Minogue rejects "any time, any place" debate challenge
"Mike Minogue is hiding in the basement"
An extremely receptive and enthusiastic crowd of approximately two hundred people came out to hear from GOP gubernatorial hopefully Mike Minogue in Falmouth last night as his campaign brushed aside calls from his rivals to schedule a debate “at any time, any place.”
“If he is scared to debate in a Republican primary, then he will fold like a cheap suit against Maura Healey,” Holly Robichaud strategist for Brian Shortsleeve said.
“Mike Minogue is hiding in the basement and Brian Shortsleeve is hoping he stays there,” added Logan Trupiano of the Mike Kennealy campaign.
“The time for debates will come,” Minogue aide Michael Gorecki said, “Mike’s getting out and meeting everyone right now. Today we’re on the road meeting voters across Plymouth County and Cape Cod.”
The Tuesday evening event was one of the first truly public events of the Minogue campaign, as the candidate has been mostly appearing at closed or invitation only affairs since announcing October 1.
On Monday Kennealy renewed his call for a three way debate between the corner office rivals with Shortsleeve swiftly accepting Kennealy’s “at any time, any place” challenge.
The very well attend event at the posh Cape Club was sponsored by multiple Town Committees and hosted by GOP State Committeeman Jay McMahon of Bourne.
Minogue, who has donated $3.5M to his own campaign, delivered a passionate stump speech touching on the topics of immigration and healthcare while describing his life journey, including references to his Catholic faith.
Minogue took a handful of questions from the attendees as a group and spoke with supporters one on one at the conclusion of the event.
