Anonymous wrote:I am a former Reagan Republican who has been abandoned by the current MAGA Republican party. I was a Republican who voted for Trump and Hogan in their first elections. I was an independent who voted for Biden and Hogan the second time Trump and Hogan ran for their offices. I like Hogan, I absolutely abhor Trone as a raging hypocrite who only goes with liberal policies because they are politically expediant.

All that said, I cannot vote for Hogan, for a Congressional seat in either chamber of Congress because of current national politics. The current MAGA party is dangerous for our nation and I will do what I can to avoid giving them control of either chamber. So I will vote Democratic for any candidate going to Congress. While I respect a lot of Hogan's positions (and frankly, he pretty accurately represents many of my own personal political mores), I have no faith that he will be able to stand up to the political machinery and he will become a rank and file member of his party should he be elected. There is no bucking the Republican party in Congress. Not safely. It's political suicide.

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.

Perhaps purely coincidentally, this exact statement shows up in a lot of bios for right-wing accounts on Twitter.

I’m 7:53 and, like I said, I’m voting for the best candidate I believe for Maryland. As for right wingers writing that on Twitter, I will say that a broken clock is right twice a day.

The best candidate for Maryland is someone who doesn't vote for the Republican for Senate majority leader.

I’m not debating what you believe versus what I believe because when has arguing with an Internet stranger ever changed anybody’s mind? If Trone wins, I was planning on voting for him, but I will be casting my vote for Hogan.

Then why do you think Hogan is a better candidate, knowing the full scope of how he may vote along with a Republican senate? Trone is no leftist and if all things are equal there isn’t too much ideological distance between the two on fiscal policy. So it really does come down to the party alignment. My sense is if you are a Democrat crossing lines to vote for Hogan and tip the Senate in favor of the Republicans, if you find the fact that he lowered your taxes that one time more favorable than not having someone rubber stamp a bunch of far-right federal judges, then you are probably a Republican.

There is nothing ad-hominem or close-minded about me saying that. It’s an obvious observation that if something walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it’s probably a duck.

At this point the polls are all about name recognition.

I think it would be to the detriment of myself, my family, Maryland, and the entire country to have a Republican Senate, especially with the potential for another Trump term, and will do what I can to prevent that.
