If Maryland Elects This RINO Is It Good Or Bad?

Why did you vote the way you did?

Former Republican Gov. Hogan brings Senate race in Democrat-leaning Maryland to dead heat: poll

The AARP poll showed Alsobrooks and Hogan tied at 46 percent support with 7 percent of those surveyed undecided and 1 percent saying they plan to vote for someone else.

I said good because even a RINO is better than a dem as long as they vote for a republican majority leader and republican most of the time…

Absolutely. Even a RINO is better than a Dem. Hogan will still vote with the Republicans more often than he votes with the Democrats on partisan votes. And his administration did react reasonably & correctly to Bruen. (Of course the next incoming administration changed everything and are now in litigation.) So while Hogan certainly isn't "great", he's many steps ahead of "absolutely terrible".

And to be clear: Maryland will never elect a conservative. So a RINO is the best-case scenrio.

Never been there, but I'm guessing that it's as much a machine state as NY or NJ.

I’ve seen a couple Hogan signs down here this week.

Its pretty much a northeastern state when it comes to politics due to being part of the DC area.

Well like many States, it has four high density counties that control the State. Montgomery, Howard, Prince Georgia's and Baltimore counties.
For the most part the rest of the State is Conservative.

It was a bit, since Bob Ehrlich.

Hogan as a governor replaced OMailey, who was a crazy rabid libtard, and rolled back some of the insanity. So he’s not too bad.
But he’s a never-Trumper, so he can suck on a #1 Crab, if he thinks this office will get him to national stage.
The lady he’s running against is a dumber emptier version of Kamala, so anybody better than her, MD-wise.

I’d definitely agree with you there with the exception that Frederick, Howard, and even Carroll are starting to become blue.

Yea, but it will be decades before they have the population density like the big four.
Add Anne Arundle to that.

You got a good point man and I remember when every county was red except for MoCo, Balmer, and PG county.

I remember a Conservative Mongomery, my Dad lived in Bethesda.

That’s absolutely crazy to imagine that MoCo was conservative at one point! My mom grew up in Chevy chase and described how she’d ride a horse to Bethesda. Ironically my uncle lives near Walt Whitman high school in a rich part of Bethesda.

I went to Walter Johnson HS, my Uncle and dad went to BCC HS. They grew up a few blocks from Suburban Hospital.
My first wife grew up in old Chevy chase, if my dad had bought his house 3 blocks away we would have gone to Walt Whitman HS.
When I was in HS it had a working farm on two sides of it still.

A RINO is better than a socialist ideology brainwashed libturd Democrap for sure.

 

[jbombelli]

I know nothing about either of them, but it sounds like he'd vote Republican at least some of the time, and that makes him better than the other guy.

The big plus even with just having a rino like Hogan as a governor was. He could veto many bills, and he did do just that.

That’s pretty wild to hear man and it’s definitely a small world!
