Bad candidates don’t inspire anyone to show up and vote. ![]() I have some suggestions, if Republicans actually want to win.įirst, the idea that it was “candidate quality” isn’t completely without merit. As the sharp elbows turn toward the future, where they eventually land matters. That being said, which person is to blame is not as relevant to the state of the Republican Party going forward as what they’re going to do about it.

In the anime adaptation, the character is voiced by Mariya Ise in Japanese and Laura Stahl voices the character in English. She thought that it might give him more flow, a sort of shadowy air and make him look cool. According to Demizu, The proposal where his eye was hidden was a casual sketch. Even if he is the most deep and dark character of the main characters trio of the series. Posuka Demizu considers Ray to be an easier and fast character to create as compared to Norman and Emma. Seeing as how he nearly burned himself down with Grace Field in retaliation against Isabella and the demons, he could have died before his siblings even escaped. Shirai revealed that In his original script, Ray was originally going to die. Ray is the favorite character of Kaiu Shirai, according to the author, they have few things in common, explaining how the way he tends to get desperate and throw in the towel is a lot like the personality of Ray.

Mortgage bonds weren't considered good investments for a long time, but some dudes at Salomon Brothers cooked up a plan.Makes sense, right? Um, we're not so sure.
