Campaign: Strong Republican turnout in CT primaries - Congratulations Bob Stefanowski...

[Free Vulcan]

...for winning the gubernatorial primary. In our statewide primary election on Tuesday, we had over 143,000 Republican voters coming to the polls. This was up from 125,000 in 2010 and 79,000 in 2014, both prior Governor election years. The increase in voter turnout is a direct reflection of the momentum for Republican ideas in Connecticut. The Democrat turnout for this primary was 25% while that for our Republican Party was 30%. In CT there is no blue wave – it appears a red wave is forming. Congratulations to Bob Stefanowski for the nomination for Governor, Joe Markley for Lt. Governor, Thad Gray for Treasurer, Sue Hatfield for Attorney General, Kurt Miller for Comptroller and Matt Corey for the nomination for US Senate.

GOP is fooling themselves if they think they can pick up that Socialist hell hole.

GOP is fooling themselves if they think they can pick up that Socialist hell hole.

Probably so since it is very much like Illinois and Cooke County being able to out vote the entire rest of the state.

Bob Stefanowski IS NOT a "Republican".

He just changed to "Republican" last year, because he wasn't going to win the nomination as a democrat-com. (leftie Ned Lamont won it)

From what I've read:
- He didn't vote for Romney.
- He didn't vote for McCain
- He didn't vote for the Republican candidate (against Dan Malloy) for governor either of two times.

From this article:

"But Herbst said offstage that he had been ready to confront Stefanowski with a story he says he has heard from three people: Stefanowski was not only was a registered Democrat from late 2016 to the end of July last year, but he spoke to an unnamed Democratic operative about running for governor as a Democrat."
(Herbst was one of the Republican candidates for governor)

"But a key element of Stefanowski’s transformation from a politically indifferent corporate executive who didn’t bother to vote for 16 years  — he skipped the 2016 presidential election — remains a puzzle the candidate makes no effort to unlock: A nine-month fling as a Democrat that didn’t end until last summer..."

This guy is not to be trusted.
I may just leave the top spot on the ballot blank in November.

Why vote for a democrat-com wearing a Republican mask, when you can vote for a declared democrat-communist and get the real thing...?

I hope the GOP isn't pouring money into this campaign.

Well, the increased number of Rep primary voters does reflect the almost Universal Disgust with the State's current Rat machine.

I live in Ct and it's near impossible to find Anyone in my hamlet except the 'Duh!' crowd working in chain burger joints who won't agree with you that the Dems have WAY beyond just screwed the pooch in this State.
