[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a former Reagan Republican who has been abandoned by the current MAGA Republican party.  I was a Republican who voted for Trump and Hogan in their first elections.  I was an independent who voted for Biden and Hogan the second time Trump and Hogan ran for their offices.  I like Hogan, I absolutely abhor Trone as a raging hypocrite who only goes with liberal policies because they are politically expediant.

All that said, I cannot vote for Hogan, for a Congressional seat in either chamber of Congress because of current national politics.  The current MAGA party is dangerous for our nation and I will do what I can to avoid giving them control of either chamber.  So I will vote Democratic for any candidate going to Congress.  While I respect a lot of Hogan's positions (and frankly, he pretty accurately represents many of my own personal political mores), I have no faith that he will be able to stand up to the political machinery and he will become a rank and file member of his party should he be elected.  There is no bucking the Republican party in Congress.  Not safely.  It's political suicide.[/quote]
I would say that NOT bucking the MAGAs  in the Senate would be political suicide for Hogan in Maryland. Part of his appeal to moderate Dems and Republicans and independents is that he is not MAGA. It’s not like he’s a Republican running in a crazy @ss state like Alabama where he has to join the crazy to win and stay in office, he’s running in a traditionally Democratic state. If he goes to the Senate and all of a sudden turns MAGA, he’s a one and done. He’s also politically savvy enough to know this. [/quote]
