Reply to comment by MaddyKet in Mass. GOP in disarray: Party may have $600,000 in debts, misreported hundreds of thousands in spending, memo says - The Boston Globe by TouchDownBurrito

I live in a red(er) county too. The most 'extreme' folks mostly just have rude/obnoxious signs on their trucks and houses. I think, seeing that the whole state voted blue in the last 2 presidential elections shows that we deeply oppose everything Trump stands for, and if the whole party is going to cater to him, then they have no place here. I believe people like Baker and Romney offered a healthy balance to the state's politics, but people like them don't seems to represent Republicans anymore.

Yeah, I agree. I voted for Baker, but once he was done it’s Democrat all the way. I wouldn’t even vote for Baker for Congress because no way I’m sending another Republican to Washington, even if he was a moderate here.

Yeah I still couldn’t bring myself to vote R with Baker. Even when he was re-elected, I think I went for the Green candidate (because the D candidate was so unbelievably awful. I’m don’t even remember his name)

Yeah, I wasn't against Baker, just the crowd he decided to stand with. If he went/goes independent then way less issues casting a vote for him.

He could totally do that in this state, and I am sure he would have more backing in both votes and monetarily than the GOP here. It would also keep the democrats on their toes.
