No. It is a loss. You need blue state Republicans and red state Democrats. You need flexibility.

Baker was a check on the Democrats' taxes.

Even moderate Democrats find property taxes confiscatory. Why overtax? Where is the taxes going? Baker vetoed a lot of tax increases and his tax cuts created a lot of jobs in Boston, etc.

The problem is that red states will very rarely elect Dems.

In Governor's races, it's pretty even.

MA, MD, and VT seem fairly balanced by LA, KS, KY at the moment.

Difference is that the red state dems all got elected due to sheer luck and trash opponents

That seems to fit Baker and Hogan as well (Calling Hogan's opponent "trash" might be a bit harsh, but his campaign was basically electoral malpractice).

Scott is his own thing and barely a Republican.
