It’s going to be hilarious to see the Moco partisans have conniption fits when there’s Senator Trone representing Maryland.

In fact, the reason they are all supporting Alsobrooks is a bit strategic because they know she’s going to lose to Trone and that Trone will lose to Hogan. So they plan to blame the loss on Trone “buying” the primary despite the fact that obviously Alsobrooks would lose in the general even worse.

Maryland is absolutely synonymous with craven politicians.

Polls show both Alsobrooks and Trone ahead of Hogan in a head to head.

Interesting. I have only seen polls with Hogan maintaining a solid lead. But I do suspect the polls will tighten after the primary and that either D has a good chance. Hogan is popular and also has a good chance, but I think it’s a very tall order for that many crossover votes in a presidential election.

Maryland, interestingly enough, is the only state where Biden has been consistently above water in popularity. Maryland voters - which, like it or not, are highly concentrated between I-495, I-95, and I-270, LOVE Biden for what he is: an establishment Democrat.
Hogan’s popularity vs. Maryland’s partisan leaning is fairly evenly matched. I would still say slight edge to the Democrats because the informed voter base is not going to send an R to the Senate. My guess will be D+2 in the end.

In 2018, Hogan won reelection 55-45. In 2020, Biden won Maryland 65-35.

Lots of voters are more than comfortable voting for both Hogan and Biden without flinching.

FWIW I’m one of those voters. Governor is low risk, which I understood. The United States Senate is completely different. It’s a team game and the stakes are much much higher. There’s no chance I would for Hogan as senator. I assume other Democrats feel similarly but I guess we’ll find out on Election Day.

I’m also one of the voters and will be voting Hogan. Ever since Murkowski retired, Maryland has not had Senators that have been out to aggressively serve the state of Maryland. You can see what a difference engaged Senators make for a state when you see Kaine and Warner going to the mat every day for Virginia.

If we want Maryland to be a success we need to vote for people committed to making Maryland successful. Hogan has been that person and will continue to have to be that person representing us in the Senate. You cannot say the same at all for Alsobrooks or Trone.

Was the purple line part of making Maryland a success?

So we shouldn’t worry about the Trump SC justice Hogan will confirm who will serve for the next half century?

It’s pretty clear at this point that you are very worried about it and it is your number one issue. Shocking though it may be, not everyone shares your mindset no matter how many times you repeat it.

Polls show both Alsobrooks and Trone ahead of Hogan in a head to head.

Which polls? Every poll that has been published to date by reputable outlets like the Baltimore Sun and Baltimore Banner show Hogan beating both, but having a harder time with Trone than Alsobrooks.

ce May, the polls have leaned for both Trone and Alsobrooks.
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/senate/2024/maryland/general/

May 6-7 Public Policy Polling by Emily's List Alsobrooks 46%/Hogan 37% (Alsobrooks +9)
May 6-7 Public Policy Polling by Emily's List Trone 47%/Hogan 37% (Trone +10)

May 6-8 Emerson College by The Hill/Nexstar/WDVM-TV (Hagerstown, MD) Alsobrooks 48%/Hogan 38% (Alsobrooks +10)
May 6-8 Emerson College by The Hill/Nexstar/WDVM-TV (Hagerstown, MD) Trone 49%/Hogan 38% (Trone +11)

Alsobrooks and Trone have been ramping up the advertising and the public outreach. With the primary coming up on May 14, more voters are starting to pay attention including many who will tip the scales.

Those are low quality polls that don’t apply a Likely Voter screen.

I think many people have learned a hard lesson over the past few years that nothing a senator does is more important than confirming Supreme Court justices.

I will be voting for David Throne on Tuesday, but what ever happens I will vote for the winner of the primary. We can't have Hogan in the Senate.

What? The senator from Alaska? Who has not retired? Who, god willing, will leave the Republican Party in disgust?

So people should just give up because there are never going to be any vacancies ever again? On any level of the federal judiciary?

No, but it means that the judiciary is not everyone’s primary consideration in this Senate election. The reality also is the decision by RBG not to retire early in the Obama 2nd term was a huge factor that voting had nothing to do with.

Maryland is absolutely synonymous with craven politicians.

So why would you want to elect a former Governor? One whose CoS was killed fleeing the FBI?

Nothing about that case had anything to do with Hogan. But it’s a great intro to the fact that Angela Alsobrooks political mentor in PG County was none other than Jack Johnson.

Jack Johnson was incredibly corrupt even by the low bar of PG County. I’m voting for Trone.

I’m also one of the voters and will be voting Hogan. Ever since Murkowski retired, Maryland has not had Senators that have been out to aggressively serve the state of Maryland. You can see what a difference engaged Senators make for a state when you see Kaine and Warner going to the mat every day for Virginia.

If we want Maryland to be a success we need to vote for people committed to making Maryland successful. Hogan has been that person and will continue to have to be that person representing us in the Senate. You cannot say the same at all for Alsobrooks or Trone.

So we shouldn’t worry about the Trump SC justice Hogan will confirm who will serve for the next half century?

It’s pretty clear at this point that you are very worried about it and it is your number one issue. Shocking though it may be, not everyone shares your mindset no matter how many times you repeat it.

I think many people have learned a hard lesson over the past few years that nothing a senator does is more important than confirming Supreme Court justices.

I hate to inform you but the horse has already left the stables on that one.

So people should just give up because there are never going to be any vacancies ever again? On any level of the federal judiciary?

Democrats have no plan or strategy except to continue scaremongering. But the court is already 6-3. Hogan did not do that and Hogan will not be the reason it would go to 7-2.

It’s going to be hilarious to see the Moco partisans have conniption fits when there’s Senator Trone representing Maryland.

In fact, the reason they are all supporting Alsobrooks is a bit strategic because they know she’s going to lose to Trone and that Trone will lose to Hogan. So they plan to blame the loss on Trone “buying” the primary despite the fact that obviously Alsobrooks would lose in the general even worse.

Maryland is absolutely synonymous with craven politicians.

Polls show both Alsobrooks and Trone ahead of Hogan in a head to head.

Which polls? Every poll that has been published to date by reputable outlets like the Baltimore Sun and Baltimore Banner show Hogan beating both, but having a harder time with Trone than Alsobrooks.

ce May, the polls have leaned for both Trone and Alsobrooks.

Alsobrooks and Trone have been ramping up the advertising and the public outreach. With the primary coming up on May 14, more voters are starting to pay attention including many who will tip the scales.

Emily’s list does not do high quality polls.
