My guess is that Ford Nation is the product of a specific set of circumstances, not the least of which is memories of when Rob was an effective retail politician. That's all gone now, short of the odd IHTW nutbars.So, what does this do for Ford Nation? Does it strengthen them or is this a huge blow? He was much more "likable" than Doug or any other family member who was in the public eye.
Mike will win the seat and fade into the wallpaper along with the other 30 or so silent councillors we never hear in the news. Doug's checkbook, but not face, will be welcome at PCPO fundraisers. Mamolliti and other assorted assbags will try to harness FN's energy and fail completely. Tory will comfortably win re-election in 2018 and the whole thing will just be a bad dream.
...Until 2022, when Tory will flame out in one of his signature blunders and the next affluenzad populist will step up to the plate.
