[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the Dems are successful in painting Hogan as falling in line with MAGA despite his claims of independence, then Alsobrooks should do well in the fall.

[/quote]
He has said he’ll caucus with the GOP. Maga. [/quote]
Why wouldn’t he caucus with GOP? He’s a Republican. He was recruited by McConnell. He’s anti-choice, pro corporate tax cuts. The only reason Hogan seemed “moderate“ is because Dems in the MD house and Senate kept him from implementing horrible right wing policies.

I agree he’s not a culture warrior except he’s anti-Choice, but who knows what he would’ve implemented had he thought he could’ve gotten away with it.

Anyone who thinks that Hogan’s going to have a moderating effect on the GOP Isn’t dealing with reality.

TLDR: A vote for Hogan is a vote for Senate leader, Ted Cruz/Josh Hawley[/quote]

Precisely.  Hogan obviously isn't a wild-eyed crazy person like Hawley, Cruz, Vance or Tuberville.  But he'd give those people power if he gives the Republicans the majority.  He'd probably be kind of like Romney or Collins.  He'd sometimes criticize the crazies and Trump, but when it comes down to it he'd vote along with them for the extremist judges, tax cuts for corporations, national abortion ban, etc.  [/quote]

If he votes for an abortion ban, his career is over. [/quote]
We won't have to vote for an abortion ban. He can vote to revive the Comstock Act.

A literal interpretation of the Comstock Act would criminalize sending and receiving shipments of any materials necessary to provide any kind of abortion care without exceptions, although it would be practically impossible to enforce.[/quote]

It would be like Prohibition. What would Dumpf do?  Arrest thousands of suburban women? By the way, Comstock also includes porn, which has its highest usage in red states. [/quote]
Arrest thousands? Sure, if they really wanted to. But more likely it would be applied to woman who the GOP doesn’t like: Democrats, Black women and poor women.

And how dear of you to still give the GOP the benefit of the doubt that the law would be at all applied to Republican men getting porn. This is about controlling women, not men.

So I do hope that people vote sanely and we can maybe put the GOP into the garbage can for good. [/quote]
