Democrats for Democrats

We have this weird Governor's campaign in Maryland, "Democrats for Hogan", a Repug. The thrust is mainly that the Democrat, Ben Jealous, is "too leftist" for Maryland.
This is typical Repug BS, but polls show Dems buying it.
Jealous is not terribly happy about giving huge tax breaks to Amazon if they'll locate their next facility in Montgomery County, and he's opposed to installing Lexis Lanes, [toll lanes] as Virginia has, on the Interstates through the state, both of which Hogan, the Repug, supports.
Hogan is a "cancer survivor", so there's some sympathy vote, but if he dies in office, who knows what kind of Trumpist will be chosen to replace him?

I'm sorry, there is just no such thing as "too leftist". Maryland Democrats need to learn about solidarity.

Don't let a PR campaign give an inch to the Repugs. They must be removed from office.
