One Response
Diana Irey Vaughan’s fundraising demonstrates that the party leadership has abandoned her. She is independent of party leadership and independent of party funders.
Rob McCord is funded by usual Democratic suspects and is an investor insider. Not independent. And has failed to improve the pension underfunding problem because Rob McCord’s Union base doesn’t want it fixed. The Unions want The Forgotten Taxpayer to fund their pensions without regard to personal consequence to The Forgotten Taxpayer or to the real economy as opposed to the government economy the cost of which is ever escalating.
