Former Republican Governor Larry Hogan announced he will run for Maryland’s open US Senate seat, giving the GOP a strong candidate in a state the party hasn’t carried in a Senate election for decades.

Ok people. Time to get in line and hope this rino wins. He's our best and only hope. Fine-he may go Mittens on us but like Susan Collins he's the best we can do. I'm not saying you should knock on doors or send in some money but we do need butts in the seats. Am I right? If. he's our 50th or 51st senator we'll be not much better off. We've got to get 55 or so and this will help get us there. Give him the lip service to not go Jim Jefforrds on us. He'll have the same power Joe Mancin had on policy. Will Trump support him after all that criticism? Gonna get interesting.

My recommendation years ago. Perhaps he was waiting for an open seat and was stalling with the “No Labels” nonsense.

[MinorityRepublican]

If he’s like Joe Manchin, that’s a huge improvement.

[mewzilla]

He’s Deep State.

SSDD.

Unless we stop allowing Deep State to pick our candidates for us.

All of this blissful talk about No Hero Hogan being acceptable sounds so nice but everything suggests he will be far worse than Willard Delecto and be as “independent” as Comrade Bernie who only runs as an independent so he does not HAVE to contribute to the DSCC.
I’m taking a wait and see on No Hero Hogan.

Yes, best we could do in Maryland. He is known in Maryland, and the mess the Democratic Party has made of the country gives him a real shot.

He would be better than any Democrat elected in Maryland.

Perhaps he is the “best” chance to win, but tell me how did that work out with mittens?

[cyclotic]

He spit in the face of we conservatives who elected us governor. Repeatedly.

[Blue Highway]

Screw this RINO with a raging case of Trump Derangemrnt Syndrome

[marktwain]

What is your point? The choice will be binary. Either Hogan or an unknown Democrat.

Maybe the person who wins the Democratic primary will be better, but it is not the way to bet.

It would be great to get a Trump type Republican in Maryland, but I see no way to do it in 2024.

A RINO!!! McConnell’s pick I bet.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

ARE YOU CRAZY??? I will NEVER go back to electing some stinking RINO just because there is an R next to his name!!!! Have we NOT LEARNED ANYTHING?? JEEZE people wake the hell up you are still sleeping!! This guy is another McCain and McConnell who have BETRAYED us at every damn turn!! Is Collins ANY DIFFERENT than a Dem is Mittens any different than a Dem??? Once this stinking guy is in there he is ANOTHER puppet of McConnell, I suggest we find someone from a different state that we can count on a a Senator for OUR SIDE to hell with this adding another RINO we can’t get rid of for life!!!

I hope others recognize your wisdom

[blitz128]

I imagine you are right, until people who want what is best for America are elected, not much will change. Basing winning on the numbers of Rs vs Ds, no matter what kind of people they are is not really winning.

That is the tragic reality

[Fresh Wind]

Hogan won’t be allowed to win.

[bigdaddy45]

Three Supreme Court justices

[Ann Archy]

Amen.....he will vote right maybe 50% of the time and a Democrat will vote right 0% of the time. Take the RINO....for now.

[Dan in Wichita]

Here's how I see it: Someone who is with us 50% of the time is better than someone who is with us 0% of the time. That's what Hogan will bring. Also, Hogan will count as an R which helps toward building a majority in the Senate.

I don't plan to send $$$ to Hogan, but I hope he wins.

[BlackbirdSST]

I hope others recognize your wisdom

There is no wisdom in electing the lesser evil. It may be inevitable but that isn't wisdom.

[Apparatchik]

100% I would vote for a bag of dog excrement with an “R” on it so so long it can win and give control of the Senate to the GOP, especially since it will help Trump 47 in making our country safe, strong, and prosperous again.

Harry Logan is that bag, but he’s the only one who can win in MD.
