| If he wins, we need to go for plan B and that means drafting someone to either run an independent campaign or, run as a Republican against him in the general. |
| Hans Riemer has backing from major money groups, so please encourage him to keep running. |

It was tried (Floreen) in the last election. Too many peopel blindly vote for the "(D)" person without even reading the name.
Even a super-moderate Republicn doesn't stand a chance. The best long-term solution is open primaries. Youd' then end up with 2 D's in the general and at least one would be relatively normal. |
Floreen was late to the ballot and didn’t have the funding and organization that Riemer does. |
Floreen's PAC was funded better than Elrich's PAC as I recall. She was late to the race, but her numbers were pretty low regardless. |
Riemer is a different candidate with a different brand. He inspires a lot of people and has developed a following. He has the opportunity to really do this. The question is whether he’s committed enough. |
Isn't Robin Ficker running on the republican primary tomorrow like he does every 4 years? |
| But I like Elrich... |
|
Any R or I here MUST vote for the Independent candidate. Don't vote for a R. Your vote is a throw away here, and we will end up with Elrich again.
If you want a moderate and not Elrich, then hold your nose and vote for the moderate D who hopefully will run as an Independent. |
Yes but this time it’s the Republican primary for Governor. |
I already have very little respect for Riemer. I’d have even less if he did this. His negativity and misguided views certainly aren’t inspiring. |
| Yawn. |
There are a lot of people in this county that like and support Riemer and I hope he’s drafted to run in the general. He will be a formidable candidate and will likely win. |
You are underestimating the many people he has alienated. There is a sentiment that he only listens to people in his closed bubble of shared beliefs / experiences. I suspect you must be in that bubble. I’m not in it and I see him as hostile and duplicitous. |
| Much prefer Elrich to Blair. Really I prefer Reimer, but will vote for Elrich tomorrow |
