[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Help me understand. I keep reading about voting for Hogan as dangerous for the Senate because of the majority .Are there any other seats that are potentially flipping either one way or the other?

I am voting for Hogan, but I want to understand why people who like him are voting for him because of the Senate.

And if you’re curious, I’m not a Trumper. In fact, I loath him and I’m voting for Biden.[/quote]

I don’t know which senate seats could potentially be flipped this election cycle, but I think it’s a very safe assumption that if Hogan wins, Republicans will have a senate majority.  That means that if Biden also wins, his Supreme Court nominees (if there is an opening) will never even get a vote, just like Merrick Garland.  Then Republicans will likely win the midterms and a golden opportunity to reshape the SC will evaporate forever.

If both Hogan and Trump win, please don’t fool yourself into thinking that “moderate” Larry Hogan will courageously stand up to Trump and MAGA and block Trump’s SC nominees.  I absolutely guarantee you that this will not happen.  He will wither under the pressure and fall in line just like every Republican before him and Trump’s nominee will be on the Court for the next 40 years.[/quote]

Remember when Kavanaugh looked Susan Collins in the eye? [/quote]

I don’t know what this means. Please explain.[/quote]

“When I met with Justice Kavanaugh before his confirmation hearings, he looked me in the eye and said that he considered Roe v. Wade the law of the land,” she said. “Nothing in his confirmation hearings suggested that he would ever be less than trustworthy with a woman.”

Hogan will likewise fall into line and vote to confirm any republican nominee [/quote]
