I think MA is a semi-open primary - and there’s only one R candidate. Would love to see the seat be at least competitive, but let’s be real. It won’t be.

If I were a conservative in Massachusetts? I’d take a blue ballot and vote for Moulton. Low bar, but he’s miles better than Markey.

I'm surprised that even lackluster "conservatives" like Mitt Romney and Bill Weld could have ever been elected in Massachusetts, where the choice is usually one of left versus far left.

I have to admit that (not living in MA) I haven't followed Moulton's policies very closely, Democrats seem to mostly vote lockstep in the Senate, so in that regard he'd probably be not much different from Markey. But I agree that I would vote for him in an open primary just so that we get some people under the age of 80 in the Federal government again.
