100% Evidence The Daily Times SUCKS

The editorial below, (published today) has got to be one of the most incredible pieces of crap I have ever seen in my entire life. 

I love how Ireton and now the Daily Times screamed and cried calling foul on alleged gerrymandering in District 1 but hey, THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE and let me explain why.

When you voted as a Democrat in District 1, you could only vote for DEMOCRATS! It's a PRIMARY, not a general election. Please, do tell me how it is physically possible how Ireton can even claim the district is rigged in a PRIMARY? What an Idiot/Liar.

The editorial below clearly explains how Ireton's opponent did NOTHING. He didn't raise any money. He didn't have any campaign signs. He didn't knock on any doors. Yet he beat the crap out of Ireton by 2,000 votes! Gee, you don't think I had anything to do with that, do you? I sure as hell hope so anyway. 

Nevertheless, read the editorial, it will blow your mind. When you are done, IF you still have a subscription to that piece of crap, left wing, one sided rainbow flag newspaper, cancel it immediately. You can thank me later. 

Tip of the hat to Jim Ireton

THE DAILY TIMES EDITORIAL BOARD7:02 a.m. EDT April 29, 2016

After a mighty effort and an impressive showing, Ireton deserves congratulations

It's not customary to congratulate the loser in a primary race, but after Salisbury City Councilman Jim Ireton narrowly lost his bid to be the Democratic candidate for Maryland's 1st Congressional District in November, that's exactly what he deserves – a tip of the hat, a big pat on the back and hearty congratulations.

Why?

Because his opponent, Joe Werner, is a candidate who, it's fairly safe to say, many Eastern Shore voters were unaware existed, for one thing.

Ireton worked the campaign exhaustively, pounding the pavement and creating a constant presence on social media. He made sure everyone knew his name. He attended events. He shook hands, stumped and was involved in every way possible.

Werner, on the other hand, posted on social media, and that's all – no fundraising, no stumping, no meet-and-greets. He was not, by his own admission, not expecting to win. Yet win he did, against an energetic, motivated candidate who worked hard to get his message out.

What we know about Werner is mostly that he did not seem motivated, and he didn't bother to amass money, make appearances, shake hands or meet and greet potential voters.

It is a mystery. Why did so many people vote for Werner, the unknown? Is it a rigged game after all?

For one thing, Werner had run for office previously, albeit unsuccessfully, in Harford County. So he was known to voters across the Chesapeake Bay. Apparently, that's all it takes.

We live in a region where, thanks to a gerrymandered 1st District, it may be close to impossible to elect anyone with an Eastern Shore address to Congress.

We also live in a region where every vote has the potential to make a difference. Werner received fewer than 2,000 more votes than Ireton (before taking absentee ballots into consideration). Were there 2,000 additional Democrats on the Eastern Shore who might have voted for Ireton, had they bothered to vote? It seems likely. So voter turnout matters – to an extent. Each Democratic candidate got fewer than 30,000 votes.

In the Republican primary, more than 87,000 votes were cast, compared to fewer than 60,000 Democratic votes total. So if every Democrat who voted in the primary supported Werner in November, he'd still lose if every Republican who supported Harris in April repeated their selection in the general election.

So Werner won this primary, but Ireton made a more-than impressive showing. He deserves credit for that effort.
