Time is running out --- Dan Donovan is deep in a hole in his race with Mike Grimm --- AND --- Jessica Proud just keeps digging it deeper
You all should have heard by now --- under pressure from >>> all polls <<< showing him WAY BEHIND GRIMM, Dan Donovan sent out his infamous anti-immigrant mailer that thoroughly lacked any humanity
According to Julianne Cuba's take on all of this, "Critics across the aisle are blasting the Bay Ridge congressman for hitting peoples’ doorsteps with what they charge is offensive anti-immigration propaganda just to win some votes in a contentious Republican primary election that has President Trump and his controversial policies at its center.... 'We need new leaders who campaign on hope and ideas, not fear and hate,' Army veteran Max Rose, a Democrat running to unseat Rep. Dan Donovan (R–Bay Ridge), wrote on Twitter. '[Donovan] thinks this kind of hateful imagery will win him an election in #NY11. He couldn’t be more wrong.' Donovan sent out hundreds of mailers this week to voters across his Ridge-to-Rock district week that read: 'Build the Wall. Enforce the Law — Only Unwavering Law and Order will Defeat Illegal Immigration.'... " (See "Donovan whacked by both sides over ‘hateful’ mailer" by Julianne Cuba, 6/7/18, Courier Life's Brooklyn Daily/ Party Line [https://www.brooklyndaily.com/stories/2018/23/pl-party-line-2018-06-08-bk.html]).
Where are the first string GOP consultants ?????
Without a doubt, incumbent Republican Congressman Dan Donovan had problems going into this year's elections. He and his handlers have made things much worse by leaving Jessica Proud in charge of a campaign that looks like it's being run by a bunch of amateurs.That's not from me, I'm only a humble blogger. It's from two longtime Brooklyn pols one of whom knows Donovan and Proud very well.
Maybe, our commenters can provide more detail on what I'm talking about; or maybe, somebody out there can set me straight.....
Proud is his press spokesperson. To the best of people's knowledge, she only screws up with reporters and news releases.
ReplyDeleteThe backfiring anti-immigrant mailer is from his direct mail consultants, who previously did Ted Cruz's presidential campaign. We all know well that worked out. Like, have they ever done a race outside the Bible Belt?
Julianne Cuba is a hack calling herself a journalist. She’s a member of Fight Back Bay Ridge a socialist group loyal to Justin Brannan. She basically writes any hit pieces against any Republican around. That said Jessica Proud has been outfoxed and beaten to the punch repeatedly, like when I’m repaonse to a big poll lead by Grimm she tweeted that “paid media” would carry the day for Donovan, not exactly a smart message to send to voters. Immigration huge issue on Staten Island and his campaign has been foolish to let open borders advocate Grimm take the mantle as a Trump Immigration Hawk. Team Donovan has made a lot of mistakes but immigration mailer wasn’t one of them. What Donovan has going for him now is Grimm has even more “out of town” consultants making boneheaded moves and irritating the natives ala Recchia.
ReplyDeleteJulianne Cuba sure gets under Farty Golden's skin. She must be doing something right.
ReplyDeleteThe posting is about Jessica Proud. The Donovan message she has been barking is working great for Grimm.
ReplyDeleteJulianne Cuba is a joke. She won’t submit copy until Justin the fat turkey approves of it.
ReplyDeleteJessica Proud is way out of her league. Has she ever played a meaningful role in any winning campaign?
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "IF NOT JESSICA, THEN WHO ???" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 3:01 PM"
BLAMING IT ON THE "OUTSIDE" DIRECT MAIL CONSULTANTS ??? REALLY !!! I MEAN >>> SERIOUSLY, REALLY !!! <<< DIDN'T ANYBODY INSIDE THE CAMPAIGN LOOK AT IMMIGRANT MAILER AND APPROVE IT ?????
Jessica Baby sure had a ready answer when it came "defending" where -- the image showing the badge; the red "X"; and the immigrant family running for their lives -- came from.....
If she isn't in charge of campaign messaging, then who would that be ?????
BTW, STOP FLAMING ON JULIANNE CUBA --- THE COVERAGE BY PAULA KATINAS IN THE BROOKLYN EAGLE WAS JUST AS NEGATIVE ABOUT DONOVAN'S MAILER
Cool your jets GM. Paula Katinas isn't a member of the socialist group Fight Back Bay Ridge. Cuba is a member and despises all Republicans. She's nice in public and at the meetings and says the worst things in front of Democrat operatives stupidly not realizing that there are Democrats who socialize with Republicans.
ReplyDeleteJulianne Cuba rules! Anyone who pisses Golden off as much as she does deserves a Pulitzer.
ReplyDeleteCuba has it right. Donovan made a mess out of this.
ReplyDeletedoes dan know his staff has made a deal with grimm
ReplyDeleteDoes Marty's memory have flaws or just his story. He reacted to Julianne by saying his on the job he disability was was caused when he was hit by a CAR. I think the story used to be that Marty was hit by a BUS.
