Charlie Copeland on his pitiful loss

Filed in National by on February 25, 2017

“I want to commend John Marino and his entire team for all that they’ve done over the last few weeks. It’s been truly amazing to watch this grassroots effort come together to work for a common cause in an effort to make our state better.

“This evening Delaware citizens have been able to see just how politically bankrupt Delaware is. Delaware Democrats, administratively, changed Delaware’s campaign finance laws in the middle of this campaign so that they could go on to raise $1 million to buy the 10th Senate District seat. Delaware’s Democrats spent over $100 per vote in a District that they already had a 60-to-40 registration advantage. Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat you should be outraged that this kind of unethical behavior occurred. Once again, we are seeing what happens when one political party has absolute power….corruption.”

    Sickening. Charlie Copeland truly is a low life.

  2. Liberal Nonsense says:

    Copeland was part of the team who ruined the GOP from within. he kind of populism the GOP needs was tried by one guy in the 2000’s and was soundly trashed by the GOP.

  3. jason330 says:

    He’s notched one win. Ken Simpler. Everything else has been losing winnable races.

  4. Liberal Nonsense says:

    Simpler won because of LOW D turnout and a disconnected D candidate. Not because Simpler is anything for the future.

    Populism was espoused by one GOP’er 10-12 years go and the GOP said no.

  5. nemski says:

    He still owns Carney.

  6. puck says:

    Dems are still blocking Copeland on his beloved estate tax repeal, on right-to-work-for-less, and on repeal of prevailing wage rules. Other than that, Delaware Repubs are getting pretty much everything they want from Democrats.

  7. A disconnected D candidate? Yes. As was Carney acolyte Brenda Mayrack, who also lost.

    The danger for progressives is that the majority of elected D’s are disconnected D’s.

    Time to challenge them with candidates who stand for something. Only way to do that is through the grassroots.

    As to Charles Bouvier des Flanders Copeland, ya gotta love that phrase, “It’s been truly amazing to watch this grassroots effort come together to work for a common cause in an effort to make our state better.”

    He must have nodded his head in amazement when Marino’s campaign manager and volunteer coordinator came together to leave the campaign in the final two weeks. This guy is as bad as Carney!

    El Som… I am cautious about projecting my left-of-center sensibilities onto SD10. We have to admit that when it comes to economic issues, Delaware voters are mostly purplish (brainwashed by Chamber/Delaware Way propaganda). I don’t know that a full-throated progressive can win in any but a few districts.

  9. I think that a populist/progressive message that the 1% are getting richer while everybody else founders is a winning message. Not in Greenville, perhaps, but likely elsewhere. It’s about people not receiving a sufficient wage, about losing their healthcare, about constantly being shunted aside.

    I think that message is in tune with a majority of Delawareans, but very few D’s even pay it lip service. Fact is, other than a select few candidates, hardly any D’s have even articulated that message. I think it’s a winning message b/c it’s right and b/c I see people responding to it favorably.

  10. Jason330 says:

    Pucks purplish voters are thirsty for that message but they don’t know it.

  11. bamboozer says:

    If Bernie proved anything it’s that a progressive message resonates with far more Americans than all the collective genius of the pundits ever dreamed of. It can work, it can be done and it can happen here.

  12. Alby says:

    Let me get this straight: A Republican leader claims spending a lot of money on a campaign is “unethical.”

    Ask him if he favors spending limits.

    At this point the entire Republican Party seems like an expensive trolling operation.

  13. Jason330 says:

    Lol. Nailed it.

  14. Frankp says:

    Charlie “trust fund baby” Copeland is whining about campaign spending? I’m laughing so hard snot is running out of my nose.

  15. puck says:

    Someone should introduce a campaign spending limits bill in the GA just to get Republicans on record opposing it.
