That's not "fractured". The fact that the Democratic candidate for Governor isn't doing well might be a reflection on the candidate, not the state party.

Add to that the fact that the incumbent republican governor is extremely popular with all voters in Maryland (he currently has a 60% approval rating among DEMOCRATS!). On several issues he's bucked trump and, to be honest, acts more like a Democrat than a republican.
