Randy Bryce (@ironstache) internal shows Paul Ryan in big trouble

I understand Jon Ossoff is a better fit for the suburbs but he ran a horrendous campaign and would have lost in any republican leaning suburb. End of story. He lacked a message and was robotic and uninspiring. This district is clearly too suburban for Randy Bryce, but that is not an excuse to run democrats who have no message. We just need someone that looks like an Obama or a Gillibrand as opposed to a Kaptur or a Sanders, who is polished and sounds and appears educated. but they can still have progressive views. It's more complicated then progressive vs. moderate

Wait, in what world is working in a kitchen not blue collar?

I think it's safe to say the dividing line is somewhere in between working in some fast-food kitchen because you have to, and paying big bucks to a private college for years to study puff pastries, business management or whatever.

Even if we assume his work in the kitchen - however much of it there actually was - makes him a regular joe of sorts, he also owned and sold multiple businesses in the industry and spent the remainder of his career pre-campaign in government and the non-profit sector. I'm sorry, but I doubt he smacks of blue-collar culture with his background (something much more obviously present with a candidate like Bryce) and I clearly remember his campaign trying to frame him as "generic business owner" back in 2012.
