Hogan isn’t a ‘non-MAGA’; he’s been virulently ANTI-Trump.
I appreciated in the beginning that we actually elected a Republican; but in general, I was really disappointed in him.
Hogan governed as far to the right as anyone would be able to in Maryland. The choices in Maryland are always limited. You can have blue or you can have bluish. But red is not an option. Look at Baltimore, the democrats are killing that city and the citizens within. But they keep voting for what they get. There are some deep red areas but they’re segregated and jerrymandered out into the blue districts so that they’re not represented.
So the point he’s making is that we nominated Dan Cox who can never get elected in Maryland because he’s a conservative. We should have nominated Kelly Schultz, because she is a red-hat democrat with an R next to her name. A ‘common sense republican’ who will bend over for the blue mafia. Then we can listen to people say “what are you complaining about? Your governor’s a republican!”
Some people rather have a democrat in office than spend 12 years being repeatedly stabbed in the back by a republican. we have to remember that Never-Trump republicans are a part of the uniparty. They’re the ones that are a part of ‘the Wheel’ that trump was trying to break.
