[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, I voted for Bill Frick. I would have been perfectly happy with Blair and I probably should have voted for him in retrospect, but I really liked Frick.
 Rose also would have been fine, with Roger distantly behind but still acceptable.

The reason is that not only do we need someone pro-Business but also someone younger with fresh ideas. Who can earn the votes from voters instead of riding out their default support based on name recognition and having been on the Council.

Now that this is all said and done, I'm going to support Floreen. Marc Elrich is truly the Trump of the left. He's obese and senile (unfit for office?) and has said completely insane things on the internet. Trump could shoot someone on 5th avenue, Elrich can say "ethnic cleansing" and "ship jobs to Frederick" and their base would still support them. Both Elrich and Trump rely on this 30% base that will blindly follow whatever they say.  I am now seeing Elrich supporters act just like Trump supporters and say to the 71% who supported other candidates, that "You lost, get over it!" and demand loyalty.

Both Elrich and Trump even like dictators! Read the Washington Post editorial, the guy invited the Venezuelan government to montgomery County for advice on social programs. You can't make this up! [/quote]

You know, I was on the fence about who I would vote for (or none of the above), but thanks, now I’m voting for Elrich.

This comparison of whatever candidate you don’t like to Donald Trump is ridiculous. Roger lost me when he did that. I actually ended up supporting Blair in the primary because he was being positive and on the issues. I was disinclined to back elrich in the general because he seems too beholden to unions, which also ran negative ads, but the Floreen camp is indeed being hypocritical.

Elrich is not my first choice by any stretch, but he seems at least willing to negotiate. Some of the things his supporters have said are obnoxious, but Marc himself has seemed gracious since the primary, and Floreen’s supporters are being a whole lot worse. Elrich is far left but he is not a left-wing Trump. He does not call everything he disagrees with Fake News, he doesn’t speak in verbal diarrhea, he does not seem to want to gaslight the county or the country. I disagree with his interpretation of free-market economics but I do think he is smart and has at least somewhat intellectually cohesive arguments. Add to this the fact that it looks like we have a pretty moderate and reasonable council. So I don’t think Elrich could do that much damage from the left.

And what is it with attacking Elrich for his appearance? You KNOW if anyone attacked Nancy Floreen’s appearance they’d be called sexist and misogynist. [/quote]
