“While Cox might win the primary Schultz would probably stand the better chance of winning in the general election.”
Not saying anything against you but I am so tired of this argument.
I live in MA, pretty much the same as Maryland politically, and I hear the same thing here, let’s just nominate the moderate and he’s more likely to win. And to that extent, that opinion is correct. We have Charlie Baker here. But he’s a liberal Republican. There is literally NO difference between him and a Democrat. He signs Democrat legislation, believes in the climate change nonsense, was disappointed in the overturning of Roe vs Wade, etc.
Baker appointed Democrat or liberal Republican judges to the state courts just as Romney and Cellucci and Weld did before him.
So if you just want a governor with an ‘R’ next to his name, that’s nice but doesn’t actually do anything.
I say go for broke. It’s a Republican wave year, where there will be unexpected victories because it’s a wave year. And a lot of these people the “experts” say are too conservative to win in November will be in office next January.
This talking point that only moderates can win in these states is a total sham.
