    Because we are not stupid in Connecticut.

    There are a lot of reasons that people individually chose to vote for Chris Murphy. For your question about why NOT to vote for Linda McMahon, a few of my personal reasons are below:

    -She has never been involved in politics until she attempted to buy a seat in the senate. Her inexperience was VERY evident in the debates, where she couldn't appropriately respond to how a junior senator would be heard on the senate floor. (See Debate link below to watch.) The debates were borderline intolerable to watch. The hecklers she brought in were just juvenile and repulsive.

    -She essentially just copied the Republican platform, and tried to pass it off as her own. Perhaps so if she won she could say "See! That's MY plan!" when in fact it isn't? (See Plagiarism link below.)

    -She started saying she was Independent as well as Republican, and that you can vote for whoever you want for President, but still vote for her. Where did she really stand on issues then? Who was she in this for?

    -She flaunted her money by pointing out that she was funding this race herself, but then that she was "one of you" because she went through bankruptcy. (Which, by the way, she never fully repaid as she professed. See Bankruptcy link below.)

    -She made claims about providing healthcare to her employees. But this was misleading- they don't consider their "performers" as employees. "WWE performers are independent contractors. They do not have corporate responsibilities or duties. ... WWE performers are personally responsible for acquiring their own health insurance, life insurance and financial planning." (See Healthcare link below.)

    There are many other reasons that people had, her chosen business of the wrestling entertainment industry alone is one possible reason, as well as the coldness she puts out there. For me, the Facebook post by a non-Connecticut resident who used to work with Linda, which outlined several more points as to why people shouldn't vote for her, was additionally convincing. (See FB Post link below.)

    guy, I even have been questioning an identical subject. communicate some substantial hollow interior the storyline. the entire subject replaced right into a shaggy dog tale. i assumed that it may be comparable to Wrestlemania 23, with the fued culminating at Summerslam and Vince triumphing uncooked lower back. It replaced into merely brutal. What a waste of time. It replaced into merely stupid. It replaced into poorly planned and it didnt't make any experience in any respect. i replaced into questioning an identical subject whilst i replaced into observing it. the only rational end i ought to arise with, or perhaps it is stretching it, replaced into that even stressful Donald Trump replaced into the hot proprietor of uncooked, Vince nonetheless owned WWE as an entire, and subsequently he could could desire to undergo the countless losses uncooked incured. stupid i understand, yet it is the appropriate i ought to arise with.

    Ct is a blue state. Had she run as a democrat she would have had a good chance to win.
