Decision 2022 - Primary Election

[Nosce Hostem]

The Sun "liking" him is a red flag,,
But his stance on issues seams pretty solid (for a MD republican)

Issues - Joseph Perez U.S. Senator for Maryland

LOL...Sorry I thought BeoBill meant Tom Perez, the Democrat running for Gov. (I'm an idiot)

As for Joe Perez, hes nice enough and has definite cross cultural and even party ability going for him, but hes kind of soft on 2A and I think a little soft spoken for the general election. We need a fighter.

But as for Tommy Perez... **** that commie

Joe Perez was not my #1 choice if I was king and it was my choice alone.
But he did check all the boxes AND a lot of my bilingual friends tell me "They" are sick of the Democrats and the pandering.
So Joe Perez could carry PG, Montgomery, Frederick ??

Do as you wish. For better or worse, I pointed out the advantages and drawbacks of each and suggested voting each one's conscience. I look at things from a pragmatic point of view as well as a principled one.

It's a shame that the GOP still likes to backbite and hasn't learned their lessons from the 1990s! If Cox wins the primary, patriots are going to have to REALLY get involved by promoting the vote as best they can. They must become poll judges. They must launch an all-out effort to get out the vote and leave NO stone unturned that they do ALL that is necessary to see to it that they get out the vote in EVERY corner of the State. It will be imperative that the Cox campaign get the vote out in urban and suburban areas. Hogan was able to do that. With Cox's connections to Trump and with his ultra-conservative view of the Constitution, I'm skeptical. PROVE ME WRONG!

I think the Trump connections are seen as a positive outside of heavily liberal places, like Baltimore, that because of demographics will never vote red regardless. Demographics show those "urban" areas will always overwhelmingly vote democrat no matter what. I agree that it will be important for patriots to really get out there and push the vote, although, I don't believe Shulz will change any blue minds, and will only hurt conservatives with her RHINO ways.

I think that's a possibility for sure. I think Democrats, and to a very large extent Republicans, haven't really paid attention to the fact that the Latino vote is likely to be conservative as the years pass when more and more get voting rights.

A lot of these folks coming across the border Dems. think they own, but these folks are mostly very Religious and socially conservative and have far more in common with Republicans. They aren't down with the pronoun game or schools pushing gender bending ideology onto young children that are still pre-pubescent. Look at South Texas and Rep. Flores, hell they are calling her Ms. Frijoles and a cotton picker, its hilarious. Trump had turned a lot of Latinos to the right in the last election.

It pains me to say it.

Even as a DINO , it's gone to far . I have zero non- insane choices . Zero . Nada. Zip .

After 44 years ( of missing one Primary that had no contested races in my Party of the time ) streak . I really can't see a point for Me , where I live , to vote in this one . Any and everybody on the ballot will make me vomit to vote for .

None of them are sane . None of them would be vulnerable to Republican ( or independent ) in General election .

This might be the straw to break the camel's back , and make me actually register in the Party I actually give $ to .

In the end , I couldn't bring myself to not vote .

So I used an official Dem Party slate handout , and made sure to vote for the opposite of every endorsed candidate , with unopposed left blank .

 

[Biggfoot44]

I'm thinking Dan Cox. Schulz is a rhino ****

Depends upon your priorities .

Are you looking to influence potential candidates in the next cycle ? Or seeking a nominee that :

Has just slighly more chance than a snowball , and more realistically has a hope to loose by non embarrassing margin ?

You could turn out every single Republican in the state, eliminate every fraudulent vote, and roust all the conservatives to vote for Cox in the primary. He would lose the General election, in a landslide.

The numbers in the non-Free State of Maryland don't lie.

Good people outside of MoCo, PG, HoCo, Balto Co., and Balto City just don't seem to understand the sheer numbers they're up against.

It doesn't matter that every single cornfield along the highways outside of the urban centers have 6'x8' Cox or Trump signs, unless and until they figure out how to give corn stalks the vote.

I think the Trump connections are seen as a positive outside of heavily liberal places, like Baltimore, that because of demographics will never vote red regardless. Demographics show those "urban" areas will always overwhelmingly vote democrat no matter what.

So, tell us, LizardKing,

How many votes do the "urban" areas have, compared to those outside of heavily liberal places?

What does the term, "population density" mean anything to you?

Jim, how did Fat Larry win twice?

 

[scottyfz6]

Looks like Brown is going to beat omalley for AG. According to my mom who knows him well she would not vote for him, but she also says he is lazy as hell.

To me a democrat AG who is lazy is a good thing. omalley would have been bad, I do think brown is better option if I had to pick.

Looks like Dan Cox won the GOP slot.

Md. gov results: Trump-backed Cox wins GOP race for governor, AP projects; Wes Moore leads Dems - WTOP News

In early vote totals, Republican Dan Cox had opened a wide lead over Kelly Schulz, the hand-picked successor of popular outgoing Gov. Larry Hogan in the Republican primary.

We'll see. Supposedly there are around a billion uncounted mail in ballots yet to be opened. Keep your eyes on that for shenanigans. Maybe they can stretch it out to December...

 

[eventhorizon]

Well it just wouldn't be an election without this happening. Shocking...


Baltimore elections officials can't find 12 flash drives containing votes

Most mail-in ballots were requested by Democrats (about 3/4) so I surmise the impact on Republicans this go-around won't be as significant.

"Fat Larry" won because he was able to get enough people in critical areas to put him over the top both times! Moreover, Anthony Brown and Ben Jealous were bad candidates and Democrats bailed on them when they won their respective primaries.

There was actually a group / pack that was called Dems for Hogan. Hogan was definitely at best a RINO so just a tad better than a Commie Dem. I just don't see Cox being able to win in the People's Republic of Maryland. I sure hope I am wrong.

I don't trust any vote count coming out of Baltimore. The real voter turnout is low. So fill in the blank.

 

[F5guy]

Larry is pissed and just called Dan a Q-Anon whack job saying he has no chance and it’s a big win for the democratic governors association who spent 3m making this happen. I guess time will tell

This.

My Mom was a lifelong Democrat but I convinced her to vote for Larry Hogan twice because she agreed with me that the Democrat running against him was way too liberal even for her. I am sure that there were a lot of registered Democrats like my Mom who voted Republican in the general election in 2014 and 2018 and that put Larry Hogan over the top. My Mom (bless her soul) is no longer with us, but I am not sure I could have talked her into voting Republican this time around.

And he campaigned and governed as a de facto Independent . Essentially on a nuts & bolts Good Governance platform .

And he was indeed more competent and less corrupt than typical Dem . Scaled back a little , but didn't seriously take on Dem ideas and priorities . And was in tune Maryland voter sensibilities by being outspoken Anti Trump

The arrogant, extremist Dems handed it to him.
