maybe. but do you really Stacey Abrams and Andrew Gillum are mirror images of Sharron Angle and Christine O’Donnell?https://twitter.com/HotlineJosh/status/1034781230124986369 …

Just look at Ben Jealous in true blue MD. Do you think he’s the equivalent of Angle? Even if he’s not as extreme, he’s still squandering golden opportunity for Ds.

MD is beside the point. nobody beating Hogan this year

In a blue wave in MD, a better candidate would have made that a real race. Just look at Jealous’ negatives in MD-GOV polling. Speaking of left causing probs in MD: Takoma Park progressive causing all sorts of probs for Dems in reliably blue Montgomery County. Civil war.

Agree with @JohnJHarwood here. Nobody was going to beat Larry Hogan this year, a moderate to liberal Republican who steered Maryland in the center while overcoming cancer. His race is as meaningful as Baker’s in Massachusetts. Not part of the equation.

easy to forget recent progressive spin that Jealous was the one candidate who could put MD in play because he was the D who cld excite the base in a blue wave year. who was the last R gov to win two terms in MD? Notion that Hogan automatic in a blue wave year=revisionist
