Now that’s some goddam chutzpah. You almost have to respect that kind of narcissistic cluelessness. I may vote for her. She obviously has nothing else going on in her life so she wd clearly be dedicated.

I can't vote for her.
Those bribe accepting, bra stuffing pictures removed all credibility from her in my eyes. Then she called it a setup? Chutzpah indeed.

I would vote for her a 1000 times before I would vote for Charlie baker, the slimeball supporter of susan-the-trump-lover collins.

You’d rather vote for a politician twice convicted of crimes committed as part of her being a state senator than.... someone whose policy positions don’t jive with you?

There’s what’s wrong with politics in America in a nutshell.

Something along the lines of 'I wasn't prepared to accept that much money so HAD to stuff it in my bra.!'

Sorry about that.

Some people have no shame. And that also goes for anyone who would vote for her.

Could use more liquor licenses

The bra must be ready to receive new donations.

If she served her time, then good luck!

"She Served Her Time" is the cornerstone for any good campaign foundation. Shows real commitment and dedication.

If Buddy can try so can you!

once ran on the slogan ‘He Did It For A Friend”. She could adopt that to go along with your excellent suggestion. Tradition!

Ah, past performance does not necessarily predict future results.

Do you feel the sane about sex offenders?

Low expectations for the Wakanda sequels.

If she runs she will win. Will she be able to get a pension or did she forfeit her pension because of her bribery conviction?

I could never understand why folks in her district kept voting for her but they did. Keep electing known corrupt politicians. There is no doubt the fools in her district will vote for her again.

Good luck to them.

Monica Cannon Grant and her husband
can be treasurer .... Grifters unite.

Dianne's done her time and Monica hasn't been indicted...yet.
