Miss America 2018 Cara Mund created shockwaves during her reign after publicly taking pageant leadership to task for bullying and other bad behavior. Now she’s tackling another challenge: running for Congress in her home state of North Dakota as a pro-choice Republican who will not “bow to” Trump, she tells Sheila Flynn
I’d actually argue this is better than just running as a Dem. As a Dem its just noise. But as Rep she stands to get some exposure and getting the base there to actually have a conversation about these important issues.
To run as a Democrat in ND is to automatically lose. The portion of the electorate that will refuse to look beyond the team sports identity is so huge, if you actually want to participate, you have to technically be a member of the correct “team”.
I am amazed at how broadly your comment could be applied to nearly all political scenarios. There are three independents or non-blue/red in all of both houses of congress. And one of them is Simena who got elected as a Dem I believe.
Im wondering why she doesn’t run as a Democrat but trying to pull the nuthouse closer to centre is a good thing too.
