> [@Rocket](#): > > My wife adores this guy. > My daughter hates him like fat kids hate gym class. To be honest, I haven’t looked much into the guy because: a) I don’t live in K-town b) I can’t vote c) I see him everywhere 24/7 and I’m starting to despise his media presence But if his position on cross strait relations is the one he stated, why do many people claim he’ll sell Taiwan out to China? Did he ever express a different point of view? Because if the argument is:“Well he says X but MAYBE what he really means is Y” then I’m afraid that mind-reading pundits are something I don’t pay a lot of attention to. ---

Ouch > The DPP’s ruling party has absolutely no power. Corruption is severe. There are three kinds of people who vote for the DPP. The first type of people are those who hate the Kuomintang. The second type of people are those who want Taiwanese independence. The third type of people are those who have suffered in the past and think that voting for the DPP will help them lead a better life. So the reason why DPP candidates aren’t high in the polls is because all three groups of people who vote for them are [now] disillusioned. ---

How did 🍊-man win? he got big disillusionment votes on both sides of the aisle. We all know KMT are/have been corrupt, but to call DPP clean is cognitive dissonance indeed.

Oh, I don’t disagree, but it’s a pretty bitter beer for a lot of the Greenie weenies. ---

It is really scary. I mean, the crowds, the media pandering. All Saturday morning before the rally TVBS was exhalting te benefits this rally brought to Hualien, the number of people, the money they dropped. Have you eaten anything? What did you buy? was their question to the Korean Fish fans. They made special mention that the drink stand laoban brought 3 times raw materials than usual. “Look, people eating traditional Aboriginal delicacy mountain pig!” :wall: Ough and the words out of the Fish mouth… > **[Experts, pundits critical of Han’s road-building vow - Taipei Times](https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2019/06/10/2003716658)** > > Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu’s (韓國瑜) pledge to extend the Shuishalian Freeway (Freeway No. 6) to Hualien County and to complete the around-the-island freeway system if elected president next year has met with criticism from government officials and...

I’m hearing Kaohsiung people would vote for him just to get him the f out of Kaohsiung. Something about making Kaohsiung better, but then immediately leaving to run for President after elected mayor. Not to mention the reports of 400,000 people in front of the presidential building during his rally two weekends ago. Hard to believe end of Ren Ai can hold the same amount of people as the Bird’s Nest in Beijing. ---

That is what worries me the most. The level of kowtowing, the grandiose elevation… of a guy who killed someone else while DUI. But no negative things are said, all is how good he is for teh economy, how much he is selling… while he is not actually doing anything. He´s either on the campaig trail or on vacation. I remember teh red shirt movement. Even though hsi followers remind me of the red shirts, they are even more fanatical. I understand most are civil servants pissed off at Tsai because she took away their 18% privilege, and they would go kamikaze in order to piss off the DPP/Tsai/Taiwanese. But how about the rest? Are they really being seduced by his smooth talk and false promises? Is he like those scammers that speak with authority and that is all it takes for them to give them everything, all their money and underwear? ---
