Is there a single Republican left in Baltimore? Further, who would want the job, inheriting the mess that fifty years of Dem-only rule have left? Even Tommy Carcetti was a Dem....
That was my first thought, what sane Republican would want the job at this point? Let the ‘rats finish the job they started, with the support of all their free sh*t army voters. Any Republican running would have to be a quasi-rat anyway and try to outpander the rats, so let the rats do what they do best and finish their destruction. The worse that can happen is that they’ll force non-Baltimoreans to pony up more tax money to pay for their sprint to the finish line, and that will happen regardless.
