[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She has a charismatic personality but I don’t know if she has the substance to go against Trump. I’m not excited about the upcoming race. [/quote]

She's my councilperson and I've met her half a dozen times and not seen evidence of this charisma.  But if the standard is Bowser than JLG is basically Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, so maybe you're grading on a DC politician curve here.[/quote]

+1.  JLG is horrible.  Her constitutent services are downright nasty, and she just sucks up to whatever is popular at the moment amongst the wealthy liberals.  Remember that parts of her ward are WOTP.[/quote]

It will be interesting to see what happens. [/quote]

DP and I'm pretty sure she'll win.  I don't want her to be mayor, and I don't think her winning will be any evidence that she's immensely popular (are we to believe that Bowser is universally adored, since she's been elected more times and to a higher office?  Or do we all realize that most people are indifferent to her at best?), but . . . who else is there to vote for?  Kenyan?  Some as-yet unnamed Bowser puppet?  A third party candidate?

This is DC.  We have crummy, uninspiring politicians who are either on the take or aggravatingly radical and ineffective or both.  And when they leave, we get a new one.  Maybe it's good that we're moving in a "aggravatingly radical" direction instead of "blatantly felonious."  Maybe that's the best we can hope for.  [/quote]
