Todd Muller confirms himself as a middle manager promoted several rungs above his level of competence

Quote:
He gives the impression of a eunuch at the end of a successful date.
Ouch!!

It's a bastard question to ask, but the expressions that go over this guy's face. I have an odd mixture of humour and sympathy.

If Donald Trump didn't like black people

If you don't agree with this guy, you must be racist.

Alternative take: Donald Trump likes famous people more than he hates black people? And a black "girlfriend"? Like slave owners didn't fuck their girl niggers.

I don't think he's the active racist type so much, like some folk from Mississippi. He's the much more vicious type that's powerful and indifferent.

I see National is getting ready for its dirty politics game, hiring hootin' Hooton.

Or maybe Muller just hired him to help get his CCP messaging right.

Toddy's not exactly setting the world on fire is he? I know it's all Jacinda all the time at the moment but the "middle manager" sledge seems dangerously fitting...

If Judith takes over, National will never get elected to Government as long as she's running the show - she's far too polarising.

'Invisible man' National MP Jian Yang - A reporter's two-year attempt to get him to front

I wonder if the silence is due to the ongoing SFO investigation into National?

National Party admits it sold too many state houses
Also good to see last week Muller straight away condemning Hamish Walkers bs. Like Clark's Labour govt. hopefully this ones success will shift our collective political base level further to the left.

I love the comments I've heard that Hamish Walker is not racist. His wife is Maori.

You know you dont have to be racist against all ethnicities to be considered a racist

Jeepers, talk about someone trying to raise their profile.
Last week it was Hamish who? This week its Hamish "the racist privacy leak" walker.

What a stupid thing for any MP to do. If he wanted to be a whistleblower, that's not the way to go about it. Talk about backfiring.

Did they ever have any chance of winning it, running Muller against Ardern?

Maybe a slim one - but only if Labour severely fucked up. Getting rid of Clarke *cough* I mean Clarke stepping down, was a good move and keeping him on would have been one of the things anyone with anti Labour sentiment could have pointed to as Labour rewarding incompetence.

Now? No chance. Might even be able to get rid of NZF from coalition.

If National had been able to tell a story of bureaucratically and technically incompetent Labour screwing up the COVID recovery, maybe. But now that all just looks like "dirty politics".

Pretty hard to tell a story of them screwing up the recovery at the moment.
Maybe if we were a year down the track and they haven't done anything to restart the economy, or we had to go into lockdown again

For those who aren't following, Woodhouse and by extension Muller himself are now getting caught in the Boag-Walker shitsplosion

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/a...ectid=12347031

and a National MP who it seems was literally an agent for the Chinese government has taken this opportunity to quietly resign while everyone is distracted

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/politics/...ectid=12347051

To think that just one week ago this was looking like a potential government.

I don't know that I would go so far as to say that they were ever a potential government, but anyway, here's a suggestion that the media has been systematically colluding with National's attack lines, and putting public health at risk in doing so:

Wow, and I thought Labour cycled through leaders quickly when they were in opposition. Time to bring on the next middle aged white guy.

This will be interesting, to be a fly on the wall.
Do the National party have something lined up, or will this be a free for all fight, or will no one want it, because they will believe they will lose the election and then be rolled.

I wonder if Nikki Kaye will try stepping up?

Relatively photogenic, youngish, has managed to (mostly) skate past any major scandal thus far, senior enough to get put forward as 2nd to Muller.

Swing voters are already with Labour. This will shift some of their more staunch blinkered supporters as they will hold their nose for incompetent but not for weak. Will be good for Act but if these MFs get Winston back in . . .
