Don Martin: Nobodies take over the Conservative leadership race

Conservative leader Andrew Scheer arrives to make an address at a party caucus meeting on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, on Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2019. The nobodies are pounding on the door while the somebodies bolt for the exit in a Conservative leadership race hemorrhaging political status and credibility.

That will do nothing to help the Conservatives win back middle-ground voters who are already skeptical of a hidden agenda that doesn’t actually exist. But what’s worse than serious names opting out of contention is the growing lineup of amateur-hour contenders joining the fray to three-ring circus visthe leadership convention.

Of course, no Conservative leadership ballot would be complete without a crusading candidate who thinks the party is too soft on opposing abortion and gay rights. And, this hurts to say because this race desperately needs women, but personality-plus MP Marilyn Gladu doesn’t yet have the political experience, caucus backing or name recognition to lead the party out of the wilderness and back to power.

Donny loves big name Liberals. They are above the law.

It is better to have nobodies than asylum escapees like the Liberals.

Don Martin should be quite familiar with 'nobodies' for in the political reporting field that is exactly what he is a nobody that marches in step with Liberal talking points.

As opposed to somebodies?

Well that's the narrative your ilk will try to get out there..... clueless

JustinTrudeau , pretty much the same as the liberal PM & leaders, all nobodies & idiots !!

Leslyn Lewis is an interesting choice.

Stay out of it CTV.

Depressing isn't it?

Odd that he didn't mention MacKay, he's a pretty serious contender, IMO.

Thanks for your hot take, lib.
