Here's Karin Housley, the Republican candidate for Al Franken's former Senate seat:
Doesn't she look just like every female Fox News person? Talks like them, too. Dimples, fixed smile that shows her veneers, and all, she says nothing but GOP talking points in her campaign appearances. Tina Smith, the Democratic candidate, presents herself much better and actually includes substance in her campaign pitches.
Karin Housley isn't really a Fox News personality. She just looks like one. Karin will appeal to the Trumpeter men, of course, because she resembles their favorite Fox newsmodel. Beyond that, though, I don't see her appeal to people who are actually looking for a Senator.

MineralMan
(146,364 posts)That's why she is running. She, and her idiot advisers think that's enough to get her into the US Senate. Well, in Minnesota, we're smarter than that. We're going to elect Tina Smith.

(17,984 posts)I detest bangs. Bangs are for 4 year old girls. This woman is using her bangs to cover up the fact that she is getting a bit long in the tooth.
There, that is the way I imagine a deplorable would analyze her qualifications
MineralMan
(146,364 posts)Watching her in person, her smile never changes, and she has an endless supply of one-line GOP talking points ready. I've never heard her say anything original or intelligent. She just gets by on her cheerleader appearance and never-ending smile.

(2 posts)That's right, an actual staffer for a US Senate candidate thinks these comments are worthy of a tweet. If you respond to him, please keep it civil. He seems like a swell guy.
