Wes Moore has a compelling story and he served in the military. He will be hard to beat, no lie. I think Cox's best strategy is to continue engaging with voters statewide in a positive way, and being ready to counter whatever the opposition throws at him. Essentially, the same thing he did against Schultz. He fought back, but managed to do it in a way that he didn't come across as whiny or petty. Here's hoping lightning strikes twice. 🙏
So far Cox has been willing to talk to anyone in the media who'll listen. I think Schultz's strategy was to let him talk because he's sooooo crazy no one would vote for him. Problem for her though is he's not crazy. He spoke articulately about his ideas, and he never backed down from his opinions, all while being relentlessly cheerful. That's how he beat her, by not hiding and not capitulating. I do hope he gets help from the MAGA folks. It can only help.
My childhood friend was a preemie, weighing in around 2 3/4 lbs back in the 1960's, and she's still here and ornery as heck. Praying for your wife and kiddo, as well as you and those helping to bring your son into the world.
I did enjoy hearing about his articles of impeachment against Hogan. That man was every bit as bad as the Dem governors when it came to the lockdowns. He let the county executives make mask policies, but wouldn't let county school boards decide on reopening their districts. He has a lot of blood on his hands, and I will not be sorry to see him go. Praying for Dan and his family in the days ahead.
I really think the thing he has done effectively is reach out to disenfranchised Dem voters. There are a large number of Dems who are more socially conservative than the Dems who run the state. They don't like things like the proposed infanticide bill and alphabet agenda as much as MD Dems like to believe.
Dan has also made it a point to debate Dem candidates as well as his GOP opponents. Kelly Schultz always seems to avoid debating Dan in particular. Her excuse is he's a conspiracy theorist and he's not worth debating, but if that was the case she could have used the debates to take him down a peg. If heaven forbid she wins the primary she is completely ill-equipped to debate in the general. Not to mention she has to defend Hogan's record to both Republicans and Democrats.
Nice to hear a first-hand account of the man. I will be very proud to vote for him.
Well, Trump was brief. Generally, a truncated version of his stump speech. The usual digs at Hogan.
Oh, and not that I'm one to notice such things, but it started at 7:30 and ended at 7:47. How many minutes is that exactly?
It is definitely a combination of parents seeking ways to "calm" their boys down in hopes of making them better students, combined with teachers wanting them calmed down so they don't have to figure out better ways to engage them.
My older kiddo has executive function issues. Getting him to do one task, much less multiple tasks, has been a continuing struggle. However, my husband and I knew any attempts to address it with his pediatrician would open him up to an ADHD diagnosis and the push to medicate him. School was no help because they claimed, "he wasn't behind enough" (BS answer because I thought No Child Left Behind). So, he slogged through and graduated on time, only because I pushed him. While I have learned from this experience and my knowledge benefits my younger kiddo, I carry a great deal of guilt about not figuring it out in time my older kiddo.
Amen. I am grateful for today.
