What if Ryan Zinke Really Was A Waffle (and other MTPol/breakfast food mashups)
Waffling is an undesirable trait for any person, but it is especially troubling when that person is running for public office. The Montana Democratic Party has repeatedly (and hilariously) criticized Republican congressional candidate Ryan Zinke of being a waffler. Their criticism is not without merit, as Zinke has repeatedly changed his stance (or waffled) on a number of high profile issues throughout his race against Democrat John Lewis. He waffled on gun control. He waffled on reproductive rights. He waffled on climate change.
While all of his flip-flopping has left some Montanans wondering what Zinke really believes and how he would vote, it has left us at the Montana Mint with another question – what if Ryan Zinke really was a waffle?
Like, a real waffle. Lightly toasted. Covered in Syrup. Enchantingly delicious. Something like…
How would Montana voters react? We were the first state to elect a woman to Congress, could we be the first to elect a waffle?
If Waffle Zinke were to win, could he ever escape the shadow of Montana Republican Party leader Steve Danish?
And how would Waffle Ryan Zinke and Steve Danish get along with Montana’s senior Senator Jon Toast-er?
If Waffle Zinke were to lose in 2014, would he challenge the less punny incumbent, a Bowl of Steve Bullock-Os, for the Governor’s mansion in 2016?
People hate flip-flopping but they love breakfast food. Zinke’s fate in November hinges on whether he’s viewed as disingenuous or delicious.
