I certainly hope I don't have to spend the next four years reading about Lisa McDonald blaming everyone but Lisa McDonald for her loss!
Lisa must not have gotten feedback from the many many people I spoke with while out campaigning for RT....the people who were considering voting for Lisa but after they met her, they found her to be "negative" and "unlikeable." Now, are all of those people playing into sexist stereotypes, as Lisa would like to think, or....could it be remotely possible that Lisa actually comes across as negative and unlikeable? Pardon me if I choose to believe the latter....
Her thinly veiled endorsement of the mayor is also a joke....she's spent the past four years railing against everything the mayor has done, criticizing the Sayles Belton administration at virtually every turn. But now Lisa sees the mayor as a more desirable opponent in four years, and lo and behold, suddenly Sharon is a "great professional" while RT is just a big meanie who makes fun of her hearing impairment. (Pardon me if I don't hop on board believing that accusation, by the way.) This sounds like someone who cares more about what's best for Lisa McDonald than what's best for the city of Minneapolis. EXACTLY someone we don't want as our mayor...in four years or ever.
And since she mentioned the number of times it took Dayton to become Senator...on a side note, I know from working with Mark that the reason he won last year is because he blames nobody but HIMSELF for his previous losses. If Lisa spends the next four years doing absolutely zero personal introspection, rest assured she won't be nearly as successful.
