Comment Rescue – the laughable pretense that the DEGOP is a going enterprise was kept alive by Pete
Republicans have made themselves irrelevant in Delaware politics. We know that looking at statewide races, but even the withered DEGOP rump caucus that hangs on in their creepy garbage filled swamps are irrelevant. Pete has been covering up that fact for some time now. This comment from John Kowalko from prior thread gets to the heart of it.
[This] is exactly the same playbook that wannabee dictator Schwartzkopf has used in the past to support his Republican neanderthals down south. You’ll recall that a few years ago he forced a vote on the Ramone evisceration of the minimum wage bill (training wage/underage wage/lifeguard savings) with the same threat that they, the R’s, wouldn’t vote for the Bond bill if we didn’t give them that destroyer of the minimum wage bill. I pointed out in caucus the very real fact that the Bond measure contains about 3x the money earmarked for southern Delaware as opposed to Northern Delaware. But Pete refused to call their bluff and despite some votes against, the Ramone measure passed. This is atypical behavior for this fascist piece of shit who is voted in year after year as leader of the democrat caucus. He deliberately betrays the public interests and deliberately chooses to weaken the electoral process. He is an evil that must be excised from the Democrat party and any progressive who succumbs to this blackmail tactic should be ashamed of themselves. Hopefully they’ll stand tall and deny this extortionist his willingness to harm the public interest.

P.S. This is exactly why caucuses should be open to the public. No more arm twisting, deal-making, blackmailing and rewards given in secret to betray the public.
