Both Governor Stitt and AG Drummond spoke at the OKGOP Convention, but the continuing public battles prove Oklahoma doesn't need two parties to fight when ambition and ego take the stage.
These two candidates seem to be tone-deaf to the voters. Although they will use each other to elevate themselves by ensuring that one has the better of the other, they are tone-deaf to the huge applause for Merrick and the five-minute standing ovation for Jim Shaw at the GOP State Convention. This tells where the energy and support of the Oklahoma Republican Party is, and political policy always gravitates toward that energy. Energy is what gets out the vote. Energy is what creates excitement. These politicians will likely do the politically expedient thing and incorporate "grassroots" into their campaign verbiage, thinking they will capture the movement.
This is a good and clear listing of the grievances between these top state elected officials. This blog demonstrates their clear cluelessness about the electorate's mood.
Very well written, sir. Would like to see a true conservative in office somewhere. Anywhere. It sure isn't Gentner Drummond. Very few conservatives in office here. Mostly RINO's and they are everywhere at State and Federal levels. No spine in most of them.

Really nice work, David! Thank you for this!
