Republican Governors of Blue States

[Bidenworth2020]

All of them except Scott, for the sole purpose of redistricting.

[MAINEiac4434]

Wisconsin is purple, but whatever.

As is Michigan, New Hampshire, and Nevada

lol

I'd disagree on NHNV, but yeah.

[Bojack Horseman]

If I were the incoming Democratic Governor of Michigan on January 1, 2019, I would appoint a special prosecutor to have Rick Snyder thrown in prison over the Flint water crisis. 15 counts of manslaughter for each person that died of Legionnaires.

[America Needs R'hllor]

By order of how bad they are.

The worst:
1. LePage
2. Snyder
3. Walker

Not good:
4. Martinez
5. Sununu
6. Hogan

Decent, would vote for:
7. Sandoval
8. Rauner
9. Baker
10. Scott

[President Johnson]

It's useles to vote for the term-limited ones.

Charlie Baker should definitely stay. Also lean towards Bruce Rauner, for taking on Madigan and being moderate on social issues. Hogan turned into HP since endorsing Trumpist candidates.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Synder, Hogan, Sununu, Martinez, Walker, LePage and Rauner will be pickups for the Dems

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

The poll options are probably based on a 3 out of 5 presidential election count, but that fails to explain Iowa being excluded.

[Grassroots]

None of them!

[NerdyBohemian]

None of them.

[Badger]

Can I please put all 10 of my votes on LePage?

[Sestak]

Can I please put all 10 of my votes on LePage?

[Coolface Sock #42069]

None of them, but it'd be especially nice to see Bruce Rauner win reelection and force an end to Democratic gerrymandering in Illinois.

[Strudelcutie4427]

None of them, but it'd be especially nice to see Bruce Rauner win reelection and force an end to Democratic gerrymandering in Illinois.

Why can’t republicans Mount court challenges like the Dems did in Pennsylvania to clean up democrat gerrymanders in Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Connecticut

No point now....Kennedy will most likely side with the libs to declare gerrymandering unconstitutional. Ruling will probably be out in June

[Xing]

To all Republicans pointing out gerrymandering in Illinois and Maryland, I think most Dems on this site are arguing that gerrymandering should end in all states, not just states that are Republican-controlled. If we got fair maps in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida, I would happily agree to fair maps in Illinois and Maryland as well.

[Cynthia]

I'd vote to reelect Baker and Scott in a heartbeat

I'd vote for Sandoval in 2014, but not in other years with his exact opponent.

Won't consider voting for anyone else on the list though, except Rauner vs Quinn where I might  consider voting for Rauner

[MAINEiac4434]

What has Phil Scott done to be known as some moderate-to-liberal Republican? At least Baker's actually done stuff. Scott's been in office for 14 months and vetoed a legal pot bill for no reason.

[McGovernForPrez]

For the people praising Baker for being some liberal Republican hero, realize that his positions are still not that great. He's gotten in the way of our recreational Marijuana rollout and he wants to gut Mass Health. Not to mention how he wants to defund our already struggling and outdated public transit system. The only reason Baker isn't doing these things right now is because our congress is heavily Dem controlled. Just because he doesn't like Trump doesn't mean he's a "good" Republican.

The only blue state Republican governor here I like is Sandoval.

And if you lived in Nevada, you'd be talking him down, too.  "Liberal Republican" means "liberal FOR A REPUBLICAN," not "Republican who is a liberal."  These guys chose to run as GOPers for a reason, even if they don't adhere to party ideology on every issue.

EDIT: Anyway, I would vote for every single one of them except for LePage.

[_]

I'd vote for all of them except the following:


LePage:  Would vote for whoever the Indy is
Walker:  Would vote for Third Party or the Dem if it was Tony Evers
Snyder:  Just no

[Politician]

Welp, Rauner, LePage, Snyder, Sandoval, Martinez, and Walker were voted out.

[Calthrina950]

Welp, Rauner, LePage, Snyder, Sandoval, Martinez, and Walker were voted out.

What? Rauner and Walker were the only two on this list to run for and lose reelection. Snyder, Sandoval, and Martinez were term-limited and did not run for reelection. LePage also didn't run for reelection.

I think he meant voted out in the sense their party was voted out. Still, it’s not very accurate terminology considering if someone said ‘remember that time people voted out Obama to put in Trump’ on this board everyone would (rightfully) point out that that’s nonsense.
