Why all the Caroline Gleich hate?

[Meadow Skipper]

It's fine.

it's a tiktok thing, not targeted to boomers that post on tgr.

This.

She might be a little geeky and a touch unsophisticated, but AFAIK she’s got to be better than her opposition.

i just think it is a bad ad. that is all.

For sure.

That ad is way less cringe than most of the 'of course I am...' clips, which are just kinda hard to watch stupid fun vids for kids.

Not much to get worked up about, imho. There are much, much worse political ads out there.

Really? From where I’m sitting the messaging was pretty clear.

Establishes that the ad is for a younger demographic, establishes that she is an ‘outsider’ which is one of the main points of her campaign, addresses UT air quality and women’s health access which are both winning points with the intended demographic, and then asks for money.

If you don’t have anything to say beyond you don’t like the commercial, the line about something you don’t like but can’t put your finger on it was written for you, regardless of the fact that she is 10+ years your senior.

Okay. Since it means so much to you, I now like the ad and think it is good.

I think the video also establishes that she is a woman running for senate which I wasn’t clear on so I’m glad she set the record straight on that.

Well, her delivery was better than Britt of Alabama. So, she's got that going for her.

[yeahman]

I don't know why she even bothers with X. Nobody in her target demographic still uses that dumpster fire of a platform.

How will this affect your vote?

I thought the ad was fine. It really feels like the entire point of the ad is that some people won't like her because she's a woman. Some of you in this thread consistently prove her right. :shrug:

[The SnowShow]

^^^ I can’t speak for others but the ad is just awkward and that has nothing to do with her being a woman.

[Harry]

10/10 would bang.

Fact.

trash post.

how about we try not to minimize someone in the skiing community to whether you'd bang them or not. it's gross.

Would you say this shit to her face?

[schindlerpiste]

I won't vote for her. I don't think that she has ever held any political, or public office? What about business in the private sector? Does she have any experience, other than skiing? I think that if she really has a platform/agenda, she could get a lot more accomplished by climbing the ladder, at least a little. Maybe run for council person, or some other local position, instead of swinging for the fences her first time at bat. Having said that Harry's post is ok, and I'd bet that there are at least a few mags out there who would say that to her at a bar, or maggot safety stop with beers flowing, smokeables being passing and standing around a stoked fire pit.

Do you realize this thread is filled with those types of protestations? It's a bit old.

[NBABUCKS1]

fair points on her experience to be in politics. I'd argue there's a lot of people who have zero qualifications to be in politics but *gesture around* here we are.

well i guess so long as we are fucked up on something it's cool to say those things to young women in the skiing community. rad place, i'm sure lots of women feel safe and comfortable around that.

[Meadow Skipper]

I won't vote for her.

Kind of depends on who else is running. But my impression of most other Ootah politicians has me thinking I go in on her.

The creeper vibe from old men in here is, creepy
Bucks is correct

actual zero experience in politics or business is kinda rare? the earlier mocked Britt worked for the Senator including COS and held politically networked positions elsewhere.

The national Democratic machine selected her as the most suitable candidate. They are backing her financially and fundraising using her image across the country. Its not like she got up one morning and made the decision by herself, prominent Democrat organizations are supporting her.

Looking at the candidates list, there isn't a legitimate Dem challenger for her. On the GOP side, I hope Curtis gets the nomination because he is **relatively** moderate and has a track record of getting things done while he was Provo mayor.

Still would rather have her represent me than anyone else on the ticket.

I'll continue my strategy of voting for the least insane republican in the primary (registered repub in closed utah primaries) and vote dem in the general.

I know Gleich has a long history of lobbying congress on environmental issues and has been involved in Utah politics for a long time. I'd rather have a smart person who I agree with on issues than some idiot who's held office for years on the back of shitty opinions and lobbyists.

Isn’t someone who lobby’s Congress a lobbyist?

[I've seen black diamonds!]

She's more charming as a politician than as a skier. Lower bar. I expect politicians to be phony and talk at me like I'm an idiot.

I hope she wins.
