Holy hell Grohman is extremely bad at this



Amy Volk is basically an open white supremacist and one of the most conservative members of the State Senate. After the LePage endorsement, he’s basically running as a tea partier.

LMAO it’s even worse than I thought.

25 other Republicans have endorsed Grohman, including Trump’s Maine State Director in the 2016 campaign.

The hypocrisy of someone whose slogan is “Fix Not Fight” running gleefully with the endorsement of a Trump staffer is disgusting. I hate this man.

Regardless, I’m certain we’ll see Pingree mailers with Grohman’s pro-LePage and pro-Volk tweets.

Gohman’s also got the support of the biggest gun rights organization in Maine (outside of the NRA):

Why didn’t he just run as a Republican?

Grohman is now hitting Pingree for voting against defense authorization, saying it costs jobs at Bath Iron Works and Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.

This is totally disingenuous — Pingree singlehandedly gets BIW and PNS work through her tireless efforts on the appropriations committee. Grohman has said he’d refuse to caucus with either party, meaning he wouldn’t be nearly as effective at getting BIW and PNS work, because he wouldn’t be on a relevant committee (or ANY committee).

Why are you so agitated about this race Maineiac? Pingree has literally a 99.8% chance of victory.

Because I am disgusted with Grohman's behavior, his duplicity, his dishonesty, his smarminess. Even a 0.2% chance of this man being my congressman makes me want to vomit.

Secret Cavern Survivor is wrong. Pingree actually has a 100% chance of winning.

Pingree is running ads for the first time in four years:

https://www.facebook.com/PingreeForCongress/videos/2144606519134681/

My guess: Grohman is taking enough away from her to push her below 50%. She doesn’t want that to happen, even if she does win on the second ballot.

Very McCaskill-esque ad.

Actually, now that you mention it, since both districts share media markets, this might be an “introduction” ad to the rest of the state if she wants to run against Collins in 2020...

I can't believe how easy it has been to vote for Chellie both in this cycle and last cycle.

Most likely, she is setting herself up for a 2020 Senate run.

If she wasn't at least seriously considering it at this point, I'd be surprised.

I said this on discord before, but I think Pingree's heading for the Senate Election in 2020, and Ringelstein is getting name rec to possibly replace her.

I doubt it's come to that; if it did, then I would be extremely surprised.

I would assume it's just a precaution.

Also for the first time in a long time she's the net recipient of donations, instead of a net donor. Maybe she just has extra cash to burn.

Damn, if Chellie runs for Senate in 2020 there would be sooo many people who could/would run for her seat. Adam Cote, Mark Eves, Zak Ringelstein, Sara Gideon, Justin Alfond, Cynthia Dill, and a whole lot of state reps and senators. I like Chellie more than all those people though. And I have doubts in her winning statewide. I'd hate for her to run for Senate and lose and then I get stuck with a moderate like Adam Cote as my House rep.
