[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see the reasoning for Hogan staying out of the Senate race. He's not that old. He's pretty popular in MD across the political spectrum. This should be a no-brainer decision for him.

I'm guessing he might have unpublicized health issues/cancer reemergence and that's giving him pause. If that's the case, then it's better to spend out the rest of your years with your family instead of commuting to Capitol Hill. [/quote]

He might have presidential ambitions and a term in the Senate being browbeaten and cowed by McConnell probably isn't going to help his credentials.[/quote]

He might have ambitions, but unless Trumpism dies, he doesn't stand a chance.[/quote]

I agree with that! He may be making the calculation that eventually the party will no longer be in thrall to the Trumpist wing (God, wouldn't that be nice!). But if he's going to try to take his whole sensible moderate Republican shtick nationwide, a Senate term in which he is bullyragged by Mitch into obstructing reasonable legislation and taking MAGA positions may very well spell the end of his ambitions.[/quote]

Exactly.  The trick will be keeping his name in the news without becoming associated with the MAGAs and also not becoming the object of their hate.  A position in the senate doesn’t fit the bill.[/quote]
