    Nobody’s ever seen anything like this. The closest thing is …uh… in 1917, they say, right? the great pandemic it certainly was a terrible thing where they lost anywhere from 50 to 100 million people. It probable ended the second world war. all the soldiers were sick.

    And Spiros Matzavinos is an unapologetic Kathy McGuiness supporter. And a Democrat, meaning he would be in the majority and therefore can do far more damage than any Republican could.

      We at least could pass some common-sense gun control legislation, something that Delcollo has fought every step of the way.

        Sorry, no sale. Delcollo isn’t the reason it didn’t pass. Democrats are.

          Disagree. Certain D’s and certain R’s are the reason it didn’t pass. If not a single R will support the bills, and if some D’s are in thrall to, or fear of, the NRA, and if you want gun legislation to pass, then the idea is to vote out those who oppose the legislation. That means, among others, Bruce Ennis (in a primary), Dave McBride, Nicole Poore (who didn’t draw an opponent), Delcollo and Cathy Cloutier. Maybe even that Dave Lawson guy, although we don’t know where his D opponent stands on gun control.

    This race is the ass**le Grand Prix! Its a Greek Tragedy or a bad Italian opera. I do not envy the voters of the district!

    The Republican Mafia has done much more damage than the Greek Mafia.

    This is no time to be giving Trump supporters a pass.

      And it’s no time to be giving regressive Democrats a seat at the table.

      I realize this concept is a little harder to process than “Democrats good, Republicans bad.” The salient fact is that we can defeat Delcollo any time, with anybody. Once Matzavinos is in office, good luck getting him out.

      In a one-party state like ours, a bad Democrat is far worse than a garden-variety Republican. REPUBLICANS HAVE NO POWER. Democrats do. Let a snake in the grass like Spiro in and he WILL have access to power.

        Here’s why that’s not the case. Word on the street is that McBride and Poore want to get rid of that senate district during reapportionment and to send another seat downstate. Which will invariably be held by an R. This doesn’t have to happen. With all the population growth in the Middletown and lower NCC area, the ideal plan would be to get rid of a district in Kent County, which has had stagnant growth and to build the NCC districts from the bottom of the county to the top.

        I know it’s inside baseball, but that’s another reason why I want that district to flip.

        So, if we don’t flip it this time, and IF McBride/Poore remain in power, then what’s at worst a swing district will be a solid R district.

          Couple of thoughts here, El Som, only one of them serious.
          If McBride/Poore want to create another seat downstate, could they do it so McBride actually lives in the district he represents?
          Say DelCollo does win (and Alby’s point makes sense), still no reason why they can’t redistrict DelCollo out of a job by moving that seat to the MOT area. Yes, the Rethugs might howl but so what? Elections have consequences.

    If their goal is/was to move another seat to the MOT area, they could do that. Here’s the challenge: While population in Wilmington and suburban NCC (in the north and west) have stagnated, the population in the MOT area have grown. I think that, in order to ensure that all NCC districts held by D’s remain after redistricting, it makes more sense to, starting with Ennis’ Smyrna-area district, and heading north thru Hansen’s and Poore’s districts, where there has been substantial growth, to reduce the numbers in their districts and to push more of the leftover population northward. You can do that AND move an entire, or at least significant portion of, a Kent County SD southward to address Sussex County’s growth. That is not, however, what McBride and Poore reportedly plan to do.

      So the Democrats plan to weaken their party by handing over a seat to the Republicans? I’m not sure I’m buying that.

        Not ‘the Democrats’. McBride, and especially Poore, who sees herself as the Pro-Tem In Waiting.

        The ‘Democrats’, led by Tony DeLuca, carved out a safe district for Colin Bonini, who was sweating bullets over what might happen to him in the 2012 redistricting.

        There’s a lot of unsavory inside shit that has gone on during redistricting. A purely transactional ‘leader’ like Poore is only concerned with power, not about fellow ‘Democrats’. I cannot overstate how far she will go to accrue power. She will step on anyone in her path, D or R.

        • Alby says:
          August 11, 2020 at 12:52 pm

          And handing a seat to the Republicans diminishes her power, which is why I’m not sure I buy this.

            The D’s will control the Senate. The less power the upstate progressives have, the more power she has. Spiros is not a progressive, but he knows that she wants to get rid of his district in reapportionment. That’s a pretty good reason to oppose her for leadership if you’re in his shoes. If Marie Pinkney AND Kyle Evans Gay win, I think she might struggle to be in leadership, but if Ennis’ legislative assistant knocks off Dave Lawson, I’m not looking for her to partner with the progressives.

            OK, I’m getting ahead of myself. I’ll write a lot more about this when we preview the State Senate primaries.

    FTR – I get not voting for Democrats that you truly can’t stomach. Spiros just doesn’t rise to that level for me.
