I crossed party lines to vote for Hogan once, but never again.

As someone who works in global logistics, this is one of the dumber hit pieces Ive ever seen.

Every port on the east coast allows panamax container ships. NY, NJ, Norfolk, etc.

If for some reason the port of Baltimore did not (and therte is literally no reason for them not to), they would be at such an economic disadvantage, it would be devastating to the state.

Complete non story.

And if for some reason allowing panamax was so bad, and dangerous- why did Wes Moore not rescind it? Why did the MD house and senate do nothing about it??

Because its completely fine.

I mean it’s obviously not completely fine since the port is shut down for months and it will cost billions to repair the bridge?

This is too dumb to even reason with.

Every single major port in the country takes Panamax super container ships.

If the Port of Baltimore didnt- it would be devastating to ther MD economy in under 90 days.

If you dont want to vote for Hogan, thats fine but this is so, so stupid.

The fact that Frosh and others were tweeting this, is the first time Ive thought Hogan has a shot.

The port is scheduled to reopen in May.

You really are going to have to do better than this.

If it was so bad, why did Wes Moore not stop panamax ships in the last 2 years he was in office?

Again- the fact that people are even trying this one, tells me Hogan might actually be viable here, which I did not think he would be.

Very viable in November.

Which would not have happened if the Port required all vessels to be guided by tugs until past the bridge. Wes Moore is in full control of port operations. He appointed Wiedelfeld of WMATA fame to run transportation for the state. You are pointing the finger directly at the sitting Democratic governor and his appointee with a long track record of incompetence.

Hogan has an impressive lead in the Sun polls against both Democratic challengers. Bigger than I'd thought given Maryland's voting pattern. He is seemingly holding on to the share of the Maryland electorate that voted for him as governor.

November is still a long way off. But wow! I'm impressed.

Agree.

It's comparable to saying Baltimore shouldn't build another skyscraper downtown because you never know there might be a bad fire. If the port was to remain viable it had to accept the big boats that the other ports accept. Just the way it is. And the problem wasn't the boat itself insomuch as failure to run it properly.

Hogan has never had to face a competent opponent.

Many Marylanders love their state and appreciate Democratic values, but certain elements of progressivism have been detrimental to the state. If Hogan was deep down MAGA, he would of turned into a MAGA robot years ago. Trone is a racist and Alsobrooks is the leader of one the worst counties in MD, why should she be promoted to US SENATOR? I'll vote for the moderate, two-term governor who loves Maryland.

Well, some parts of Maryland. But not other parts of Maryland. Just like you.

Why is dunking on PG county still a thing? I live here and I can genuinely say I love it. I’ve never felt unsafe and I’ve always felt the county government is responsive. It’s just pure racism behind this narrative.
