Christine Todd Whitman claims her "Forward" party features Moderate Dems but can't name one...

[tenderfoot]

1. There are NONE. THEY need the new fucking party, NOT DEMS.

[doc03]

2. David Jolly said both pro-life and pro-choice people

would be in their party. How would that work?

[flamingdem]

11. MSNBC needs to stop giving David Jolly a platform!

He's constantly on there and now we know he's a just another Anti-democratic party guy pushing for the Forward Party.

15. Another former 'Pub like Joey Scar and Nikki Wallace....

The Bush Bots from 20 years ago get no pass from me.

[brooklynite]

18. "How would that work"? Same way the Democratic Party does?

20. Democrats who oppose abortion are a dying breed

as are Republicans who favor abortion rights. We are down to 1 Democrat who opposes abortion rights in each house (and Manchin actually is on record favoring some). The GOP might have 5 house members and 2 senators who favor abortion. The parties have largely sorted on this issue and I don't see a party managing to have significant numbers on both sides of this issue.

21. I think it's ok to oppose abortion

as long as they don't think that the power of the state should be weaponized to enforce their opposition.

Like I have told my priest, you can preach all you want that adultery is a sin, but the church would never organize, or use its power and influence to get the power of the state to jail adulterers, or deny them employment or housing.

23. That's why 'pro life' is bullshit framing.

These fascists are forced-birthers.

[Voltaire2]

22. Forced birth.

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. WTF is wrong with her?

Does she want that many Women and non white people and Gay people and Trans people to die?

WTF is wrong with people?

[BradAllison]

16. Another "polite" Rethug

"Compassionate Conservatism" they called it back in the day. The lies never stop.

[FoxNewsSucks]

6. That's right.

[msongs]

7. that's their reason to be. it is a repub front like 3rd way nt

19. John Anderson declares as Independent, Vows to Draw many 'New Voters'

That's exactly what this is...

We only learned after the fact that Roger Stone and Roy Cohn bribed a NY State official $125,000 to get Anderson on the ballot in 1980.

Ostensibly to divide votes on the left versus Ronald Reagan.

Whatever or whoever is driving this effort won't give up.

Given tonight's election results I doubt this will go anywhere but what a waste of time, money, and resources. All of which should be going to saving Democracy.

10. Exactly. Same as the "moderate" Republicans that voted Libertarian in 2016...

...so they could avoid voting for Trump but still not vote for "THAT WOMAN!"

There were three times as many of them as there were people who voted Green, and they put Trump in office.

5. Early on, one of the selling points of the Tea Party is it was a big tent

Conservatives and moderates. That didn't last long. I don't know of anyone that fell for that.

[JHB]

9. I know people who fell for it...

Hosts and regular guests of political talking-head shows. heck, they still treat it like it was some kind of movement, not the Glenn Beck fan club and a rebranding effort to distance themselves from George Bungleya Bush.

[TreasonousBastard]

8. I lived in Joisey when she was Gov and she wasn't as clueless.

as she seems

Except for that time we were in the middle of a drought and I showed up for a debate and the sprinklers were on during a rainstorm.

Anyway, I would infinitely prefer Whitman to most of the alleged Republicans running the show now.

[PSPS]

12. "Yes actually we do but you have to go to the website." - "The website" lists nobody at all.

This just a re-boot of the "no labels party" nonsense born from the W stink that nobody fell for.

[Fullduplexxx]

13. She's the reason the 9-11 first responders have the lung problems they have

[no_hypocrisy]

14. Not even Joshie???

[Iris]

17. Yeah, right.

This is clearly a spin-off from the Republican Party, at least to me. Why would any Democrats go along with this. What the hell is wrong with Wang?

[wiggs]

24. Great. Starting out with deception and misinformation just like the party they used

to be a part of. It's apparently the only way 'forward' for republicans. Unfortunately, it works.

[OilemFirchen]

25. If she thinks she's going to appeal in any way to Democrats...

it's prolly not a good idea to use the pejorative "Democrat" as an adjective.

[Boomerproud]

26. Haven't heard her name in ages.

Trying to be relevant?
