Rhode Island Politics - Discussion

Raimando made it impossible for me to get a job. Thankfully I got lucky and scored a job in Massachusetts.

Doesn't it say a lot that some shaggy perennial candidate who spent less than a $100 on his campaign got 20% of the vote?

I didn't realize till last election cycle how corrupt RI politics were.

Special circumstances. Public sector union members and many progressive Democrats refused to vote for Raimondo so this was largely a protest vote.

teeny tiny state in the NE that was governed by CHAFEE not being corrupt? LOL

But Chafee had no scandals.

Except that time talk radio turned him into the Grinch because he said "holiday tree" despite the two previous Republican governors saying the same thing.

Don't really know much about the state post Roger Williams.  I do know that somebody was dumb enough to give Curt Schilling $75 million and it wasn't to throw a baseball.

Kingdoms of Amalur was kinda cool. Best $75 million dollar mistake RI ever made.


I'm surprised by RI's primary. I voted for Clinton but I hope RI starts to primary all of the fake Democrats in office starting with our governor and lt. governor.

Well a bunch of fake Democrats in the RI General Assembly and Senate lost their primaries yesterday. What is going on in my state? First we vote for Bernie over Hilldawg and now this? Is Gina gonna lose her primary in a few years too?
