Better a Republican squish than a Democrat Commie.
I had this discussion with another person FR yesterday, Hogan at best would be a 50% is that better than a Democrat who would be 100% Democrat.
At this point in time as much as Hogan would be a PITA it would better to have him for a few key votes than another lunatic from the left.
As much as I’ve grown to despise lock down Larry, he will be far better than any Democrat running in MD.
Yes, I despise him. Especially for the sending of millions of our state taxpayer dollars to South Korea for unusable COVID test kit. Oh gee and a while later, a delegation from South Korea arrived in Maryland to present South Korea’s highest civilian award to his Korean-American wife.
But still better than a Maryland Democrat in that seat.
If Hogan wins he’d be the next Romney.
Hogan is a moderate democrat who had no home in the “democrat socialist/communist” party. So, he became a Republican.
We need 1 Senator PLUS the tie-breaking VP to take over the Senate next year. THAT would be WV.
It’s widely acknowledged that MT and OH, featuring Democrat incumbents, are toss-up states.
Five other states featuring Democrat incumbents (AZ, MI, NV, PA and WI) are within reach. If things fall into place for us, that would be 57 Senators. We’ve never had more than 55.
This surprise poll indicates that MD is in play. NJ and VA are long-shots but are not entirely out of the question.
At this time, this is our path to a “filibuster proof” Senate. Just as importantly, with all these seats in play, PLUS yet other elections, the Democrats will be forced to spread their resources thin. And, while they have a very large advantage over us in resources, because they have to spread their resources across so many states, they’d be hard-pressed to overwhelm us in many races.
A RINO is worse than a Democrat IMO.
Larry Hogan is the best that we can get in Maryland. I will happily vote for him. Andy Harris is the only Federal officeholder from Maryland that I have voted for and who has won in my lifetime.
Some states should be sending strong Conservatives to the Senate and when they do not, it is annoying as hell. See Romney & McCain. Maryland sends liberals every time. Hogan is a R that independents like. While not my cup of tea, I will vote for him!
