Seems to be a good man, but I'm rooting for Governor Phil Scott and would vote for him. He leads the state with pragmatism, is moderate and scandal-free. No need to replace him.
Found your reason to replace him. I don't care how moderate the Republican is, a progressive Democrat will always be better. Period.
Idiocy. Period. (A lot of "progressive Democrats" are as fanatical, intolerant and dumb to the core as their right-wing opponents. The ONLY difference - they are left-wing idiots, not right-wing)
Are you really implying centrists/moderates are smarter than ideologies? Because the centrists I think of that come to mind in both parties (Van Drew, Manchin, Collins, Coons) come across as far dumber than ideologues like Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, Adam Schiff, Warren, and DeSantis, just to name a few
On topic though, this will probably be a good race. Phil Scott’s victory was kind of unimpressive in 2018 when you consider he ran against a complete rando.
