Opinions as to why Trone lost by such a surprise blow out number?

He’s a cisgender white male. If that alone wasn’t enough, he a like bazillionaire filthy rich white guy.

Hard pass.

Hogan will be bullied into swaying with his comrades if he wins.

It also felt slimy, like he was trying to buy his way into an election. Whoever is advising him is pretty lousy, this is a repeated pattern for him.

I believe that this is key. Also, when asked about putting this much personal money into the race, his response was always something like “we will spend whatever it takes to win.” People REALLY don’t like that.

And finally I think there is the authenticity factor. Much of his campaign came across as very made up. “I grew up in a house without running water?” Please.

Oh, so now being a straight white male business founder makes him disqualified?

Do you understand how racist and sexist you are?

Because the party rallied around Alsobrooks.

Trone was painted as a “rich conservative” and the party doesn’t like that.

Trone is more Progressive than 90% of DCUM posters and they is a FACT.

Here’s Hogan on abortion…he doesn’t support stripping rights from women.

Here's Hogan on abortion.

https://apnews.com/article/abortion-health-larry-hogan-maryland-environment-7fe7e2613ded7f6f15067100f098061d

He has a long record of opposing women's reproductive rights.

I have no problems with this at all.


“ Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan vetoed a measure Friday that would expand access to abortion in the state by ending a restriction that only physicians can provide them and requiring most insurance plans to cover abortion care without cost“

The question isn't whether or not you have problems with the bill about women's reproductive health care that Hogan vetoed. The question is whether Hogan has a long record of opposing women's reproductive rights. And the answer is: yes, he does.

And what we are saying is the article you linked doesn’t demonstrate an opposition to women’s reproductive rights. If my daughter needed/wanted an abortion I sure as eff wouldn’t want a midwife performing it.

Hogan's veto actually does demonstrate an opposition to women's reproductive rights. The law (vetoed by Hogan, overriden by the General Assembly) allows nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, and physician assistants to be abortion providers. It doesn't require or force anybody to use a nurse practitioner, nurse midwife, or physician assistant as their abortion provider.

And again I have no problem with only physicians being abortion providers. It does not prevent someone from getting an abortion to only allow physicians to be abortion providers.

It actually does.

And again, this is not about your personal opinions. You are not on the ballot. This is about Hogan's actions.

Lol as a voter my opinion actually matters greatly.

Eh. As a voter, your opinion matters exactly as much as any other voter, no more, no less.

I would argue that my opinion matters more because I flatly refuse to vote for Alsobrooks. I’m not one of the flock of sheep who will vote for what is essentially a Bush neocon LARPing as a Black woman.

That's not saying much.

No, it doesn't. You have one vote, just like everybody else.

DP. It's not an underrepresented demographic in the U.S. Senate.

Well, my vote will not be going to Angela Alsobrooks.

I have ethics and principles. You clearly don’t.

I agree but I think in reality he’s further to the left than Alsobrooks is. That ad about his donations to Republicans in the states where Total Wine is was devastating.

Because Alsobrooks is a more compelling candidate.

For Democratic progressives stuck on identity politics, perhaps.

For Maryland swing voters, we'll see.

OK, so you either vote for Hogan, who is even less of a progressive, or you don't vote (or vote for some random third-party candidate, which comes out to the same thing) and then your vote doesn't count at all.

By the way, calling an actual black woman "a Bush neocon LARPing as a Black woman" is really disrespectful.
