| I like that she is a single mom |

What are the circumstances of that? Divorce? Widowed? Or did she just willing decide that she’d rather place her child at greater risk of a variety of bad things that are statistically far more common to children of single mothers than those raised by two parents? Because bad decision making isn’t a trait I’d look for in a governor. |

Lol. I guess you should also talk to DC’s mayor, as she’s also a single mom by choice, having just adopted a baby girl. Something tells me the children of both women will be fine. |

Grew up in MD
Went to Duke Went to UMD law school Worked in the states attorney's office Worked on education in the county Lowed crime Lowed police brutality She has not shown herself able to bring jobs to the county but is he education and tough on crime candidate. I don't think there is some "group" trying to help her rise, she is just smart, educated and worked her way up. But Governor of MD, not going to happen with S. MD and Western MD. and really, Montgomery County as liberal as it is thinks that PG is sh*t and that their schools are trash. |

| This Montgomery progressive wouldn’t dream of voting for her. She’s an empty suit. |

Have you ever worked with her? Had a conversation with her for more than 5 minutes? I have. I actually wonder who polically saavy she is, but I do think she's smart. |

What did she steal your boyfriend in high school? You sound pressed. |

Wow. Is this 1950? She can not take care of her child? Is she on welfare? What the hell. I am a divorced mom who is quite financially stable and have raised 2 amazing sons who are not statistics. You are a jealous ass. |

How are they doing with relationships? |

What? |

Relationships. You know, two people, together. A relationship.
Are you unfamiliar with the term? Because it's normative for people to be involved with a significant other. It's what we do. And anyone who isn't involved in a relationship, or seeking one, is an outlier, and probably is not the person I'd want in a leadership position of any significance. I want someone normal. Not someone who cannot, or does not, maintain a relationship with a partner. |

+1 If a person can’t demonstrate that they can be with someone, at least for a while, they have no business trying to be a politician. Being single for life is more weird than being divorced three times or a serial adulterer |

Really? Please cite any data suggesting a relationship between relationship status and political career outcomes. And I can guess I can safely assume who you voted for in 2016, given your valuing of some moral failings over others (even though many of us don't consider being single, e.g., Stacey Abrams, a moral failing--if they can do the job effectively, then that's what matters to many people). -married with children |

I voted for Hillary, thank you very much.
A candidate that stayed married, despite the challenges, because inside, she's still an ordinary person. Stacy Abrams and Angela Alsobrooks are not. |

African American women are much less likely to have ever been married by age 40 than white women. I'm a 40yo black wife and mother--of the women I know from college, some are married, but many are still single. Most of the never married women also do not have children. I'd say they're normal/ordinary people--the dating pool is quite different for black women. I'm assuming you're white, and that the idea of never marrying is strange to you, since it's not common in your peer group. But it's not an uncommon occurrence among black women, for multiple reasons.
