Hogan will lose because he promoted that stupid Eastern shore pandering school calendar, lifted restrictions on the carrying of concealed weapons, didn't fight Trump on the Muslim ban... and because people don't want the Senate to flip.

Remember when Hogan lied about MCPS while school staff were getting death threats?
Match 21, 2017: "Governor Hogan was visibly heated Tuesday, pulling no punches when he revealed that MCPS officials have refused to answer state requests for information. He says people have a right to know more than what they've been told. "Why is an 18-year-old man in a class with 13 or 14-year-old girls? Why was his status not known to those folks? Why was he allowed to enter the country after he was picked up for illegally crossing the border--both of them? So there are a lot of questions," Hogan told FOX 5's Tom Fitzgerald." https://www.fox5dc.com/news/md-governor-calls-out-mcps-lack-of-cooperation-in-rockville-high-rape-case 2 days later: "Hogan took a more conciliatory tone Thursday morning, when he came to the county with U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to read a Dr. Seuss book at Bethesda’s Carderock Springs Elementary. “We kind of want to let everybody do their jobs,” Hogan told reporters when asked about the case. “I think the school system is taking it seriously, the police are taking it seriously, and there’s obviously a federal component to it that we’ve got to pay attention to.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/md-politics/2017/03/23/4c53eb12-0f74-11e7-9b0d-d27c98455440_story.html |
These are definitely some of the reasons why I am not voting for him. |
Because he said so early on when he was just starting his campaign. When asked if he would be independent, he explicitly stated that he would caucus with the Republicans. And this was what they were counting on when the Republican party leadership first reached out to him. And despite being a critic of Trump in the past, Trump has endorsed Hogan because Trump knows that Hogan may be the only prayer that the RNC has of getting a Republican elected Senator in MD. Also, he is getting funds from Republican PACs. You can bet that if he hadn't committed to caucusing with the Republican Party that he would not be getting the PAC money for his campaign. And considering how much money he's spent on airtime, he is spending a lot more than his campaign is raising on their own. |
Alsobrooks 51-Hogan 40

Alsobrooks really has some great TV ads. Really excellent work calling out Hogan for not really being the moderate that he claims. The most recent one, where Hogan gives credit to Trump and says he nominated "incredible justices," just months after Roe was struck down, is very well done. I think Hogan said all these very revealing things before he got roped into running for senator and started trying to hide who he is. |
Relieved to hear this, haven't seen any. |
A lot of misinformation here. Everyone really needs to do there own research. |
Yes, we've researched and concluded that Hogan will do whatever the Senate Republicans want him to do. He'll vote for McConnell as speaker, he'll block any Democratic Supreme Court justices and federal judges, and he'll vote for tax cuts for the wealthy. |
What’s your evidence backing up your Connie statements? She voted against the Clinton impeachment, by the way. She lost to CVH because the Dems redistricted after the census. Signed, someone who knew them both very well |
We’d be fortunate if he voted for McConnell, as bad as that is. McConnell is stepping down as leader and all of the candidates to replace him are more MAGA. |
I think the final margin will be even bigger. People thought Trone was going to win the primary and Alsobrooks won in a landslide. She has a hidden strength. |
She lost because of the rise of the Gingrich Congress. Despite her seniority she never got any important committee assignments and had no influence within the Republican caucus. People liked her personally but there was no point. |
Why have the polls been trending in the same direction for so long without stabilizing?
