If it came down to Hogan vs Jealous in General Election who would you vote for?

So did Hogan.

It was about taxes that affect all of us. Jealous only advocated for African Americans, which only helps a minority of us.

I 2nd that.

I third that. I like Hogan but would have voted for Baker. No way am I voting for Healiys. This will be my first vote for a republican. In the age of Trump no less.... well, most people are in the center and all the outside money in the world won’t change that. And to bernie sanders: please sincerely go eff yourself.

I am not a big Hogan fan but that’s going too far.

Yeah wouldn't he be biased on issues? He advocated for causes so won't he disproportionately represent them as governor?

I’m not concerned about the NAACP.

I am a Democrat but don't really want to vote for Jealous

My ideal would be for Hogan to change in some key ways, like not messing with our education calendar or funding

Hogan has denounced trump plenty of times. He just banned state military from helping trump separate families at the border.

Jealous would have my vote. Hogan = Republican = nope.

Nah, Ben Jealous advocated for civil rights, which helps all of us.

When has he specifically denounced Trump? Could you quote some of his language, please?

That goes for anyone who ever advocated for any cause (including the cause of furthering one's own interests). Should we only elect people who have never advocated for anything?

No. A progressive Republican -- indeed any Republican -- would allow local boards of election to set the calendars for their own school districts, if they were ideologically consistent.

So your complaint is that he is too liberal because he was willing to have a statewide mandate supersede local control?

LOL. BTW Baker doesn't really have a chance anymore apparently losing by 40,000 votes

I am pointing out that it is hypocritical for a Republican to do so. And also bad for education, but that's a different issue.

These actions convinced me to tolerate Hogan. At least he is making good moves.
