I too am a Maryander and I dint know why Hogan thinks he's going to be any more effective than Mitt Romney. Romney became a pariah and Hogan should note he's not running for a second term. The Republicans are not going to tolerate like the Democrats, and Biden, tolerated Manchin. And why should I trust Hogan went turn into a Rubio or Graham who capitulated just to stay relevant?

Senate Republicans have been very friendly to Hogan, as long as he represents a possible windfall seat. He wouldn't have so many friends if he were already there, and openly critical of Trump.

Any Republican running for any seat at any level in my state since 2016 lost my vote and will lose all my future votes based solely on the issue of trust. Which is to say that witnessing the go-along-to-get-along transformation of the GOP into a domestic enemy of democracy, I will never trust a single one of those sons of b****es again. Ever. As I noted in another comment, this is nothing if not a completely justifiable case of guilt by association.

I feel the same way. The GOP turned their backs on our country and on the Constitution.

My first thought when I heard he was running was that I was surprised he hadn't gotten talked out of running by Mitt. I'm half convinced that he started running just to get out of being pestered about being a third party presidential candidate and probably expected that one of the extremists would beat him in the primary.
