[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This left-leaning moderate would definitely be in favor of Republicans running DC, provided (and this is important) they were sane ones.  No Trumpers, not fundies, etc. I realize moderate Republicans are an endangered species in the 21st Century, but they are still out there.

Like who, Hogan?

He's a guy who many bring up as a sane, "moderate" Republican, and even he has no business touching DC with a ten-foot pole.[/quote]

Larry Hogan, along with Charlie Baker in MA, are two moderate Republican governors in Democratic states that are consistently ranked among the most popular nationally.  [b]We could do a lot worse than Larry Hogan.[/b][/quote]

Talk about damning with faint praise.

Hogan truly is nothing special, he just looks the part when comparing him to other Republican governors. In kowtowing to his rural base, he put the kibosh on a much-needed transit line in Baltimore and hit the pause button on the Purple Line, unnecessarily causing years of delays and costing the state billions; I'd call him a penny wise, pound foolish Republican, but that would just be redundant.

The guy has such a miniscule backbone that he wrote in Ronald Reagan in 2020. Wow, such a pragmatic moderate! Pathetic.[/quote]

A lot of people in the middle with the Hogan's , Romney's, tony Williams (wish I could think of some women's names as well). And we need people in the middle.in DC city council. Cannot believe it just keeps moving further left, but because I'm registered indepedent I can't vote in the run up ugh and the extreme candidates are who make it to the finish line. I wish we could look at our voting procedures too. Lots of people holding their noses with both parties right now [/quote]

This whole “but I’m a free-thinking InDepEnDeNT” is the dumbest self-own ever. Why deny yourself the chance to help shape the final candidates in the general election? There were definitely more moderate Democrats running in the Council primaries in DC.

I’ve told my Republican friends in DC to do the same, but their (white) identity is tied to being a “Republican.” Dummies.[/quote]
