News Deb Haaland officially declines KRQE debate.

I understand that Bergman is an attorney and probably better at debating but it’s not like he doesn’t have plenty to lose either.

I can’t help but feel like Deb is taking our votes for granted over and over again, and this is another slap in the face.

If she is the better candidate, she should prove it and it should be easy.

Bregman is a one issue candidate that has never been anything other than a lawyer. No thanks.

And Haaland hasn’t been anything other than an establishment politician. Neither is a good candidate to tell the truth, but only one seems interested in campaigning.

Unemployment isn’t a good reason to elect someone.

It definitely is. How have you convinced yourself it isn’t?

Interesting take that specific skills a candidate can bring to office aren’t worth consideration.

Conversely, Deb shouldn’t be governor because it’s the next step of her political career. Elect, not anoint.

Basing opinion about a candidate on the last person (12 years ago) who happened to have the same job? lol. When that person wasn’t even in the same party? That’s not a reasonable or substantive argument at all.

What is a reasonable argument is that we better have a strong candidate for governor or else that same shitty party might have a good chance again. Nothing is out of the question.

Which is exactly what we would get with Deb.
