IT’S obvious the Democrat Party made a “dumb” mistake that cost the Party and estimated 17,000 to help Corina get elected not to mention the hundreds of “man-hours” put in by volunteers to help her for FREE —so disrespectful and voters can see it and they are not stupid Corina! It was a 17,000-dollar lesson that the Party won’t make again as they have learned, got better and I’m sure will fix it so it will NEVER happen again. But had it been known she had a propensity to change parties, it could have been prevented which confirms “it’s expensive to be dumb.” I’m sure it didn’t dawn on the Party that any of the elected officials would have the audacity to “abandon the Party,” especially after winning. Only a neophyte & SELFISH politician would make such a kaduku mistake — for TRUE! Don’t think she took any Poly-sci courses and I’m sure Arnold knew she was joining the AD team and he KNEW-BETTER than to let Corina leave under “disrespectful & dishonorable conditions.” But Arnold didn’t CARE, as he was toooo busy GLOATING over sabotaging the Democrats. Arnold doesn’t care about disrespecting the Democrats nor the blow-back Corina gets that has literally BACK-FIRED as voters now know the UGLY truth about Corina & AD, LOL!
Corina is definitely doing right to continue working with the Democrats on the Impeachment, which I’m sure is OK with AD but I really don’t care what she does anymore as the Senate is going to acquit anyway. In fact, and more importantly, WE also saw the Republicans didn’t waste any time “TESTING Corina’s Loyalty” by sending her a notice to appear as a Prosecutor when she is not over any Committee but she stood fast. I just hope they won’t ruin her with jumping through all their poli-tricking hoops figuratively. But I might have actually respected Corina and turned-the-other-cheek but Corina’s problem with me and most Democrats and a lot of voters was not so much about leaving the Party but it was the WAY she left that was soooooo darn disrespectful and dishonorable to her WORD to Democrats and voters. I really feel for all those people who are literally scorned by Corina’s ugly departure as they put their hearts into helping her and not even a thank-you. Corina, “your word is your bond and it is worth far more than what money can buy” and you can’t buy-back the gallons of respect and honor that you lost Corina — so sad!
AD can’t find their OWN candidates so they literally “scheme & work” to STEAL candidates & voters from the Democrats, which is really their Modus operandi” — pathetic & desperate poli-tricking to win at any cost! Get your own candidates AD and a real Platform as I know you are sitting back laughing at Democrats and your new candidate Corina. But I think it’s not going to be a laughing matter for Corina who is going to learn the hard-way before this is over that you two old-men were just using her, as it’s Corina catching all the blow-back for making the kaduku mistake of joining you AD, for TRUE!
FYI readers and voters, AD have been contacting MOST of the Democrats in the House trying to get them to join their team just like the Governor tried with Ambrosio to rig-the-House for Angel, as it seems to be in the Republicans’ DNA to undermine the opposition rather than promoting their OWN merits — it’s really pathetic. They were truly on a mission to destroy the Democrat Party from within, but fortunately Corina was the ONLY weak-link that EVERYONE can now see. The AD team is out there conniving to use-People & Families to get to Democrat Officials and Candidates to join them — now that’s Godfather Stuff just like the Governor for TRUE! I keep telling readers that AD are Republicans just like the Governor and to expect something different from AD is teetering on INSANITY, as they are the SAME ANIMAL figuratively! If the Governor hadn’t got caught Arnold would still be with him and “blind-eyed & silent” and anyone who thinks differently need to get a “REALITY CHECK-UP” from me — for REAL! Poor Corina if she really believes Arnold is somehow different from the Governor, he’s just more “tactful” due to his experience as both of them are the SAME with their antiquated conservative Republican style of Governing when the CNMI needs “LIBERAL Leadership and minds” to fix and improve the CNMI.
I think many voters will want to add Corina to the Fallen Angels making it the “UNLUCKY-13” now and the number is truly appropriate and maybe even prophetic. I know for a fact Corina didn’t help AD but in fact EXPOSED them for what they really are — two politicians with no respect who have to figuratively resort to “cultural-extortion using people & family members” to pressure and even STEAL candidates from the Democrats and I have plenty of PROOF! I’m just glad the Party learned an early but expensive lesson that has truly served to make the Party and the Party’s Candidates BETTER in the future as I’m sure the Party will make sure from now-on that all elected officials and candidates are “Loyal Above ALL, except for Honor.” And I will share this wisdom that my MaDear taught me for all: “Be smart but learn from your mistakes, as its expensive to be dumb — what don’t kill you, can only make you better, but don’t get bit by the same snake twice” voters. Thanks for the expensive lesson, Corina but I truly believe that WE the People are going to teach YOU a real poli-tricking lesson come Judgment Day.
One people, One Direction.
