Jay Gonzelez in Menotomy (again)

I'm starting to take a shine to Gonzalez as a deomcratic gubernatorial aspirant, mind you I still wanna hear from Warren & Massie...but Gonzalez is starting to "Wear Well" as far as this obscure blogger is concerned.
He is a reasonable affable public speaker who reminds me of the supremely affable Deval Patrick in his speech pattern. He sounds fairly realistic about the issues from a progressive perspective, he isn't blasting the "Trump-Trumpet" every other sentence (Jaysuz thats a relief!), he has a good set of beefs with Charlie Baker so he must be doing something right to rate a GOP videographer dogging his every step (a big redheaded lout I didn't catch his name, he kept quiet to his credit thru the whole appearance).
Besides I begin to like Gonzalez' core argument, which is, that if all Charlie Baker offers us is sheer stagnation and gently falling bond ratings, then all then means is we are simply retrogressing slower than the national average so to speak with an Administration in Washington seemingly hell bent on wholesale devolution into a Neanderthal State.
That to me is an elegant simple argument, whether the democratic primary or the general election cohorts buy it is another thing entirely. I do wonder if like Jimmy Tingle, Jay is trying to run a good tight one hoping for fairer winds in 2022...but then again none of us may even be here to vote come 2022.
