| He has no chance of winning, and he can lose and still keep his council seat. The cynic in me thinks someone from Bowsers inner circle is encouraging White to run so he will ciphon off a few votes from Robert White, thus splitting the anti-Bowser vote and she once again, cruises to another term. Robert White is an actual contender and she knows it, as does her inner circle of male advisors. Its actually a pretty good re-election strategy. |
| He'll get some votes for having the last name White for sure. Cancel this dude. Get the word out. But we need better contenders than a defund the police as crime is spiking in DC. |
I am totally convinced that your analysis is correct. |
+2 It's deeply cynical, but Bowser is a pretty good political game player. It pains me to admit this, but Bowser is the "moderate" in this election. Which means I think she will cruise to re-election. |
| Dude was in Egypt during the pandemic. He can screw himself. |
| Can he run for his council seat simultaneously? Or does this mean he’s off the council? |
He is not up for reelection this cycle, not is R White. It is a bit problematic that half the members of council can basically run for mayor without risking losing their seats because they are in an off year and the other half can't. |

The Marion Barry strategy. |
| He is such a joke - but yes he will probably get some of R. White's votes which is good for Bowser. |
| Yeah, this is not a coincidence. |
|
The man thinks Jews control the weather and only got the vaccine because his fellow members likely would have shunned him even more than they do now, so it amazes me that anyone thinks he's bright enough to participate in any sort of electoral scheme without giving away the plot within a week or two.
If he files the paperwork correctly, it will be a minor miracle. |
| why do people think Bowser engineered T. White's entry into the mayoral race? Is there any evidence of that at all? Is Bowser even that adept at political maneuvering? |
She got Brandon Todd elected and that guy was a potted plant. I'm sure her lawyers can figure out how to file T. White's paperwork and drive over to Ward 8 to get his signature on the paper. He owes her his ass after his anti-Semitic debacle. She could've publicly called for his resignation, but she didn't |
So right....this is just speculation. |
|
He's not just an idiot, but an anti-Semitic, anti-vax dangerous idiot.
It's horrifying that he's running, I don't care how it happened. |
