MA-Gov: Baker massively popular

[Thank you for being a friend...]

I want to vote a straight Democratic ticket next year, but I think even I will vote to re-elect the Governor.  I'm a very liberal Democrat, but he hasn't done anything wrong.  He's just been a balanced, moderate kind of guy and he signed the trans rights bill, which is up on the ballot for repeal.  So I'll be voting all Democrats + Yes on trans rights, but I guess I'll be voting for Charlie too.  Besides, the legislature already has D supermajorities.

I also had the same opinion, but I've changed my mind since. I don't dislike Baker but a lot of his proposals for balancing the budget are kinda dangerous. Stuff like cutting funding to the MBTA and health care have really made me rethink voting for him. The MBTA is an especially personal issues because I rely on it so much, and it's already extremely slow with its current funding.

I'm definitely going to have to read more about that.  I guess at the end of the day there's still a reason why he's a Republican and not a Democrat.

I think the young redheaded Kennedy should definitely run.  I think it would be a tossup if he did.
