I guess if the people of MD are dumb enough to make him governor, they’re dumb enough to make him a senator.

[alternatives?]

Just what we need. Another GOP self-righteous back stabber in the Senate.

[EinNYC]

Uh, no thanks. There’s enough RINOs in the National Zoo. Stay home, Larry.

[Alberta's Child]

Sounds OK to me. He might be the best you’re ever going to see as a Republican senator from a state like Maryland.

[rdl6989]

not to serve one party – but to stand up to both parties,

[pie_eater]

This is a great thing for several reasons:
1) It means his delusion of running for president is over
2) He has a decent chance of winning
3) He is significantly more conservative than whatever Democrat he will be running against

[Chgogal]

Oh, I see! You serve the parties not the people. Schiester!

[comebacknewt]

I always vote for the most conservative candidate running.

My guess is that in Maryland, as weak as he is, that would be Hogan.

[indthkr]

Will he run as an Independant, or just another Mitt Romney reboot?

[mikey_hates_everything]

He’s better than this monster from Maryland:

[dfwgator]

Well, lah dee frickin’ dah!

[x]

He’s only in it for the free lunches ...

[cotton1706]

Hogan replaces Romney.

[SlipperySlope99]

Just what the Senate needs another spineless rino. /s

[databoss]

Not in Maryland

[Alas Babylon!]

Mittens leaves, “Not Hulk” Hogan steps in...

[jmaroneps37]

A classic grift to steal some left over NeverTrump money.

[Bigg Red]

Not the Babylon Bee? Old Jerry the Minion is delusional.

Thanks RandFan

This is VERY good news on multiple fronts

1. As he says, if elected (and he’s the only Republican who could be elected from Maryland) he would be part of a center in the Senate that could possibly pass consensus legislation. As it is, we have almost a void in the center. We have Manchin on energy votes willing to work with Republicans. And, maybe three Republicans willing to work with Democrats. But, that’s about it. Senima of Arizona describes herself as a moderate, but I don’t see it in the votes. If we get to 52 or so in the Senate, we can confirm nominees and enact the budget. But, we need to get to 60 to pass legislation, e.g., reforming immigration.

2. This not only rules Hogan out as a possible presidential candidate for No Labels, it makes it that much more difficult for No Labels to gain traction. It will be a mano a mano race, Trump v Biden, in the presidential; and, their supporting cast running for house and senate. As it is, RFK Jr looks like he’s taking the independent route, and has the resources to get on all or almost all ballots. The Libertarian will be on all or almost all ballots. The Green Party and Cornel (not Kanye) West will each be on some number number of ballots. (Let’s help those two where we can.) But, surveys indicate these independent and third party candidates hut Biden a little more than they hurt Trump.

Bottom line: things are clarifying. Uncertainties are being removed. It’s on to the battle.

this grifting RINO knows Trump is gonna win.