ReplyDeleteI think the story is Marty was hit with 2/3 disability pension instead of half.
ReplyDeleteLiam made the smart move going with Grimm. Sad how backed the loser donovan and never got it together in state senate race.
ReplyDeleteJune 26 we will see how smart that move was.
ReplyDeleteAhahaha
What's really funny is that Mike Connors has a Mike Grimm lawn sign in front of his house. That looks like part of a Conservative Party dumpster fire in the making.
ReplyDeleteYou’ve gotta figure even Donovan is on to the Kassar con by now but maybe he just doesn’t care. But what was the point of keeping the entire BK Grimm Office intact with every one of them working a member of the Kings County Conservative party to have all of them work to elect Grimm again?
ReplyDeleteBecause Kassar rules and Eaton is afraid to make a move...while Liam is with Grimm as 1204am, Eaton is afraid to go against his arch nemesis Marty Golden...everyone know Craig can't stand Marty but Johnny Cats is keeping him quiet...poor fella
ReplyDeleteEaton is actually openly backing Dan Donovan and only Dan Donovan. They've been friends for years. When Donovan ran in the special election, Eaton's team helped and was involved and there was nothing Kassar could do about it. Kassar did get all the jobs though. Funny how things come full circle, now Dan is being helped by Eaton while Kassar has to plead with Donovan people that he's not a turncoat even though his favorite operatives like Liam McCabe and Bob Morgan are on the Grimm campaign.
ReplyDeleteRight now, Dan Donovan is the "dead man walking"; as soon as Grimm wins the GOP primary he will be the "dead man walking"; and on January 1st, Max Rose will be Congressman Max Rose.
ReplyDeleteTeam Rose has raised enormous amounts of money telling people that Mike Grimm is going to be the nominee. The well dries up once Dan wins the Primary and it all turns into “what might have been”.
ReplyDelete936
ReplyDeleteSo supposedly Eaton did all the work for Donovan in the special and Kassar got all the jobs???
Guess we know who has all the real power and influence ..by the way Kassar s folks still have all the jobs at Donovans Brooklyn office and Craig cane say boo...
Why isn't Craig going against his arch enemy Golden????????
10:48, let's say you're right about Rose's anti-Grimm crusade; why talk about Donovan winning the primary, that just isn't happening. Who really thinks that Dandy Dan can turn it around in two weeks?
ReplyDeleteAlmost everything 10:50 wrote is true. No question Jerry had the power and BK Office mostly Conservatives. The real question is since so many Kassar inner circle not only on Grimm campaign but waging savage personal attacks against Dan Donovan, isn’t obvious to Dan that Jerry has no integrity?
ReplyDeleteMike Connors was great in the Riflemen and a well known player in Kingston. Not many people know about the Kingston connection.
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious that Kassar has all the power and Eaton has none..
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete11:30 AM, are you insane or just pretending to be? Mike Connors, the Rifleman? Mike Connors, the Rifleman! The actor Mike Connors was MANNIX, not the Rifleman.
The actor "Chuck" Conners played the Rifleman; and he was known as Kevin Connors around OLPH, when that neighborhood was still part of Bay Ridge.
Besides, the Mike Connors, mentioned in the comments above as having the Grimm poster on his lawn, is a lawyer, ala Connors & Sullivan. He also happens to be State Senator Marty Golden's district office landlord.
Kassar has only so much power left. No matter what happens with Dan Donovan he is a loser. Even if Dan doesn’t care about his backstabbing, others in political circles have noticed. If Donovan wins Primary there is no way he is hiring Grimm staffers no matter what Jerry says or has promised them. If Grimm wins primary, they work for a few more months and then the entire BK Conservatice patronage in Congressional Office gone after Max Rose wins race.’
ReplyDeleteHey 1148.
ReplyDeleteWhy doesn't Donovan follow Eatons lead and fire Kassar people now in his brooklyn office now if Eaton is so close to him??
It's the same answer as always , no one listens to craig...they listen to Kassar...including John Cats, which is why Cats is supporting Golden and why Eaton can't say boo.
Wow the 12:10 minion is loyal and desperate. No one said Donovan is close to Eaton and no one knows if Donovan knows cares or has any time to pay attention to the double dealing let alone fire anyone. Cats and Kassar? The best he can hope for and the best that Golden is hoping for is that Cats has forgotten who he is. Anybody in the know is familiar with that situation.
ReplyDeleteThe Golden crowd is trying so hard to pretend that everything is like ten years ago when it isn't anymore, and never will be again. That dry blowing sound is all of them trying to whistle past the graveyard together so the boggie-man doesn't get them... BOOOOO!
ReplyDeleteAHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEH!
Hey 1223 pm
ReplyDelete936 am (aka Craig Eaton)
Bragged about Eaton being with Donovan
Still waiting for an answer as to why Eaton is not cominf out against Golden? Everyone in the know is familiar with the situation that Eaton hates Golden and everyone in the know knows Cats is with Golden and told Eaton to sit down and shut up, which he is doing in the race...so much for Craigs influence with Cats
1:26 you’re only making a fool out of yourself. How many times has Golden been on Cars radio program? Wait what? 0 Times? Enough said.
