash .
Only one of about 200 complaints was even investigated .
Someone apparently taught Viola how to use the shredding machine , and all of the other complaints were fed into it .
Let ’ s fast-forward to 2012 .
Bryan Townsend is primarying the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the election , and DeLuca finds himself in a real race .

But , I digress .
We all know how that race turned out .
Do you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are in 2020 .
Viola , who has long been neglectful to his constituents , finds himself in a real race against Madinah Wilson-Anton .

Kids, I want you to consider the twin fates of ‘Tiny Tony’ DeLuca and John ‘Third Chair’ Viola. Both were products of the construction trade power brokers. Both got jobs in the Department of Labor, jobs for which neither was qualified. Tony was ‘in charge’ of labor law enforcement, and Viola was his go-fer. They were installed in those jobs by Ruth Ann Minner and Mark Brainard, right around the time that Minner/Brainard named Tom Sharp, of all people, as Secretary of Labor. All three shared the racial enmity which is the stock-and-trade of the ‘skilled’ construction trades. DeLuca and Viola did their job to Sharp’s specs–toss any civil rights complaints in the trash. Only one of about 200 complaints was even investigated. Someone apparently taught Viola how to use the shredding machine, and all of the other complaints were fed into it.
Let’s fast-forward to 2012. Bryan Townsend is primarying the Mini-Martinet. It’s getting close to the election, and DeLuca finds himself in a real race. So DeLuca tosses out the claim that Townsend is living with mumsy and daddy for political gain (he and his wife were saving up to buy a house.) DeLuca neglected to mention that he had been thrown out of his house by his then-wife, and was shacked up in a townhouse with his ‘assistant’ at the time. But, I digress. We all know how that race turned out. Do you remember, Tony?
So here we are in 2020. Viola, who has long been neglectful to his constituents, finds himself in a real race against Madinah Wilson-Anton. So what does he do? He tosses out a charge that Wilson-Anton hasn’t paid property taxes. Pretty pathetic stuff, even without context. The context?
Wilmington, DE: In response to comments made by Representative John Viola regarding her history of paying property taxes, Madinah Wilson-Anton, Working Families Party endorsed candidate for state representative in District 26, released the following statement: “I was recently told by a voter that my opponent, Representative John Viola, called them and said to them that I have never lived by myself or paid property taxes, which was a reason not to vote for me. This is not the first time I’ve heard such attacks. In past elections, it was used against our current state senator before he moved out of his parent’s house. In this election, supporters of Representative Viola and even other voters that he has spoken to have parroted these same lines. Given the prevalence of this argument, I decided it was worth a response. In 2018, my parents were close to losing their house. My husband and I moved in to help. Like so many other Delawareans struggling to get by, family is our only safety net. While I don’t own the home I live in; I am a contributing member of our household. In fact, I pay half of the property taxes in a household of six people. That’s because my situation is hardly unique. Over 40% of the 26th district residents rent their homes or live in manufactured housing. Even more are in their 20s or 30s and live with their parents either as caregivers or because they’re trapped in debt or a low-paying job. Not to mention the hundreds of black and immigrant families in the district that live in multi-generational homes as a matter of culture. I think those people deserve a voice too.

Now more than ever, we need to be talking about solutions to this crisis, rather than shaming those just trying to get by. That’s why I’m running for state representative. Our campaign centers the issues so many people in the district are dealing with, issues I know all too well.”
I want you to take in the totality of what Viola tried to do here. He was gifted a job burying civil rights complaints. As a result, he has been gifted a second state pension that he doesn’t deserve. Of all the people to throw shade, this undistinguished back-bencher who got a job fighting against legitimate civil rights claims has the nerve to attack someone for helping their family? Kinda ironic for someone who got his equally-unqualified daughter a legislative job, which led to a legislative marriage, which led to… He was always useless.

MASSACHUSETTS — Sen. Ed Markey has done what no Massachusetts politician has done before: Defeat a Kennedy. Markey survived a fierce challenge by Rep. Joe Kennedy in the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate. Kennedy called Markey to concede the race around 10 p.m.
The victory sets up Markey, 74, to retain his seat following an unexpected challenge that turned contentious down the stretch.

Now that Antifa’s secret weapon, soup, has been uncovered by ace detective Donald Trump, it’s time to reveal where we got the idea: from Bowling for Soup, the Texas-based band that hit its peak in the early ’00s with “Girl All the Bad Guys Want” and this pop-punk sendup of the music of their childhood years.

Bailing out banks not people is a recipe for economic calamity.
At some point, debts that can’t be paid will not be paid.
Hudson’s oft-repeated golden rule is “Debts that can’t be paid, won’t be paid.” That is to say: making it harder to declare bankruptcy, or binding debtors over to arbitration or wage-garnishing won’t actually get them to pay debts they cannot afford.
This is a very sharp observation in the US context. The 2008 crisis was “solved” by bailing out finance, not people – and so the finance sector was able to lend to consumers to buy things again, while consumer debt mounted to spectacular levels.
Between mounting costs for housing, education, transport and health – a place to sleep, a path to employment, a way to get to work, the physical capacity to do your job – being alive has meant increasing your debt burden.

Democrats already have evidence of how crucial the data can be. When party officials did a test run of their system last year for the Kentucky governor’s race, three weeks before the election, the data exchange produced a list of 14,483 voters who supported Andy Beshear, the Democratic candidate, that the Kentucky Democratic Party did not already have in its own voter database. The party went on to contact them all, said Mary Nishimuta, the executive director of the Kentucky Democrats, and 9,587 of them voted. Mr. Beshear won the election by 5,086 votes.
