Delaware is Solidly Blue, So Why is Coons Running as Republican-Lite?
Coons has built a brand ID in the Senate as the GOP’s favorite Democrat. That makes no sense when you look at the state that he was elected to represent.
538.com’s “Partisan Lean” is the average difference between how a state voted and how the country voted overall. Delaware is 13% more Democratic than the country as a whole. I honestly don’t understand what Coons is going for whoth his Republican-lite brand building.
You could ask the same question of Beto O’Rourke. Not in the Senate campaign. As an elected Rep. His district is progressive a.k.a. ‘solid blue’.
How much is the Beto clan worth? What’s Senator Coons’ economic station?
Probably a total coincidence.
perhaps.
Show me an election that proves an elected who puts left leaning issues first is what Delaware wants? It’s like you all have never seen a statewide poll. I agree with you all that the time for progressive policies is coming, but it’s not here just yet. Until it is you’re not going to see an out an out progressive agenda from people who need to get elected statewide.
Here is plenty of evidence.

Re Coons, there is this in my in box from Demand Justice.
This should be its own post.
On this alone, Coons should face a primary from an actual Democrat.
He should report for work with a “kick me” sign on his back.
I know, right. I don’t undertsand what he thinks he is doing. He isn’t building up good will among Republicans, they just think he is a patsy.
