If you think Riemer’s weak attacks on his opponents are negative, imagine how negative Riemer’s campaign would be if he ran on his own record. |
What record? |
Riemer’s record of ineffective corporate giveaways, deteriorating public safety, slipping schools, slow job and wage growth, higher housing prices, etc. That’s his legacy here. |
Why do you need your county executive to be charismatic? I’ve barely seen videos of them anyway, I tend to get read print more than anything else. |
Hans Riemer is living proof that race and class privilege are real. |
+1000. |
But he has a guitar placed prominently in the room where he Zooms! He's a commoner, for sure..... |
hahahahah! As someone who has to watch Council meetings as part of my job, this made me snort! |
| I think Hans Riemer is running for 2026. And to make 2026 viable he needs to spoil Blair today. The problem for Hans is that by 2026 he’ll be forgotten or just irrelevant. Just think about Berliner, Floreen and Leventhal. The idea that any one of those three would be viable candidates in 2022 is ridiculous. |
Is he really that horrible a person and that dumb? |
| He’s not bright. At least not politically/strategically. |
That's kind of what I like about Elrich. He's at the end of his career (Whether this year or in four more years) and then he'll retire. He's not running for Governor or Congress. You may disagree with how he is running the county, but running the county is his primary focus and not a stepping stone to something else. Riemer and Blair are in it for their resumes. None of what Elrich is doing is a political calculation, to a fault. He's a terrible politician, but that's how he wins... being authentic, and rallying up the unions and the old hippies. He knows he couldn't win anywhere else. Again, you may not like him, but what you see is 100% what you get. |
He really is that dumb. |
I see your point to an extent on Elrich and Riemer but I don’t really have a sense what Blair’s ambitions are beyond CE. This would be his first elected position. Whereas Reimer is much more obvious (and slimy). Willing to take a chance in Blair as I don’t think Elrich has done well enough to earn my vote. |
Authentic or not, he's really damaging the quality of the county. Does that not matter to people? |
