So there won’t be a Congresswoman and Mrs. Tingles.
This race is hilarious, it’s a contest to see who will most fervently adopt the doctrines of Marx. Tavid Drone is particularly heinous and I hope he bankrupts his limousine leftist self. His business “Total Wine & Beverage” is dead to me.
“Any possibility a (gasp!) Republican could win that district?”
None whatsoever.
Maryland’s districts were gerrymandered after the 2000 elections SPECIFICALLY to drive Rep. Connie Morella (moderate Republican) out of office. Then they were gerrymandered again after the 2010 elections specifically to drive Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (conservative Republican, Western MD) out of office.
For your amusement, look up a map of my district, (MD District 3), the most gerrymandered district in the country.
