He’s “unpopular” because the standard lib attack machine has been hounding him day after day and he does/did what EVERY GOP does in that situation:
Nothing. No fighting back, no stepping behind the microphone and camera and challenging them and their BS, nothing.
I guess they think it’s “noble” or something.
To me, it’s just cowardice.
Corbett’s mantra seems to be “hey, I tried.” After failing on liquor reform, preventing a rise in taxes (after what he did with the gas tax), and pension reform. That’s not good enough. He deserves to lose.
There’s nothing immoral about calling B.S. to some claims made by an enemy, especially if untrue.
Holding grudges is a separate matter.
