Hogan wants to be president, too. How's that going?

I’m not sure how a Republican that repudiated Trump’s Presidential ambition is relevant. He was re-elected by large margins and has extremely large favorability in the state, which means that he’s widely popular with Democrats.

Your post indicates that you are a prime candidate for disappointment.

Hogan will never be president.

The rest of the country has no idea who he is.

And Maga controls the party he is not MAGA.

Hogan is the same as the rest of republicans, he's no better. His kid isn't either.

No republcian should ever be elected again full stop. Treason.

That’s the point. But a “Hogan Democrat” could certainly become President.

Hogan is a Republican who would rather vote uselessly for a dead Republican than vote for a Democrat to beat a MAGA candidate. There's no such thing as a Hogan Democrat. Could a Democrat who voted for Hogan become president? That seems unlikely, purely on a numbers basis.

There is no such thing as a “Hogan Democrat”? Then who was voting for his landslide reelection victory in a state that is overwhelmingly Democratic? Don’t need Scooby Doo to solve that mystery.

I actually am a Hogan Democrat. Voted for him, and would have done so again. Did vote for Moore this cycle. Moore versus Hogan would present a tough choice. Radical moderate here.

My presumption is that the responses from people who don’t understand the reference of “Hogan Democrat” is because they were not alive in the 80’s.

I would never have been a Reagan Democrat, but unlike Reagan, Hogan is not a right-wing ideologue. In another state like West Virginia, Arizona or Texas, Hogan could possibly be a mainstream, moderate Democrat.

He is a right-wing ideologue. Just not a MAGA right-wing ideologue. Democrats who voted for Hogan paid attention to what he said but not to what he did.

What views does Hogan have that make him a “right wing ideologue” that are not shared by at least one member of the Congressional Democratic caucus?

What concerns me a little about Moore is whether he will follow through on being a pro-business moderate, which may cause conflicts with the General Assembly. When push comes to shove, would be be willing to veto legislation that’s too leftist like Hogan had done which could draw the ire of activists? I’m not so sure.

What I do know is that the hallmark of his campaign and inaugural address was effectively to promote economic development and improved quality of services for residents of Baltimore which could require either raising taxes or reallocation of resources from other parts of the state.

Hopefully his goal will be to enact policies that bring in major employers and investment to the state to grow the economy to increase the tax base to support that agenda.

I guess we’ll have to see.

If Wes Moore ever runs for president, he'll no doubt be attacked for falsely claiming that he was a bronze star recipient. Just inexcusable.

Umm, sure, OK. Moore was in a terrible field of candidates in liberal MD, so he won by not being terrible. He has no chance on a national stage. Sorry, but good looks aren't enough. (And I'm a Democrat.)

He beat the Comptroller who’s already won statewide and the Obama endorsed former head of the DNC. I’m not sure how much stronger the competition could have been except if a sitting Congressmember would have run.

It wasn't a terrible field at all. There have been terrible fields in the past, but this wasn't one of them. There were multiple well-qualified candidates I would have felt comfortable voting for. I don't know what kind of a Democrat you are.

Having great qualifications doesn't make people great candidates. The field was definitely weak. Moore had great ads, and no one else did. And no one really attacked him. He also, of course, benefited from Repubs picking a total nutjob to run against him rather than someone who actually might be electable.

I cannot believe they are still trying to talk about “electability” even after the election is over and Wes Moore won. Evidently they won’t accept his victory until or unless he can prove it by beating every politician in the state.

NP here but I’m a Franchot voter and I still like Moore and am excited to see what he can do. And I echo the PP who thought the field was good. I had a hard time deciding between Franchot/Moore/Perez because I thought they would all be good. Even John King or Doug Gansler would have been fine.
