On the Massachusetts Baker thing, here’s what I think as someone who lives here
I’d say Marco Rubio or John Kasich was the President or if there was a Dem President ... any of those scenarios then I think Baker would beat Markey (or Warren for that matter). Hell I think he would beat Moulton even (Only person he would surely lose too is Kennedy). He is extremely popular and reasonable on most issues. He’s been effective on all but one issue. I think you guys are underestimating him - We are not like the idiots from Tennessee. We are a dark blue state but with a heavy independent streak.
HOWEVER, what blows that whole theory up is the fact Trump is President, if changes the ballgame cause this state is anti-Trump in a way it isn’t against other Republicans past or present. So no canidate is going to win that gives Trump another vote in Washington. No chance.
I agree 100%, as someone who has lived in MA my entire life.
