Alan Grayson, the terrible person that progs temporarily had a crush on just after Weiner and before Warren and Sanders, managed to outdo himself by losing two elections in one day. It's a new record for a guy even most Democrats now hate and lefties are embarrassed to remember they loved.
Florida Congressman Alan Grayson and his new wife, Dena Grayson, wanted to be the first husband-wife team to serve in the U.S. Senate and House at the same time.
Instead the two became co-losers in Tuesday’s primaries.
Alan Grayson was crushed by his fellow congressman, Patrick Murphy, in the U.S. Senate race. And Dena Grayson — who married Alan Grayson mid-campaign and changed her last name over Memorial Day weekend as she ran for his congressional seat — lost in a three-way race won by state Sen. Darren Soto.
I don't know why Grayson thought voters loved him so much that they would even vote for his new wife, after being hit with domestic abuse allegations by his former wife, It might be that he's a delusional egomaniac.
Of course Grayson was noble and gracious in defeat. And by that I mean that he refused to endorse the guy who beat him because he's a "Republican". But if he'd really wanted to hurt Murphy, he would have endorsed him.
The Graysons’ marriage had a political hue. According to numerous sources, Alan Grayson repeatedly boasted that he would marry her, give her his name and that she would win as a result. After the two were married, he appeared in commercials with her and at tele-town hall forums.
Maybe she should have run under her maiden name instead.
Alan Grayson knew he was defeated long before the last ballots were cast Tuesday. He barely advertised, and he didn’t disclose his whereabouts to the press earlier on Election Day. He and Dena Grayson — who largely shied away from the press and tried to win on an ad campaign based heavily on Grayson’s name — said little Tuesday night when it was clear each had lost.
To the Fuhrerbunker!
