'FIRING LINE' WITH MARGARET HOOVER: Governor Larry Hogan (R-MD) joins Firing Line to discuss the Trump impeachment inquiry. Hogan addresses reports that he was considering a primary run against the President, discusses the state of the Republican party, and talks about his record as a Republican governor leading a blue state.
(snip)
Hogan on Trump alienating groups of people: "We're getting to the people where we're losing suburban women, we're losing all minorities. We're alienating every group we possibly can and we're down to a smaller, shrinking base. Now the president seems to be doubling down on that, that kind of strategy, which may help him to be re-elected. I'm not sure. But it's hurting the Republican party in all the competitive races across the country."

In political circle, this is sending out feelers to see if he can attract any $$$$ for his personal ego/ambition. There is zero chance he's going to primary Trump.
Secondly, Trump's doubling down on his promises to the base may help him get re-elected but hurt the Republican party?
Gov. Larry Hogan (R-MD) may not know this, but the base is fed up with exactly the same kind of Republicans like Hogan. I can NOT express how disgusted I am with these "Republicans".
They can try, but it’s not going to work — we hope.
the base is fed up with exactly the same kind of Republicans like Hogan.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bush League Republican.
Kinder, gentler, open borders.
Democrats in R jerseys.
Yep it definitely showed in the Louisiana results
Trump is only alienating America-hating socialists and communists.
If you tell a lie long enough, people will begin to believe it. (Goebbels?)
So Trump gets stadiums with tens of thousands of alienated people all over the country?
Maybe Hogan should get out more, see the world...talk to people.
Two words: Fat bastard
. “GOP Gov. Larry Hogan (MD): Republicans “Alienating Every Group We Possibly Can” With Trump”
Maryland (MD) an extension of DC sprawl with its only industry as government and its only product as bureaucracy.
And its Governor aligning himself, excuse me, itself as GOP is a joke and that said Governor complaining about alienating every group it can with Trump is called ...
WINNING!
Because every group in MD alienated with the word TRUMP is a group that Americans can do without.
Republicans like him are korporatists looking the world over for cheap labor and trade deals that benefit only the Chamber. We need national sovereignty first.
The ‘opinion’ of the ‘Governor’ of a state that has one of the worst crime-ridden cities that qualifies it as a shithole doesn’t mean a thing.
This guy is nuts.
Concentrate on making Baltimore at least appear to be a safe place to be......
We’ll need for him to run for the Senate.
President Trump and conservatives do not view America as "groups". Hogan has totally bought into the idea that there are myriad "groups" which you must appease.
There is only one America, not the fractured insanity perpetrated by Hogan and the Democrats.
Good. I detest “Groups” and group think. I prefer those tens of thousands of individuals at those massive rallies.....you fool. Oh, I have my ticket for this Thursday in Dallas. I plan on seeing him. Any words of advice on attending a Trump really are appreciated. Thanks.
Yet “Republican” Hogan would never say the same about Democrats despite the ample evidence of radical control of the Democrat Party.
Fat boy gotta keep kissing Dem Maryland ass instead of concentrating on the mess that is in Baltimore.
Wow, talk about disconnected from reality...
As soon as learns the the poll that said the majority supports impeachment was wtong, he’ll be changing his tune.
The only groups Trump is alienating are those groups that would never vote for him, or pretty much any other Republican, in the first place. These include:
Liberal Arts graduates who live in upper middle class neighborhoods, listen to NPR every morning, shop at the neighborhood organic food store or coop, and who have essentially zero contact with or knowledge about the ‘downtrodden’ they theoretically and abstractly support.
Academics
Lawyers - who know that the Democrats will never mess with attorneys the way they have gone after physicians and others associated with medicine.
Socialists/Marxists
The Pro-abortion crowd
The Pro-reparations crowd
The Pro-CAIR crowd.
Those feminists who actually hate men.
