Gunn? Gunn who?

Best News in a while!!

Oh no! I don’t want him or the Lt governor RINOS! I’ll stay home and not vote

Anyone is better than little king tater tot…I mean anyone!

Oh boy. Maybe he can screw that up too!

no thank you

We don’t need or want a 1960’s kind of governor.

What is it that he has done or failed to do that qualifies him to be a RINO, or that he has screwed up?

Good.

Everyone that is running on the Republican side is absolutely awful. I say this as a Republican.

Gunn is absolutely terrible. He changed the state flag in a back room deal, against most of his constituents wishes. And, against a ballot measure that was firmly opposed to change.

Gunn is the worst or the worst. A common dullard.

Our organization hosted an event at the capital years ago when he was the speaker. Before meeting him, I had a high opinion. The event was starting, people getting in place, Gunn came in, smiled, shook hands with everyone. I needed to get him in place. Unfortunately, nobody told him he was actually going to have to acknowledge and listen to a female. When he finally looked down at me, I could have rung his neck.

So, no, I would never vote for this person because of that experience.

So he hasn’t announced it yet but is planning to do it next week? Shows gubmint logic….😂

No one in Mississippi politics is more trustworthy.

He’s a RINO!

Of there is or has been a Mississippi politician who is more arrogant than this guy, please point him out. I'll wait.

We used to say, "Savus from Mabus", and now it's, "If he's gonna run, please save us from Gunn!"

Let's start with the state flag debacle. Whether you supported the removal of the flag, or not, he and RINO Delbert (and Tater) took a chicken-shit way out and lied about 'the will of the people'. Gunn, in three words, Can't be Trusted.

PUKE

So Phil is gunning for governor.

What is terrible about a Republican (the party of Lincoln) seizing the opportunity to get rid of a flag that was put in place by treasonous Democrats only after their Reconstruction era chaperones (you probably call them Carpetbaggers) left the State?

Gunn, Gunn you say? Is it one of those insult rifles?

Too many are running for Governor.

If elected will there be a separation of Church and State?

AWFUL loser RINO. Awful awful awful. Gosh there is no worse decision than voting for this guy. What a spineless RINO. If we want 8 more years of the same in Mississippi we will sure as hell get it with Gunn. PLEASE vote Duff.

Let's hope the sun has set on his political career. Im still pissed how he handled the flag change. Did it need to be changed? Probably so, but not the way Gunn did it. Will not get my vote.

he is a man of integrity - I know that

The Republican primary will be funny & entertaining no matter how many of the usual suspects join this WWE "cage match".

Anyone using the term RINO is the actual RINO. I’m a republican but because I haven’t joined the frothing-at-the-mouth MAGA cult they would say I’m a RINO. In reality, they’re the ones who have moved away from the Republican Party.

I’ve been waiting for this to come out. Gunn is the best of the bunch in my opinion. I’ve dealt with him personally, and I consider him a stand up guy. I can’t believe people are still mad about the flag issue. It was time for a change. Just let it go.

Meet ur next governor. I could not figure out who Mississippi was going to make their next governor. No need to vote in that race. Republicans are large and in charge and they predetermine for u. I have dubs that this is their man. I wish we could turn it into sports betting so we could at least participate and benefit.

I remember the flag. I'll never vote for Gunn; not even for dog catcher!!!!

Now THAT's a VERY low bar indeed.....

Neither Dunn nor Guff will make any damn difference. Place holders.

Speaker Gunn, thank you and other legislative leaders for having the balls to do what absolutely had to be done to fix the stupid-ass non-sense started by segregationists and justified as history. Sometimes boldness to do the only thing possible to course correct for the betterment of everyone requires sacrifice. You and others did that.

Rhinos are cool animals with a BIG horny face. I like Rhinos and you should too. I will vote for my favorite Rhino 🦏

Better than the guy in the cowboy hat

That he was in favor of women being forced to carry a rapist's fetus and not even allowing prevention immediately after the rape, is why I will never vote for him. I don't vote for men who are that ignorant about biology and think a single tadpole larve that isn't even a tadpole yet is a frog. He should at least be consistent and require a miscarried fetus to have a funeral and burial rites.

