Putting the "loser" in sore loser

Upon losing the MNGOP primary for US Senate, Adam Schwarze put out a rather passive-aggressive statement in the immediate aftermath.





While there were no congratulations extended to winning candidate Michele Tafoya, Schwarze at least implied that Republicans need to unify when he emphasized the need for "a complete and total victory this November." So while his statement was left wanting, at least he didn't lash out given he was likely quite salty over his defeat. 


Unfortunately for Schwarze, his bitterness ultimately did get the best of him.





The insinuation of course is Tafoya is Option A in that scenario. At best, Schwarze is susceptible to out of context sound clips where Tafoya discusses these issues, and at worst he's a flat out liar. 


I had an opportunity to talk to Schwarze on last Sunday's broadcast. I appreciated his passion, even if he came off as kinda spazzy. And he spent more time denigrating Tafoya than touting his own background, so his animosity here is no surprise. 


You can glean a lot from a candidate in how they react to an election loss. While I am willing extend Schwarze some grace in what was his first rodeo, his echoing Action 4 Larceny Liberty chanting points by suggesting there's no difference between a moderate Republican and the far, far, far left Peggy Flanagan will only harm any future endeavors into electoral politics.
