Looks like self-proclaimed “moderate” Democrat Senator Joe Donnelly is pandering to the far-left #resistance base by fundraising off of his opposition to Trump. Too bad that base is too liberal for Indiana.
In a fundraising email sent earlier this week, Senator Donnelly urges donors to chip in to protect his seat from “becoming another yes vote for the Trump-GOP agenda.” Only problem is President Trump carried Indiana by nearly 20 points in the 2016 election. In November, Hoosiers spoke loud and clear that they want change in Washington. Touting his obstructionism is further proof of Joe Donnelly’s tone-deaf campaign.
Donnelly’s hard turn to the left hasn’t gone unnoticed. Earlier this week, an IndyStar columnist wrote highlighted the emergence of a “feistier” Joe Donnelly. The article notes Donnelly is “using these words to raise money and rally the Democratic base.” But don’t you think this angle is out of touch with Indiana voters?
