I have never heard of Tom Wiens until he announced his campaign but nevertheless I am impressed. I like the beginning of the video where he says “Right now if you are at the top, you should get a bailout. If you are at the bottom, you should get a handout. But if you are the rest of us in the middle, all we get is the bill.” It’s a good phrase to repeat over and over again to arouse populist sentiment. I think he may be a formidable opponent to Jane Norton.
he refers to us in the middle on his website. Franj Luntz hard at work.
I say – what about all the forgotten shareholders and creditors of Wiens’s own failed business ventures?
Absent major gaffe and with real $ he will be very competitive for the nomination.
Sometimes(most of the time)its those failures that make our leaders successful.
direct knowledge of his failed busiensses?
Shareholder? Creditor?
Or
Why does his “forgotten shareholders” matter? They invested with the known risk to anyone who invests in a company that all the value can be wiped out. It is true that one’s failures are one’s greatest learning experiences.. but anyway.. do you have a direct knowledge of his business history?
I just know there are always disgruntled, gruntled and less gruntled shareholders and creditors.
And I’m curious whether any of them would prefer Wiens address their loss before he addresses ours and if so whether any of their gripes are legitimate or like you said, the result of the way the cookie crumbled.
Too much Brylcreem or too much Hairspray.
He gets to go after Norton and Bennet at the same time.
for any gifts like “Both Ways Bob”.
Although there’s that bit where he mentions he didn’t provide his employees with health care.
he really knows how hard it is sometimes to be a small business owner. I like him be up front with all of that rather than pretend like it’s all smooth sailing for someone with his amount of success.
Funny how that platitude has just as much depth as yours, but even I know it has jack shit to do with being a US Senator.
It teaches you to learn how to determine what matters, how to focus on it, and to make decisions based on things as they are, not as you wish they were. All very useful attributes in a Senator.
Those are the same skills Senator Bennet brings to the table.
not an executive office.
Wiens looks like a viable alternative, and one that has at least the potential to derail Norton.
I thought he did a solid job in that interview, and if I were to vote in the Republican primary at this point I’d vote for him in preference to Norton.
