MADE UP MOMENTUM: 51 problems and her campaign is one

October 31, 2018 by Team NDGOP in Heidi Heitkamp

Following her lackluster debate performance Friday, Heidi Heitkamp’s campaign has tried to convince voters they have momentum simply by telling voters they have momentum.

Their fake-it-till-you-make-it strategy isn’t working, as a brand new poll out tonight shows Heidi Heitkamp losing a majority of her constituents to Kevin Cramer:

LET’S BE CLEAR: Cramer’s lead is no fluke, and Heidi Heitkamp’s deficit is well deserved.

As CNN explains in the story below, while she was already on the brink of defeat, Heitkamp opposed her constituents by voting against Justice Kavanaugh, then outed victims of sexual assault without their consent in a political attack ad. North Dakotans know this isn’t a campaign that deserves to win:

Morning Joel?

October 30, 2018 by Team NDGOP in Heidi Heitkamp

Heidi Heitkamp’s brother and de-facto campaign spokesman Joel continued his auditions for a spot on MSNBC this morning, and it’s safe to say it didn’t go well.

First, when forced to answer for Heidi Heitkamp outing sexual assault victims without their consent, Joel said people had accepted her apology and moved on:

REALITY CHECK: Victims of Heitkamp said her actions “downright ruined our lives.” Many of the victims didn’t hear from Heidi, and the ones who did said a mere phone call was insufficient.

But Joel didn’t stop there. When asked about his sister being down in the polls, Joel bragged about having access to her internal polling and lashed out at MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki:

Kornacki, for his part, took the high road and called it like it is: team Heitkamp just doesn’t want to admit they’re behind.

Joel’s personal attacks and outlandish behavior come as no surprise to those who know him, since this is the same man who called Trump a racist for helping hurricane victims and released the divorce papers of a radio show host with a bigger platform than his.

LET’S BE CLEAR: Though it’s clearly not going well, Joel Heitkamp is going on MSNBC to look for a job because he expects Heidi to lose. If he plans to keep making comments like these, Heidi should start looking, too.

The Biden-Heitkamp Agenda

October 29, 2018 by Team NDGOP in Heidi Heitkamp

Heidi Heitkamp has spent her campaign cozying up to President Trump, hoping voters forget her liberal record.

But now in a moment of desperation, Heitkamp is bringing Joe Biden, the second highest ranking official of an administration that:

Offered amnesty
Protected late-term abortion
Caused premiums to skyrocket
Burdened the agriculture industry with the WOTUS regulation
Put energy jobs at risk with the Clean Power Plan and BLM Flaring Rule
And told North Dakota’s small businesses, “You didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”

This is the agenda Heitkamp supported nearly 90% of the time.

“Heidi Heitkamp supported the Obama-Biden agenda even when it was wrong for North Dakota,” said North Dakota Republican Party Communications Director Jake Wilkins. “Joe Biden won’t be able to make North Dakota voters forget Heitkamp’s anti-North Dakota record.”

NDGOP Statement on Heidi Heitkamp Losing Another Debate

October 26, 2018 by Team NDGOP in Heidi Heitkamp

North Dakota Republican Party Communications Director Jake Wilkins issued the following statement on another debate victory from Kevin Cramer:

“Just less than two weeks from being ousted, Heidi Heitkamp seems to have perfected the art of Washington doublespeak that North Dakotans have come to resent. Heidi’s out-of-touch, liberal record was again on full display tonight; and North Dakotans are ready to reject her campaign of lies, manufactured controversy, and grave errors in judgement.”

Farmers: Heidi’s Political Pawns – NDSen Debate

October 26, 2018 by Team NDGOP in Agriculture

Heidi Heitkamp has spent the entire election cycle trying to use North Dakota’s farmers, ranchers, and producers as political pawns.

REMINDER: Heitkamp makes these attacks because a pillar of Heitkamp’s campaign strategy is fanning the flames of farmer’s fears.

Throughout the entire Farm Bill process, Heitkamp has put politics above North Dakota’s farmers.

Her attacks increased when Kevin Cramer was appointed to the Farm Bill Conference Committee, a major win for North Dakota, but Heitkamp didn’t see it that way, labeling his appointment “politics at its worst.”
In stark contrast, Rep. Cramer congratulated Sens. Heitkamp and Hoeven when they were also appointed.

Heitkamp has changed her stance on agriculture-related issues just to score political points:

Heitkamp voted in 2014 to eliminate agriculture subsidies.
- Heitkamp this year attacked Cramer for being part of a group where some members supported eliminating some subsidies.
When the House adjourned this year without finishing the Farm Bill, Heidi Heitkamp attacked Kevin Cramer for not demanding the House go back into session.
- When the Senate adjourned without finishing the Farm Bill, Heitkamp said nothing.
Heitkamp supported the 2014 Farm Bill that trimmed food stamps, but this year Heitkamp attacked the Trump-Cramer Farm Bill for including food stamp reforms.

Heidi’s Unacceptable Judgment – NDSen Debate

October 26, 2018 by Team NDGOP in Heidi Heitkamp

Heidi Heitkamp outed victims of sexual assault without their consent, continued to campaign instead of apologize to the victims, then lied about it.

A week later, she seemed to have learned nothing, using a WWII veteran’s picture and story without his permission to tout her office’s own work.

LET’S BE CLEAR: Heidi Heitkamp exploits whoever she can for political gain. This was not an isolated incident, but rather consistently bad judgement from Heidi Heitkamp.
