Someone was busy lashing out at all of his enemies on Twitter. As usual, they’re all Democrats. He derides the party apparatus as a “country club” that you have to “pay to get in” with “cash or your independence.”

This is another way of saying that party politics is hard work and takes lots of moving parts to run. In the unlikely event that those parts are moving somewhat in sync, things still go wrong. The party committee and rank & file members overwhelmingly support Poloncarz and Zellner. And Hochul. And Hardwick, whom Nate denigrates as a “Trumper”.

Nate should tell all of the hard-working people who do genuinely tough jobs in the private and public sectors that they’re just paid-for lackeys who have no independence. If ECDC is a “country club” it’s a pretty easy one to get into, and it has the charm and appeal of an Arby’s.

Ask literally any Democrat who does work for the party and its candidates if they’re proud of the work they did for McMurray. Then ask them if they’re still on speaking terms with him.

So many people did so much for him and if they’re not in the Cult of Nate, they’re garbage to him. They’re sellouts. They’re bought-and-paid-for. They’re part of a “gravy train.” Did Nate lash out at you and call you names, or accuse you of having worked against him? We want to hear your story.

Make no mistake. It’s not that this guy hates the gravy train – it’s that he burned too many bridges to benefit from it and now he wants to fashion his own gravy train from scratch.

I see he’s at least gotten a bit more accurate about how long Poloncarz has been in office as CE. I wonder where he gets his information that Mark “hates his job”. That’s just insane levels of gaslighting. I guess it’s easy for the former counsel for Delaware North, with which he is still (barely) in litigation, to shit all over the Bills stadium deal, but does he realize that the downtown Seneca casino has been there since 2007? Last time I checked, it would have been opened under Joel Giambra’s tenure. But, as usual, Nate doesn’t know what he’s talking about even as to the details – the Seneca deal was negotiated by Governor Pataki and the County exercises no control or authority over any of it.

I’ve been to London and there’s no stadium downtown. I hardly think LA is a place for Buffalo to emulate any more than it already has. I mean, pick an example that backs up your argument!

Nate – you are in for a fun time as you go around to all the committeepeople whom you’ve insulted and denigrated. Have a great time!

Glaring Marsha Blackburn forced into awkward standoff with reporter outside tardy elevator



A sluggish elevator forced Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) into an awkward confrontation with a local TV reporter seeking answers about her gubernatorial campaign.

The MAGA senator is the frontrunner in the Republican primary for Tennessee governor, but she's refusing to debate her GOP rivals and has refused to give interviews with reporters, so the delayed elevator at an event in Nashville forced her into a tight spot with WTVF-TV's Ben Hall.

"Senator, can we ask you about your run for governor?" Hall said.

An aide told the reporter Blackburn didn't have time for questions, but Hall said reporters were told she would speak with the media.

"Well, we were told you were going to answer some questions," Hall said. "Why don't you have time to talk? Should you talk to voters about what you plan to do as governor?"

Blackburn glared at the reporter as she waited for the elevator, and Hall asked why she would not debate her GOP opponents.

"We're talking to Tennesseans every single day, every single day," Blackburn replied.

Hall asked whether voters had a right to hear about her plans if elected governor, and she retreated to her talking point.

"We are talking to individuals every single day," she repeated.

Hall continued pressing the senator for answers about taxpayer subsidies to lure the Starbucks headquarters to Tennessee and other campaign issues, and Blackburn continued repeating her talking point as she continued to wait for the elevator to arrive.

"Are you uncomfortable talking about issues surrounding the campaign?" Hall asked, and Blackburn insisted she wasn't. "Then why won't you sit down and do interviews? We've asked you for interviews multiple times."

Blackburn turned to her talking point once again before the elevator finally ended her stalemate.

"She's running out the clock, and it may be a political strategy," said longtime conservative commentator Steve Gill, publisher of the TriStar Daily. "I'm not sure it's a policy strategy, and she may pay a price for it down the road because voters won't know what she really stands for."

Early voting starts in three weeks, and the winner of the GOP primary will be a heavy favorite to win the November election.

"That is not the look that you want from someone who's asking to be the chief executive officer of the state of Tennessee, who ought to be able to fully discuss issues," Gill said.
