Delaware Stonewall (Not) Democrats Endorsements Eagerly Awaited

After an "in the dark of night" change in their bylaws which allowed an endorsement of Trump supporting Republican, Mike Ramone, in 2018 the Delaware Stonewall (not) Democrats endorsement process has come under more scrutiny this year. While Mike Ramone has recently broken with Trump privately, [by some accounts calling him a piece of shit] he has not publicly renounced the impeached President who is openly in contempt of LGBT Americans. According to the PAC's Political Vice-President, Mitch Crane, a public break with Trump has been considered a requirement for a 2020 endorsement from Stonewall. It isn't clear now if a private, behind closed doors, refutation of Trump will suffice for Stonewall to re-endorse the execrable Trump supporter who is facing a tough challenge from Stephanie Barry again this year. What is clear is the fact that the "wait and see" dynamic has created some drama around the endorsement in a year in which Trump and his enablers are roundly hated by a large majority of Delaware voters.

Would it be news if a Republican State Rep Publicly Called Trump A Piece of Shit?

Apparently Mike Ramone is going around trashing the President in private, but, to my knowledge, he has yet to call Trump a low life piece of shit in public. Ramone is trying to have it both ways. Facing a tough challenger in Stephanie Barry and trying to snag the Stonewall PAC endorsement - Ramone is apparently trashing Trump to Democrats in private. It is an especially dickish move from Ramone. What the country need like now is people like Ramone coming out in public and telling the truth about the President. Everything else is tacit support.

Delaware News Guild & Biden Blackout

REV talks with Natalia Alamdari about local news coverage of the Reade story on his podcast. I'm not buying into the Reade story, so I suppose I am taking part in the "stonewalling". I will say this though. Biden is definitely guilty of being an old white guy.
