I'd say he's the weakest and has immeasurably hurt himself by abandoning one race to seek what he perceives to be a lower hanging fruit.

Pinsley Drops Out of Congressional Race, Will Seek State Senate Seat Instead
Lehigh County Controller Mark Pinsley, who was one of seven candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for the Pa 7 Congressional seat, has dropped out of the race. He's now running for the state senate instead. He's claiming he's the strongest possible candidate to take on incumbent Jarrett Coleman.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.

ReplyDeleteThose who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't do or teach, run for office. It's difficult to respect government when people like Pinsley are part of it.
ReplyDeleteOne among many around here.
DeleteLeave teachers out of it!
DeleteLet’s please remember - “those who can, do” probably do whatever they do because they were taught it by someone!
DeleteNo surprise from this disgraceful POS- he's just another Lehigh County radical, always on the lookout for his next gig.
ReplyDeleteShupe will be next, then Gonzales, then McClure, then CoD. The Carpetbagger and the Borking Boob will duke it out on the ballot.
ReplyDeleteHe's Lehigh County's version of Zrinski.
ReplyDeleteHe just needs to go away! Far away! He is just ridiculous. He pretty much contributes nothing of value to society. It seems like he just likes the limelight.
ReplyDeleteBernie I lost count, but isn't this something like 8 different offices he's run for in 10yrs? Maybe he really should go away.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Ron Beitler is doing some great reporting on what's going on in Lehigh County, you may want to start commenting as well. Based on his initial actions, God help us if that maroon gets elected governor.
I found it to be quite ironic that it took him three (3) years to realize that the Federal Government wasn't paying rent for the Office of Homeland Security. He is a leftwing lunatic and should never be voted into an elective position again.
ReplyDeleteHe is a very strange person. Something is just really off about him. I have no idea how he ever wins any public office.
