Real talk: Would you vote R if Elrich wins

[Anonymous]

No. But I am happy with Elrich. He stood up to the COVID deniers and helped keep us safer than many other government officials did during COVID.

Elrich is such a horrible manager. There is no way I will vote for him again (and I did vote for him the first time).

+1 but I didn't vote for him last time. I'm not voting for Elrich, ever.

For Rs, you need to switch to D party to vote in the D primary to get a moderate. In MoCo, there is no way a R is going to win. Your vote is wasted.

PP, I couldn't care less if they were green with purple spots. I prefer Elrich just because he's had a very strong Covid record. If someone else has the same policies, then sure, I'd be willing to give them a chance. But he has the incumbent advantage in that he has PROVEN he's talked the talk and walked the walk.

That's all.

To vote in the primary, you have to register as that party. But, in the general, it doesn't matter.

Not in the primary. But you can vote for whomever you like in the general election in November.
If Blair doesn’t win the primary, I’m 100% for Sullivan in November

Wait when is the primary?

[Anonymous]

I can’t stand Erlich. Yes I would vote R but I won’t vote Sullivan just like I didn’t vote for Ficker.

Find a better candidate who doesn’t lie or isn’t crazy.

No, I think Elrich has done a better job than I expected. I also like the fact that he doesn't take developer money.

Sadly the R’s put up a terrible candidate again. So while you can vote R in the election in November, Sullivan is no Hogan.

Sullivan is a sToP tHe StEaL Republican. I'm over Elrich and am voting for Blair but would not vote for Sullivan. Sullivan participated in an event at the Rose Garden during the Trump administration and had posts praising him on his personal Facebook page. It looks like those posts are no longer public now that he's in the race.
