I don’t live in Maryland anymore (had the misfortune of living there many years ago — my apologies to any conservative Marylanders out there) so take this for what it is worth. Mikulski could run against Jesus Christ in Maryland and Mikulski would win in a landslide.
She is entrenched in that state the way Bwaney Fwank is in his district or Byrd is in West Virginia.
Hopefully, the old bag will choose to not run because that is the only way she is leaving the Senate.
Mikulski could run against Jesus Christ in Maryland and Mikulski would win in a landslide.
Similar ex-MD'er here, and agree totally.
The way to handle Barbara Mikulski is the same as handling many of her government-dependence types; be very explicit about her voting record, be very explicit about what conservatism is (personal responsibility on all levels), be very explicit about how those conflict; and even though she will not lose, the underlying conservatism of her constituency (blue collar) will force her into an appropriate voting pattern, and set up a more conservative candidate in the future.
