I'm not saying she's got my vote yet, but I appreciate that watching the @TiffanyBond campaign is like watching me run for Congress.https://twitter.com/TiffanyBond/status/944558271637217281 …

So why wouldn’t you want a candidate in one of those parties who does speak to you?
Here is how it feels as a candidate..
Am I GOP anymore? No, the party changed. I still have an eye on budget, but...
Go visit Dems - not really a moderate friendly place, no interest in party line pressure, wouldn't survive a primary from my not left enough views.

Michaud was a moderate and he held the seat as a Democrat for quite awhile.

Not in this toxic political climate. I have nothing against the GOP or the Dems - but I am fundamentally not really either. I am a bad liar. I don't pretend well. If it's ok to be partyless anywhere, it's going to be in Maine.

Check out greens - not really a green either. Decide to be me; beholden to good laws. Get side-eye periodically for not joining clubs. If 2016 taught us anything, it might be that party primaries put forward candidates focused on party loyalty, not the job.

Bingo. Party affiliation is too limiting for moderates of any stripe these days. And until the parties see that and fix it, independent is our only option.

Now I'm really going to the dump before the ice storm. Really. Truly. Any second now....

sounds like you already tow the party line if you think GOP has ever had anything to do with fiscal responsibility.

I am not associated with any parties that don't practice what they preach
