'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."

Three words: prototypical Maryland Republican. Like Micheal Steele, from Prince George’s County.
So I believe we see a Governor in MD so locked into the establishment picture he can’t understand where the people are coming from, and want to go. This perspective will really win him the BIG bucks for a run against Trump. Ignorance really is bliss.
How about thinking of Americans as a whole instead of categorizing everybody into different groups to pander to come election time?
Absolute insane nonsense. The BEST thing a pubbie candidate can do to further their own campaign is to stand before a camera and declare, "I support our president, Donald Trump."
Alienating every non-American you mean?
He just summed up everything wrong with politicians: more worried about alienating groups instead of doing a good job.
Sanctuary policies in MD are contributing to crimes against Americans by fraudulently documented foreigners.
Upon seeing the last two Trump Main Events in Minnesota and Louisiana, WTP believe he might be rethinking that message.
Frankly, all the Republican party has going for it IS PRESIDENT DJT. If not for him, this motley crew would have been tossed in the refuse bin for trash pick-up.
“losing all minorities”? Now that makes for belly shaking laughter.
Women love TRUMP.
BLACKS love TRUMP.
LATINOS/LATINAS love TRUMP.
LAW ENFORCERS AND THEIR WIVES love TRUMP
GRANDMOTHERS love TRUMP.
MOTHERS love TRUMP.
WHO does NOT love Trump?
Muslims
d’rats
Talking heads in Hollywood, television, and the MFM
Those that hate our USA and want to see US destroyed
Margaret Hoover: The same who often appeared on The O’Reilly Factor with Bill?
FU Rat,
How’s that busing situation going for you, Larry, in Howard County?
I’ll betcha that all those lefties will turn red since they are now faced with their own policies.
Sort of like folks in the many leftist departments in NOVA and MD being faced with the specter of their own administrative edicts coming home to roost in their front yards.
Oh, the outrage and sheer disbelief of some who when faced with school changes due to “inequity” turned Gotterdammerung on their fellows who proposed it.
I have to chuckle watching it all.
Love the , “we’re losing every minority group...” Talking point. Which minorities did Romney and McCain win, I’ve forgotten.
The Democratic party has turned into a mostly racist, Marxist party that wants to destroy everything that makes the USA worth anything and those running for the presidential nomination under its banner are either enthusiastically and vocally embracing every modern leftist position there is or are pushing standard deep state propaganda. The real problem, Governor Hogan, is that more Republicans like you aren’t joining Trump in calling this disgusting amalgam of Marxists, warmongers, profiteers, and racists what it is.
East cost republicans are nothing but liberals.
Hogan??? Sounds more like Col. Klink.
?
The seeds of derision were planted years ago by the community organizer Barack Obama and his fellow marxist-muslim coalition members. Now the “death to America” seeds have sprouted and are attacking the unity we had as Americans.
You keep being a Maryland republican, Hogan, and WE SHALL KEEP OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP... A REAL MAN.
I have two questions for Marylanders on Free Republic: 1. Is Hogan a moron? Can an intelligent conservative win a statewide race in Maryland?
2020 isn’t a republican election of Trump, just electing Trump. Republicans can GFT.
Republicans just won a supermajority in the Louisiana legislature.
What the GOP-E is actually upset about is the rift between Trump and “cheap labor”-desiring business donors, who want more illegal aliens.
