[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]

[b]It would be like Prohibition. What would Dumpf do?  Arrest thousands of suburban women?[/b] By the way, Comstock also includes porn, which has its highest usage in red states. [/quote]

Maybe. If you don't understand that there would be targeted investigations and targeted arrests for the purposes of embarrassing, harassing, and intimidating women advocating for their human and civil rights, then please understand that. And red state governments would fully embrace Comstock and probably enact parallel state laws. WAKE UP.

If you don't believe it - well, remember the 10 year old Ohio girl who was pregnant as a result of rape and who had to travel our of the state for an abortion? Remember how the right said it was all a lie...until it turned out to be completely true. Remember how the Indiana AG then opened an investigation into the doctor that provided the abortion.

Remember how the general counsel of National Right to Life said that the 10 year old not only should have been prevented from having the abortion, but that she would ultimately understand it and would benefit from having the child?

This is the reality and the future that many people in power want for you and your children. Why anyone would think this is something that just wouldn't happen is beyond me at this point. [/quote]
