Donna Edwards

Donna Edwards just lost a primary for the House. She’s not winning a primary for the Senate.

She has no more political future

Probably white blood cells

I hope Larry Hogan can get on the national stage. If the Republican Party can move on from Trump he’s a guy that can win a national election, or at least be a part of a national election ticket.

Raskin isn't my rep but I really like him, he's decent, principled and full of passion for making the country a better place. A real mensch. I hope his treatment goes well and hope he has a speedy recovery.

I am not sure that I have the House rules down correctly but the Raskin crypto stock deal has totally changed my view of him. He didn’t disclose until he and his wife pocketed the cash after selling the stock on a deal where the pricing was questionable and then claimed the family tragedy as the reason why he delayed his disclosure. As far as I am aware, he had a duty to disclose soon after his wife received the stock (I believe 30 days) not when he sold it. I would think ownership itself is something the public should know about because of potential conflicts on stock related matters. While he is far from some of the worst offenders on stock deals, the failure to disclose in a timely fashion is troubling as is the excuse he later made for not disclosing the sale of the stock later on. MD can find a better Dem.

I have voted for Hogan for MD Governor. I live in MoCo. I like a balance in the state. Current Dem governor is not my choice (but the republican option was a disaster).

I will always vote for the more moral person who is good for the country. So I will never vote for most of the Republican politicians. Between Raskin and Hogan - I will vote for Raskin.

Among Republicans, I have always voted for McCain and I will vote for Mitt Romney if he runs for Presidency again.

I do not vote on racial lines. I am non-White but I will not vote for anyone because of race, gender, religion or gender.

Meh.

All things being equal, I would agree, as in if there were two candidates who were equally good on policy and competence, then I would choose the woman or POC candidate.

But Jamie Raskin - if he wanted it - is unrivaled. He's awesome. He's kind, he's smart, he has excellent constituent services, his politics align with mine and with most of his constituents, and he's good at balancing the far left with the center. He shouldn't be counted out just because he's white (or Jewish).

In fact, most POC I know are rather irritated with the assumption that they should just check race boxes for representation and leave it at that. If a POC is the better candidate, they'll vote for them. They don't need to be reserved a seat because of their race.

This is insane, condescending and pretty racist.

Raskin neither needs to step aside nor is he a saint. He could never win a competitive primary in the state of Maryland for a statewide race because his politics don’t match the state. He would probably lose to about half of the states Congressional delegation and he would also lose to a few County Execs.

I think he’d do well but he was just made ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, I don’t think he’s going to try to jump to the Senate.

He would do as well statewide as Tom Perez. Which is to say that he would do badly outside of Montgomery County.

Raskin just got diagnosed with cancer. A curable form, apparently.
