In reply to the discussion: Dennis Kucinich offers no support for Marcy Kaptur after primary defeat [View all]JonLP24
(29,322 posts)what Kucinich is referring to when he says Kaptur ran a campaign utterly lacking in integrity, with false statements, half-truths, misrepresentations. Post #20 could be something but I don't have a clue what it is. If it is serious misrepresentations(if they are), I don't blame him but don't know enough to make a judgment one way or the other. I remember watching the GOP AZ Attorney General where both candidates were excusing each other of corruption but in the end they both stated they would support their opponent if they won. That made no sense, if you think the guy is corrupt, why support him?
You can find someone somewhere that doesn't like something while there are probably opinion pieces praising him, but to address the national spotlight, he doesn't strike me as someone that is concerned about spotlights or anything like that. I believe he is speaking on issues he truly believes which people that are turned off by politicians is something that is lacking, the pandering. I like Sanders for similar reasons. The running for President is only thing I would see spotlight seeker but it could be that there is no one running who shares the views and has the best ideas to improve this country.
When it comes to Kaptur, I'm less interested in arguing who is better. I wish we could have both. That gerrymandering BS is sad. I like Kaptur though there are things like supporting the Stupak amendment which was mostly supporting by Blue Dogs from the Dem side. Which she isn't, she's progressive.