No where is that concept codified in our Constitution.

Phil, thanks for checking in.

Blue or red, left or right, RINO or yellow-dog, I just do not give a shit anymore, because no substantive change comes from either side. Instead I‘ll vote third party or, if no third party candidate entered the race, I’ll not mark my ballot for that contest.

Oh, I know, I know, before you even say it, I’m just throwing away my vote on someone who has no chance of winning. My response is if you vote for the ultimate winner because he had the best chance of winning while I voted for the candidate with no chance, what did you win that I did not win? Answer: nothing. Well, except maybe some smug satisfaction in reminding me that you picked the winner.

But a vote isn’t a wager; there’s no payoff for picking the winner between one of two repugnant sycophants. If enough vote your conscience, we’ll scare the shit out of the OG pigs who are jaws deep in the good ol’ boy slop trough of politics.

Lots of posts here blaiming Gunn for the flag. Yall got such short memoreis...Dontcha yall remember Bennie Thompson being asked after we voted on keeping the old flag "If We Would Ever Vote The Flag Away?"...Mr Thompson replied "Oh No. You'll Never Vote The Flag Away...You'll Have To Legislate The Flag Away". Now, and yall don't remember Mr Benny bringing all the ball coaches to the state house & busting up in there telling our esteemed representatives "If Yall Don't Change This Flag, None Of Our Schools Are Coming To Mississippi To Play Ball, And No School From Mississippi is Coming To Our State To Play Ball"...So that flag was changed over ball playing...Don't never forget that...

I am going to wait and see the candidates platform and past achievements. Its not a beauty contest. I was not a Tate fan but I cannot deny he has been a very good governor. Hope the next one will be as well.

Regardless of your (or my) opinion regarding the previous and current state flags...his approach to taking one down and raising another is just ONE example of his approach to governing...and his mentality.

Couple that with the fact that he is the most arrogant politician this state has endured since Theodore Bilbo.

11:33pm -I agree 100% with what you said These guys that call every moderate republican a RINO are Political Morons (P.M.). The Democrats would win every election if these so called RINOs didn't support the party. @4.03 --Staying at home and not voting would be a good thing for you to do. I'm sure your vote would not be a smart one.

Oh, and one more thing. I'm sure the schoolteachers and county elected officials will remember how he unseated the duly elected Tax Collector and the schoolteacher from their seats in the House. That's two groups I wouldn't want to piss off!

3 Cheers for the Virtue Signal Club, still preaching the evils of The Confederacy. It's not that the flag was changed. It's not whether it should have been considered or not. It's the way it was done. A secret conspiracy of a weak-kneed triumvirate. Gunn, Tater and Dogbert.

I read that it was decided by a vote of the people. That's a damnable lie. The secret triumvirate formed a secret committee who narrowed the possibilities down to several options. The fix was in. The voters' only vote was which was the lesser evil.

Gunn was the architect, Delbrat agreed and Tater giggled.

"And No School From Mississippi is Coming To Our State To Play Ball."

I knew Bennie fell out of a box of rocks, but, dayum...he that stoopid?

@12:16 has it right -- they brought in all these football folks and politicians together to justify changing the flag for the greater good-- and a lot of folks bought that smoke-and-mirror show. Now we are left with a flag that does not represent the people, and one that you never see other than in a public display setting. Gunn was the architect -- and now -- he thinks his been away long enough for people to forget. We haven't. Andy Gipson for Mississippi!

Thank you, 9:29! That's probably the single most important thing to remember about him.

Which of the announced candidates wants the job and not the position?

Say what you want about Gunn but he has a big brass set and is a man on conviction! He didn’t just start wearing a cowboy hat or start swinging off Trumps nuts like some others !
God forbid we ever have another Katrina , but if we did who would you want on camera representing us ?

Not Gunn. Duff maybe given his connections to the coastal area. None of them are ideal.

It's Delbert or Gunn for this TRUE Republican!
