And yet the same polls say people favor Democrats holding the Senate by double digits.
I don't get this cognitive dissonance.
I ask again, if you are a DEMOCRAT who would vote for Hogan, for SENATE, why? Why do you like Hogan so much you would give Ted Cruz and co, control over the Senate? And Trone is as moderate as they come. Explain your reasoning?
I am a Democrat and I will be voting for Hogan. I think he is the best choice for Maryland.. I’m also voting for Biden, and I think he is the stronger candidate. Before Hogan was in the race I was all in for Trone.
Same here, except I'm an independent. As for "giving" Republicans control fo the Senate, that's not MD's fault. There are 20+ senate races this fall. Each one of those states makes a difference. It's not all on Maryland.
Exactly. Including Maryland.
I'm voting for the best candidate for MD, which I think is Hogan. I hope voters in other states choose the best candidate for their state also. How that affects control of the senate is not my concern. I vote for people not party.

Because he won't do anything to stop them. Once in office, he will step in line with the GOP (ie MAGA) votes. Will be break a filibuster for DC sttehood? No. Will be vote to ensure a woman's right to choose? No. Will he support sensible gun safety laws? No.
So let's get real about what supporting "independent minded" Hogan will really mean.
Serious question... what MAGA vote has there ever been in the Senate? There is a small minority of Senators who are MAGA, and the only Senate vote that I can remember that supported Trump was the tax package. Refresh my memory.
I can guarantee you that if the Republican side of the Senate was MAGA, Mitch McConnell would not be Minority Leader (or Majority Leader).
