Massachusetts Democrats didn't wait for the dust to settle from a tumultuous national election before pivoting toward the state election two years hence, when the party's top priorities will include reclaiming the governor's office from Republican Charlie Baker.

The Democratic State Committee quickly tapped veteran political operative Gus Bickford to serve as party chairman, succeeding state Sen. Thomas McGee.

Bickford played a key role in organizing opposition to Question 2, a proposal to expand charter schools, which voters soundly defeated despite strong backing from Baker.

See what happens when Republicans want to reach across the aisle and work with Democrats? They get targeted anyway.

They’ll have to pick a good candidate. Are any Black Muslims available?

Our current governor Charlie Baker is a complete RINO sellout. So it won’t really make a difference if the next one is Democrat.

This is why we have to make progress while we have the opportunity. If the charter schools passed, there would be less money flowing to democrats in the next election.

He stinks, but it could be worse. Imagine a governor Elizabeth Warren.

Target? Target? Isn’t that inciting violence? That’s what they claimed Sarah Palin was doing.

FATHER GOD,

The Thirteen Original States were established to glorify Your Name. In the Name of JESUS we take authority over anti-Christ powers and principalities that come against the original intent of the Founding Fathers.

We declare the United States is ONE NATION UNDER GOD, indivisible, with LIBERTY and JUSTICE for all.

In JESUS’ Name we pray. Amen.

So this is where they are putting their hopes for a win - getting the governorship of Massachusetts.

Tell me that Tommy McGee JR, was not the Rat boss in Mass. The guy is a moron, he was an idiot when he was a kid and went down hill after that.

His dad was my Uncles best friend and grew up in my Grandmothers Kitchen.

Howie Carr calls Gov. Baker 'Tall Deval'.

He said he left the President box blank on his ballot.

Trump should return the favor.

Charlie Baker is a Trump-bashing NeverTrumper. Trump should write of Massachusetts. Maintaining a semblance of fiscal responsibility only delays the clusterf*ck social welfare wasteland that is emerging. Let all the Somerville hipsters and lefty Cambridge techies and Wellesley beautiful people support the riff-raff and public servants living large.
