That is an excellent point, the only place he could lose is the democrat primary. I was not aware that someone was going to challenge him, it is unlikely for a sitting governor to be primaried. Martha Coakley is the one name that comes to mind.
He’s going to have to be primaried, lest he end up like Patrick in NY, who would lose to any passable Republican challenger at this point. Tim Cahill, the Treasurer, was the name usually mentioned. Never heard Coakley brought up as a potential candidate. I’ve stated that until the MA GOP is purged of the last cretins keeping the corpse leaning far-left (the party officials themselves, who only “manage” a party that exists on paper), it hasn’t earned the right to go after the bigger fish in the state. Top-down hasn’t worked for the party, as 4 failed RINOs in a row have been a testament to that, it’s got to be from the grassroots-up. When they get back to a 1/4th of the legislature, then they can start making plays, otherwise, there’s no point. Why do we need to have an “R” figurehead Governor ? They’re only good for supermarket openings (and there are so few of those with businesses and whatever else shutting down with leftist mismanagement from coast to coast).
