Kirkpatrick’s campaign already faces an uphill climb and she’s failing to win over grassroots Democrats. With no base, and no record worth running on, Kirkpatrick’s candidacy is already in trouble.
You know you have problems when your own party ‘laughs derisively’ at your platform:
-
“Kirkpatrick has little to offer other than supporting women’s equality, which for some voters will be enough." (“Ann Kirkpatrick In Arizona? Don’t Waste Your Time,” Before It’s News, 8/14/15)
-
"There will be significant pressure…to endorse her simply because she’s running against John McCain…For reasons set forth below, in my opinion it would be a huge mistake for progressives/climate hawks to do so, unless her platform improves tremendously." (“Ann Kirkpatrick In Arizona? Don’t Waste Your Time,” Before It’s News, 8/14/15)
-
"She started talking about clean coal, being researched at Northern AZ University, and at this point the people in the room just started laughing derisively." (“Ann Kirkpatrick In Arizona? Don’t Waste Your Time,” Before It’s News, 8/14/15)
-
"Maybe this event served as a wakeup call regarding her inadequate climate platform. But I’d recommend staying away from this race for the foreseeable future." (“Ann Kirkpatrick In Arizona? Don’t Waste Your Time,” Before It’s News, 8/14/15)
- "Courage and leadership aren’t things that have ever crossed her mind– other than, perhaps, avoiding them." (“Ann Kirkpatrick In Arizona? Don’t Waste Your Time,” Before It’s News, 8/14/15)
