A limited subject is Micah Beckwith [FN1] & what can happen if delegates to the IN GOP state convention [FN2] (many of whom Beckwith will have recruited) choose Beckwith as GOP’s nominee for IN Lt Gov. Beckwith’s said he won’t be a “yes person” or ceremonial Lt Gov. 1/7

At HEPL [FN3] Beckwith parroted behavior of the House GOP in DC. Beckwith’s efforts impaired HEPL’s operations & cost a lot of $$$. Beckwith posted a photo of him & this month’s Speaker. Scant literature exists on how IN’s 2 major parties pick LtGov nominees. 2/7

Similarities exist in parties’ picks for VP nominees. E.g., Sen John McCain’s 2008 run for Pres was hurt by an ambitious but outspoken and clueless then-Gov Sarah Palin. [FN4] Beckwith is more ambitious, very outspoken and, hard to believe, probably more clueless than Palin. 3/7

A record will be set for most attack ads, in grainy black-and-white, of Beckwith at an HEPL meeting or Beckwith in a car selfie-video Yeah, those car selfies. Care to bet how long it takes for Beckwith to say the “Lord” told Beckwith the Governor is wrong about something? 4/7

The 1st message from “Lord” might even be upbeat. With each message the “Lord” will be more righteously behind Beckwith. And we need to remember, Beckwith has weapons training for his followers. This is real. 5/7
