Thing is though, if Hogan wins and caucuses with Republicans, Donald Trump and MAGA Majority Leader will be setting the agenda, not “moderate” Larry Hogan. Sure, maybe once every 3 or 4 years he’ll vote against something you hate, but he’ll do so only if he’s been given permission beforehand because his vote isn’t needed. He will never ever EVER provide the deciding vote against something desired by Donald Trump or MAGA.

Everyone wants Maryland voters to vote strategically. Maybe they should just vote for whomever they feel will represent the whole state best in Congress.


If you want MAGA policies, by all means vote for Larry Hogan because that’s what you’ll be getting. Just don’t delude yourself into thinking that putting Larry Hogan in the U.S. Senate for 6 years will lead to more moderate legislation or SC justices. It won’t. Being a senator is nothing like being a governor.

What MAGA policies does Hogan support?


The ones supported by the Republicans in the Senate, if he gets elected. What do you think caucusing with the Republicans in the Senate means?

DP.. The R senate managed to support the spending bill and Ukraine aid bill. And the Rs in the House are also starting to put the ultra right like MTG in their place.

I like Hogan. I think he will be good for the senate.


Hogan is pro Israel and pro Ukraine which is fine and sets him apart from the MAGA and their isolationist foreign policy. I shudder to think that Trump would ignore our mutual defense treaties with allies if they were attacked, like the Philippines (re China).

I haven’t yet heard his views on the plight of the Palestinians and the dual state proposal by Biden. It’s a very delicate political matter so I doubt he’d say much.

If Trump becomes president and decides to withdraw support for Ukraine, make no mistake, Larry Hogan will absolutely play ball if his vote is needed.

The incumbent Senator is Ben Cardin. It’s impossible for anyone to be more pro-Israel.

Why don’t you tell me what caucusing means? Individual Senators are given broad discretion so you seem to want to insinuate something with out actually saying it.


And how do they use this broad discretion that they are given?

Well, there was one Senator holding up all military promotions for months.

But you tell me what caucusing means. I am a Democrat planning on voting for Hogan so curious to know how it will fulfill the MAGA agenda, as you say.


Larry Hogan signs up with Team Republican. Team Republican pushes the MAGA agenda. Larry Hogan always provides the deciding votes if/when his votes are needed. Larry Hogan only becomes “moderate” when his vote is not needed.

What are you talking about? Making deciding votes in favor of MAGA policies is exactly the opposite of what Hogan is campaigning on. You say that caucusing is enough but cannot explain what that means in practical terms.

Please disregard whatever Larry Hogan is saying on the campaign trail right now to appear more moderate and get your vote. It doesn’t mean anything. Don’t kid yourself. If Trump wins, he will be calling the shots. Not Larry Hogan. And Hogan will do as he is told when his votes are needed. That’s just reality.

I disagree. I think Hogan has realized that this dream of presidency or beyond won't happen. He's handcuffed to Maryland. And there's nothing a moderate democrat from MD loves more than seeing a republican stand up to Trump.

He's 100% going to win. But I also have some faith that he'll stay true to how he's acted for the last 8 years and not be afraid of Trump

based upon your belief? There is no data to say that would happen. Hogan despises trump and the Maga contingent may already be past their peak. Like it or not, we need sane Republican's in office...just as we need sane Democrats.

The alt left progressives are just as destructive to the US as the Maga contingent...different avenues, but destructive nonetheless. Both extremes have lost their dang mind.

Yeah. This is just Youngkin all over again. Campaign as a “reasonable” R but when you are elected you become part of the machine outlawing abortion rights, confirming nutball judges, ending NATO etc.

Plus it’s not like Hogan really has that great a record. He wasted tons of state money with that stunt of flying masks in from Korea that were worthless, he screwed over blue parts of the state, his chief of staff was corrupt (died fleeing the FBI). It’s not like he’s Eisenhower or even Morella.

I mean, you could say that about anybody in terms of disregarding what they are saying on the campaign trail.

I think Hogan will support true R policies, not RINO ones like some of the MAGA/Trump push, like isolationist strategies.

Hogan was a two term Republican governor who was very anti MAGA and very anti Trump and all they stood for. So he won’t pull a Youngkin as senator, and suddenly go MAGA like he did.

based upon your belief? There is no data to say that would happen. Hogan despises trump and the Maga contingent may already be past their peak. Like it or not, we need sane Republican's in office...just as we need sane Democrats.

The alt left progressives are just as destructive to the US as the Maga contingent...different avenues, but destructive nonetheless. Both extremes have lost their dang mind.

+1 ITA Why do you think Hogan won MD? Because Dems have also had it with the progressive far left.

Thing is though, if Hogan wins and caucuses with Republicans, Donald Trump and MAGA Majority Leader will be setting the agenda, not “moderate” Larry Hogan. Sure, maybe once every 3 or 4 years he’ll vote against something you hate, but he’ll do so only if he’s been given permission beforehand because his vote isn’t needed. He will never ever EVER provide the deciding vote against something desired by Donald Trump or MAGA.

Everyone wants Maryland voters to vote strategically. Maybe they should just vote for whomever they feel will represent the whole state best in Congress.


If you want MAGA policies, by all means vote for Larry Hogan because that’s what you’ll be getting. Just don’t delude yourself into thinking that putting Larry Hogan in the U.S. Senate for 6 years will lead to more moderate legislation or SC justices. It won’t. Being a senator is nothing like being a governor.

What MAGA policies does Hogan support?


The ones supported by the Republicans in the Senate, if he gets elected. What do you think caucusing with the Republicans in the Senate means?

Why don’t you tell me what caucusing means? Individual Senators are given broad discretion so you seem to want to insinuate something with out actually saying it.


And how do they use this broad discretion that they are given?

Well, there was one Senator holding up all military promotions for months.

But you tell me what caucusing means. I am a Democrat planning on voting for Hogan so curious to know how it will fulfill the MAGA agenda, as you say.


Larry Hogan signs up with Team Republican. Team Republican pushes the MAGA agenda. Larry Hogan always provides the deciding votes if/when his votes are needed. Larry Hogan only becomes “moderate” when his vote is not needed.

What are you talking about? Making deciding votes in favor of MAGA policies is exactly the opposite of what Hogan is campaigning on. You say that caucusing is enough but cannot explain what that means in practical terms.


Please disregard whatever Larry Hogan is saying on the campaign trail right now to appear more moderate and get your vote. It doesn’t mean anything. Don’t kid yourself. If Trump wins, he will be calling the shots. Not Larry Hogan. And Hogan will do as he is told when his votes are needed. That’s just reality.


Yeah. This is just Youngkin all over again. Campaign as a “reasonable” R but when you are elected you become part of the machine outlawing abortion rights, confirming nutball judges, ending NATO etc.

Plus it’s not like Hogan really has that great a record. He wasted tons of state money with that stunt of flying masks in from Korea that were worthless, he screwed over blue parts of the state, his chief of staff was corrupt (died fleeing the FBI). It’s not like he’s Eisenhower or even Morella.

No politician has a "great" record. I don't like Biden at all; he doesn't have a great record with a lot of people, but many will still vote for Biden, including me, because I absolutely loathe Trump and think he's a danger to our country. I don't think Hogan is a danger to our country. Biden is also somewhat dangerous to our country but not as much as Trump.

2024 potus election choices just absolutely suck a$$, but I support Hogan.

At least Youngkin was term-limited to just one 4-year term and wouldn’t be setting national policy. With Hogan it will be 6 years, no term limits, and his capitulations will impact everyone in the United States.
