A feisty Mike Protack is entitled to play the feisty Ind Party endorsement any feisty way he wants.
However, I think a better feisty move would to have been a “feisty Republican” and say something like:
“I’m an American first and a Republican second. I’m going to win the Republican nomination and win the general election as a proud Republican. I’m gratified that the Independent party has endorsed my vision for the future and in the weeks ahead I plan to win the support of voters throughout Delaware regardless of their party affiliation.
That would have been feisty.
But nooooooo….
