In reply to the discussion: The Grio: "Why Nina Turner, the real 'establishment,' lost Ohio Democratic primary race" [View all]Cha
(318,186 posts)28. Ha, Nina Turner, the "Establishment" candidate..
All that money and those "celebrities" didn't do her any good.. because she was still Nina Turner.
She had more money, higher name recognition and tons of celebrity endorsements in her pocket. Her opponent Shontel Brown was a local Cuyahoga County Democratic Party chair,
And Shontel Brown was an Exponentially better candidate to Represent Ohio District 11!
Who were those "celebrities", anyway? Susan Sarandon?
From your link..
You cant say voting for Biden is like eating shit. I mean, lots of people felt that way, I wanted to vote for Pete Buttigieg, but you cant say that then run for Congress.
Shontel's ads using NT's own words did enlighten people to what was said by Turner on July 27, 2020.
My sister went to school with Shontel, and I just dont like that Hello Somebody thing, [From Turner] it sounds forced!
What was that "Hello Somebody" thing about? I did see tweets that said "Goodbye Somebody!" so that's where it came from but what was Turner doing with "Hello Somebody"?
Oh, and I didn't know they called "Black Voters in Ohio Stupid"! Who was in charge there?!
Thank You and for the Grio article!

OP
Don't see how any Democrat could vote for someone who endorsed Putin's buddy* Jill Stein in 2016!
