rigged election

February 8, 2018

Democrats are still deeply divided over the party rigging their primary in 2016, and that resentment is now flaring up in the ME-02 primary:

Democratic congressional candidate Tim Rich is fed up with the Democratic Party.

Rich, a Bar Harbor cafe owner, said Wednesday he will likely quit the race this month rather than continue a campaign he doubts he can win.

“I believe in a fair fight, but there is no nobility in losing a rigged game,” Rich said.

Though the Maine Democratic Party insists it has stayed neutral, Rich, 40, insists the party establishment decided early on that state Rep. Jared Golden, a Lewiston Democrat, ought to be the challenger to take on two-term U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin, a 2nd District Republican.

History repeats itself: Nancy Pelosi’s anointment of Jared Golden will end the same way it did for Hillary Clinton.
