[Bidenworth2020]

351 Town sweep coming?

Updated town ratings map for June

pretty good except worchester city will be lean r

I was thinking about it but I kept it a toss up for now. Do you know any thing about the small towns out west by any chance? I just made quick guesses on mostly everything in Berkshire and franklin counties

not much, but that town you put as lean r in the corner voted for the trumpet. btw, where you get this map?

If you google search blank New England town map, it will give you a map of all 6 states with the city and town boundaries. Then i just erased everything besides the state I'm working with. This is the one I use. But some of the boxy looking ones in Northern Maine are actually unpopulated, NH and Vermont have a few unpopulated ones too but theyre relatively easy to find

So beautiful. Just beautiful!

He’s obviously not going to win by anywhere near this much in the end, but yeah, Safe R

Does anything distinguish Baker from a moderately liberal Democrat?

[Politician]

Does anything distinguish Baker from a moderately liberal Democrat?

As someone who lives here, a lot. He's more of a "fiscally conservative, socially liberal" type who Democrats love because he's a moderate and they need a check on the Democratic state legislature, and Trumpists hate for being insufficiently conservative.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

MA already has Romney care,  I guess they want a check on the left leaning Congress

Sorry, but this wreaks of the GOPers who were "excited" or at least "totally okay" with Lamb winning in  PA-18 because he's "basically a Republican."  No one is saying Baker is anywhere near representative of the Republican Party, but it's undeniably good for the GOP that someone who willingly registers and runs as a Republican is the head of any state as long as he or she is implementing more conservative reform than a would-be Democrat would; Baker fits the bill, end of story.

That is true. Massachusetts’ RINO governors have been much better at passing liberal legislation like Obamacare and gay marriage than Deval Patrick was

Jokes aside, no Republican would be happier with a Massachusetts Democrat in office than a so-called "RINO."  Even though I may like Baker a lot, I realize many Republicans wouldn't; tough shlt for them, you take what you can get in deep blue/red states, and Baker in office is better for the GOP than Baker not in office, IMO.

[President Johnson]

LOL at RCP, they still list this as likely Republican. Baker is far more likely to win his election than Abbott in Texas, which they rate as safe Republican.

Don't forget Charlie Cook, who rates this as Likely R but Georgia is Safe R (!)

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Conservative estimates are being used,  due to the overperformance of Trump,  last time.  Clinton was suppose to win 300 plus electoral landslide

Exactly. Massachussetts isn't going to get anyone more conservative than Baker unless something crazy happens.

Guess these weren't waves either.

Dear God now the Charlie is GONNA SWEEP THE TOWNSHIPS AND THEN RUN FOR SENATE IN 2020! jiz train is gonna start again

Honestly, I would be kind of worried about Baker running against a low energy dud like Markey. Just look at his pathetic margin in 2013 against a half decent candidate.

No.

There really isn't any point in distinguishing between the two.
