Lt Gov Poll Results & Next Week’s Poll
Concerning the question – Who do you want to be Delaware’s next Lt. Governor?
Kevin Hensley wins! 26% of poll takers want Hensley which is probably 13% Republicans happy to see a Republican show up in one of our weekly polls and 13% people from the 9th RD who are ready for Hensley to move on and vacate the district. Rest assured, he has no chance of being the next Lt Gov.
Among people who stand a chance of being the next Lt Gov, Debbie Harrington and Bryan Townsend tied for first with 10%. I’m good with either one of those guys. Also being considered: Dee Durham(8%), Coby Owens (7%), Sherry Dorsey Walker (7%), Jamie Collins (7%), Madinah Wilson-Anton(6%), & Eugene Young(4%)
I’m just glad Sarah McBride only gathered 4% of the vote. I take that outcome to mean that DL readers and lurkers agree with me that McBride for Lt Gov would be a shameful waste of political talent & energy.
Onward – Senators Chris Coons and Tom Carper considered themselves honorary tech-bros when they supported the Trump administration’s weakening of Dodd-Frank.
Now that the deregulation has come home to roost in a number of bank failures (and lightning quick bail outs), do you think Carper of Coons will act like full grown men, and comment on the fact that the votes they lent to Trump’s vandalism of Dodd-Frank were dead wrong?
RE: the choices in the current poll. This is a freebie.
I don’t think we’ve ever witnessed cause in politics and effect line up so neatly. Coons and Carper should feel ashamed of those votes, but that would mean they have the ability to feel shame. If either ever comment on those votes please share the info here.
Additionally, the shame and embarrassment they should be feeling should in turn cause them moderate their banking deregulation impulses in the future. Will it happen? Again, that’s a big “fuck no.”
The allure of huge privatized profits and the consequence free environment of socialized losses is much too strong.
