[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is saying she is unqualified "offensive"? That is a fact. Being county executive of a 40k person town doesn't make you qualified to be a US Senator! [/quote] What were Trump’s qualifications to be POTUS?[/quote] What is wrong with a Harris | Hogan ballot???[/quote] People who are disconnected from state politics don't understand. Hogan is no an anti Trump. He may say he is but he is actually the "lipstick on a pig" version of Trump. I will give Hogan that he is against J6 and that makes him meet a very low standard of acceptability. But he is anti immigrant and quietly stokes hatred against immigrants just like the GOP (e.g. falsely claiming a school was not cooperating with police in regards to an alleged rape by undocumented students - school got death threats). He redirected state funding from mass transit in Baltimore to roads projects near his properties. He refused to send more covid vaccines to Montgomery County where there was demand for them. He spent millions on Covid tests from Korea that couldn't be used - without following basic rules for public spending (they had no written contract, no procurement process, no checking to see if they met fda requirements). Under his watch the GDP of Maryland did not grow one little bit (but his business made money).[/quote] Some great and fair points you make. Maryland is one of the worst states to live in thanks to Hogan and PG County is one of the worst counties to live in thanks to Alsobrooks so please tell me how in the heck we wound up with these two political hacks as our major party state Senate seat options? It's as bad as our choice for POTUS.[/quote] You obviously don't live in PG County. PG County is very supportive of Alsobrooks and what she's done for our county in the last 6 years. I was a Republican when I voted for both of these individuals (now an Independent) and have lived in PG County for over 32 years now. Hogan was okay and was certainly better than the alternatives in his elections, but he was not nearly as good for MD as Alsobrooks was for PG. During Alsobrooks term, she continued to the cleanup of county government that discouraged Pay for Play and gave more accountability and required more transparency from politicians in Upper Marlboro. She cleaned up the police department and decreased corruption, racism and overspending. She continued improving the school district. New schools were built and low income schools were upgraded with new facilities. New charter programs were introduced benefitting more students. We used to be a box store and upper income wasteland for major businesses. We had several food desert areas. The county is now able to attract more businesses including supermarkets in lower income areas and businesses attracted to higher income customers. We no longer have to travel out of county to get better shopping and retail. Housing prices have been one of the highest improving in the Washington metropolitan area. The county had significant problems through the tenure of Jack Johnson. First Rushern Baker, and now Angela Alsobrooks have made significant improvements over the last 15 years. Many more improvements than MD saw under Hogan.[/quote]
