I’m a Dem that voted Hogan twice and this is not true. I would absolutely vote for Hogan again in any election, Senate, President, whatever. Politicians like him are the way forward, to leave the ridiculous divisive rhetoric behind and start working across the aisle to find common ground and get sh!t done.

No way, not with a split Senate. Any D candidate over any R.

Explain? I think he will be supported by Democrats until he decides to retire.

With Van Hollen in the other seat, MD Dems from Baltimore might not be too keen on having two white men from MoCo.

Presuming that Cardin is stepping down, the hypothetical primary race would be Raskin, Calvin Ball and Mfume. Maybe Anthony Brown and Jawando also jump in. The only way Raskin wins the primary is Black voters get split 3-4 ways. However, he might also have to beat someone like O’Malley too, who could also run. I have a hard time seeing how Raskin would have broad appeal outside MoCo. He would basically have the Tom Perez coalition and we all see how well that worked for Perez.

Yes- how is Raskin different from Perez in terms of who his supporters would be in a Dem primary? Both are Takoma Park progressives who have been fixtures in Dem party for a while.

It’s this type of mindset that does nothing for swing voters like me. I’m not going to vote D blindly, or for someone like AOC, just because of the balance in the Senate.

I perceive Hogan as fiscally conservative and socially liberal, so he has my vote.

It's not voting blindly, it's voting with your eyes wide open to the political realities today.

Thank goodness young voters don’t buy this be anymore. This is the attitude holding our country back from fixing any actual problems.

Raskin gets so rattled in every committee meeting when a witness doesn’t kiss ass.

He loses his shit every time.

I agree Baltimore City and PG County aren't voting Republican, but it's possible they wouldn't show up to vote if they don't care about the candidate.

Unless raskin can win the primary without Baltimore and PG county I don’t see how he’s even going to win the nomination

Raskin is a bit like Hoyer. A big deal in DC, but could never win a statewide primary in MD.
