Who would have ever thought that Utah, as close to a theocracy as America has seen, could out-California The Fruitcake State?
Well.....it has!
2 transgender Democrats nominated in Western GOP strongholds
extracted from story in blue below:
SALT LAKE CITY — Democrats in some of the reddest pockets of the interior West have nominated transgender women for Congress, sending a message of inclusivity in races many consider unwinnable for the party.
Misty Snow was nominated Tuesday in Utah to challenge GOP U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, and Misty Plowright won a primary to challenge Republican Colorado Rep. Doug Lamborn in the state’s most conservative congressional district.
Both candidates are downplaying gender identity in their primary contests.
“Yeah, I’m trans, but the simple fact of the matter is that a lot of people just don’t care,” said Plowright, 33, a first-time candidate who decided to run after attending Democratic presidential caucuses earlier this year and being inspired by the presidential campaign of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Well, they are Democrats so the surprise is somewhat mitigated. But to steal the march on California? WOW! Who's next, Texas?