ReplyDeleteGolden will be on Cats show this month..then what will you say Craig?
ReplyDeleteFirst you said Cats himself saying Marty is mentoring Andrea via Twitter doesn't matter, then Cats himself sending out an email to most Brooklyn insiders saying he is supporting Golden despite what Eaton says doesn't matter, then Eaton not publicly going against Golden because of Cats supporting Marty..well the picture is clear..
Eaton is on an island by himself
What is Alexandra from Liam’s campaign doing with Michael Grimm........
ReplyDelete336
ReplyDeleteLiam is with Grimm??
3:15 if they told you to go jump off a bridge would you do it? You repeat all of the nonsense that they tell you. The truth is the email to Golden was hardly flattering it was just so that things wouldn't get out of control after an article that Bob Capano wrote. That's why Golden only showed it to a few people. The truth is that after all the shit they've tried to do to Cats they are afraid he will bankroll Gounardes actually terrified. So all this silliness about a one word tweet of mentoring. Desperation hysteria and paranoia. You know about as much as when Golden will appear on Cats program as who the next Kentucky Derby winner will be.
ReplyDeleteAll of Steeplechase is with Grimm. Liam, Alexandra, and her boyfriend Bob. Making Jerry look real good.
ReplyDeleteGolden is on the radio and nobody knows whose running against him. You need somebody to beat somebody
ReplyDelete411pm
ReplyDeleteSo you admit Cats is telling Capano and Eaton to be with Golden?????
Say what you will about Jerry Kassar but it’s brilliant that he’ll come out the winner in the Grimm-Donovan race no matter who wins.
ReplyDelete655 is right which is why Kassar is still a party CHAIRMAN who controls things and Eaton is gone and controls nothing
ReplyDeleteThis is some real inside scoop - Treyger screwed the pooch in the middle of the parlor rug with everybody watching - as a result, Gounardes is still the Dems' guy against Marty - so in the 22nd SD, it's Gounardes and Golden going for the Reform Party's state senate line - and Marty should get that 'endorsement' any day now...; any day now...; ahem! any day now...; yawn! any day now... You are getting sleepy....; any... gasp/gag/cough/snore! (well, by now you should know it well, god bless your dear little heart).
ReplyDeleteWhy is Eaton afraid to endorse against his arch enemy Golden?????????
ReplyDeletebecause eaton is a republican
ReplyDeletewho is running against marty?
ReplyDelete10:39, you must a denizen of cool dark places, deep dank caverns, or bunker-like root cellars built well into the northeast side of a hill.
ReplyDeleteAndrew Gounardes has been circulating state senate petitions for over a week, lots of signatures are in the can, and he is the Democrat Organization's choice; Ross Barkan, well let's see what he files, if anything.
I live in New Dorp and most houses have a lawnsign for grimm
ReplyDeleteEverybody is with Grimm.
ReplyDelete930
ReplyDeleteSo even Eaton supports Golden!
Great news...exactly as we have been stating here on this blog !!!

ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 12:40 AM"
IN ADVANCE, LET ME APOLOGIZE TO DIRT --- BUT "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 12:40 AM" MUST BE AS DUMB AS DIRT
Eaton supports Golden about as much as Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus, Gaius Cassius Longinus and Marcus Junius Brutus supported Julius Caesar on March 15th 44 BC.
Golden's minions can call him "Dictator Perpetuo" and "Pontifex Maximus" as much as they like, but none of it will stop the bleeding once "all accounts are settled."
Gale
ReplyDeleteThen why doesn't Eaton come out against him??????? His silence speaks volumes as Johnny Cats is with Marty and therefore Eaton is silent.
Golden and Cats will win..
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "WHERE'S THE BEEF" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 7:38 AM"
I HAVE SEEN VERY LITTLE EVIDENCE THAT JOHN CATSIMATIDIS IS >>> WITH <<< MARTY GOLDEN --- AND EATON HAS REPEATEDLY COME OUT >>> AGAINST <<< THE VERY SAME MARTY GOLDEN --- MOST RECENTLY THE BITCH-SLAPPING THAT BOTH GOLDEN & GHORRA GOT WHEN THEY BOTH SUFFERED A HUMILIATING COCK-BLOCK WHEN GHORRA TRIED TO STEP UP TO THE NYS/NYC GOP VICE CHAIRMANSHIP
To quote Frankie Valli "Silence is Golden"; that's especially true when working sub rosa.
Gale
ReplyDeletePlease include a link to any news story of Eaton being critical of Golden.
The Catsimatidis public tweets a long with emails show clearly Cats is with Marty..

ReplyDeleteI wonder if Jerry Kassar will show up to Grimm rally at Spumoni Gardens tomorrow. His closest friends are organizing the event after all.
ReplyDeleteKassar always wins..
ReplyDeleteEaton and Capano always lose.
