I don't even always agree with his politics, but I know the guy and he truly wants to do good. I just think some of his views are stuck in the 60s about some things (he's from the antiwar, anti-machine hippie era, when being progressive and pro-environment meant fighting the Big Developer, whereas now I think more transit-oriented development is the progressive position, but I digress)
He has a great family and has foster children with Downs syndrome and he built a house for his daughter and grandchildren. He's a truly decent person, like his politics or not.

TRUMP is a pu$$y grabbing fascist pig who is promotes racism and misogyny, mocks disabled people, rage tweets at 5 am, calls journalists the enemy of the people, wants to have sex with his daughter, objectifies women and brags about it, loves dictators and tries to become one himself, lies over 10,000 times so far in his term, can't go a few hours in a day without lying, has the Saudi government stay in his hotels violating the Emoluments clause, takes action to destroy the environment and laughs about it, tries to lie and tweet his way to war with Iran, praises white supremacists, throws temper tantrums when people criticize him, and in many, many other ways, the lists goes on, demonstrates that he is a despicable, deranged bully who needs to be impeached.

I can't remember when our county government was so dysfunctional. Now I'm thinking Robin Ficker couldn't even have been this bad.

Blair was it. I don't understand why not enough people supported him. It seemed like everyone I know from MoCo definitely did. I'm curious who didn't like him. The thing is, the person we are looking for is NOT in the council nor anyone else already involved in MoCo politics. We needed someone from the outside.

Blair lost to Elrich in the primary, by only 77 votes.

The unions all got behind Elrich (as usual) and got the voter turnout among their members.

Most union members don’t live in the county.

55% of county employees live in the county

Doesn’t he realize he IS management now? Is he saying he’s going to screw over all his employees too? Or is he the exception? And if he will be fair to his employees, is he arrogant enough to think he’s the only management who’s will be?

If this thread title were "Elrich is like Bernie in many ways" I would agree.

Or if it were "I don't like Elrich as county executive because..." I would have things to put on the list.

But "Elrich is the leftist Trump"? Nuh uh.

Not taking about politics here. We are taking about the ability to run government.

See the title of this thread that you just posted on, please.
