[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Republicans are indeed energized.

And the rest of the country is coming to the realization that Trump isn't the economic disaster they've been told he'd be. [/quote]

One week later this comment is sort of hilarious.[/quote]

+1 Trump is a disaster and he endorses Hogan.  And Hogan is endorsed by the NRA.  Those two endorsements are enough for me to vote for the Democrat, whomever he may be.[/quote]

I'm a Dem.  I'm not a fan of Hogan, but it absolutely matters to me who the Dem candidate is.  What is wrong with this country, with our elections, is the attitude on both sides that "it doesn't matter who the candidate is, I'll vote for X party."  That is what has enabled us to get crappy candidates on both sides, over and over and over again, because the parties throw their money behind inept people, knowing all of the lemmings will vote for the candidate who has the right letter by their name.

I'm not impressed with any of the Dem candidates I see on the horizon, so I'll vote for the status quo over risking a Dem governor who is going to see their election as a mandate to raise taxes.

I live in PG County, and Rushern Baker has been horrible.  He raised property taxes in a county that already has high property taxes, and the schools still have not improved.   He hasn't done anything except downplay some scandals/signs of corruption.  There's no way I'd vote for him.  [/quote]

To be fair, in PG county, the county executive is not supposed to have power over the schools.  Baker tried to wrestle control from the elected board and that went about as well as you would expect.  The county also faced a huge financial shortfall after the recession, which was not Baker’s fault either.  He has presided over a big decrease in crime and an improved business climate, so that’s not terrible.[/quote]
