Chip in today to elect Dem govs across the country >>
Democratic governors are leading the fight against Donald Trump and his administration – and they need your help. Trump and his allies have hundreds of millions of dollars to attack our candidates, and we have to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight back. With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
Stapleton In Shambles: Blunders Ballot Access And Withdraws All Signatures
Who Campaigned Worse: Jeb Bush or Walker Stapleton?
While the world thought there could be no sadder Bush-family campaign moment than “please clap,” Jeb’s cousin, Walker Stapleton said, “Hold my beer.”
Today, he announced he would withdraw all 19214 petition signatures he submitted to gain access to the ballot. Stapleton’s campaign told reporters today they have paid the signature gathering firm more than$200,000 this cycle.
This is more than embarrassing; it’s an unmitigated catastrophe for the Stapleton campaign. Stapleton spent months deliberating whether he would even show up to the GOP convention because his campaign has zero momentum behind it. He now must face Republican convention-goers on Saturday, and certainly the inability to effectively manage his campaign will be a topic of discussion.
“Walker Stapleton can’t generate enthusiasm, lacks any discernable message, and is unable to execute the basic requirements of a gubernatorial campaign,” said David Turner, DGA Deputy Communications Director. “Stapleton’s campaign is basically Jeb Bush’s without the exclamation point.”
