(31,828 posts)I think that PAC has more money than they let on. It's Huntsman's and Manchin carries water for him.
Rand Paul wins the nomination - he's going to turn off a lot of centrist Republicans. They go Huntsman/Manchin. Huntsman/Manchin could pick off the white male working class vote on the left.
Just a theory - but my Libertarian Town Councilman - in a mostly blue borough who is pretty well respected . . . he's chomping at the bit for a Huntsman Candidacy.
We do No Labels in our community. Just our borough - there are four of us. Funny what happens when you strip it all away and move forward on rebuilding a small town.
We can't fix Washington - they are absolutely worthless. Trenton NJ is even worse - they suuuuuuuuck. But we can fix our own backyards. If I have to partner with a Libertarian, Green, and Republican as a Democratic Party member to address the heroin in our school system, the militarized state police presence in our town last Tuesday over a $1300 coke bust, getting the 'White History Month Sign' guys business shut down by voting with our wallets, and making the History Walk a reality -

I don't know precisely how it will translate at the National Level - or even a State Level - but in small towns - it works to put all of the preconceived notions aside and work with our neighbors. We have no choice.
The Governors and Federal Elects have zero desire to help us.
