MD Sen Democratic primary: Who wins?

[coloradocowboi]

Why would Trone be more inherently likely to win than Alsobrooks? I can’t really think of a compelling reason besides that she’s a black woman. Which I don’t think is the negative folks think it is in Maryland and against Larry Hogan. IIRC his black opponents managed to keep him in the 50s when he has a near 70% approval. If anything, I think a white candidate is riskier.

Trone s*** the bed on this already anyway and probably is gonna lose the primary now

In MY opinion exactly because she is a Black woman. BOTH - Black and Woman. That's the reason for few percentage difference, which could be crucial against serious candidate like Hogan (he will, probably, be "the most moderate Republican candidate" this cycle).

Yeah I disagree. And even if I didn’t I would be really uncomfortable basing my support on that

Well, such people  - exist. And that's - a factor, which must be taken into consideration. Why give them a reason to vote "the wrong way"

Because it’s morally wrong? Because it just perpetuates the problem?

Also if someone is a single issue voter on racism, I doubt they were gonna vote blue anyway. It’s not 1967 lol.

I get flooded with Trone ads every time I turn on YouTube. It's basically "Vote for me bc I'm a rich white guy and will put this race away against Hogan, whereas Angela Alsobrooks is a scary Black woman with no money who can't keep the Senate Dem", but of course not in so many words.

And I think this is gonna turn off more voters than smoltch here realizes. Tbh I thought Trone had it until he went all suicidal like this. If there is anywhere to not make this argument it’s Maryland lol
