It’s Maryland. You put up with Hogan just like Democrats put up with Manchin in West Virginia. Hogan is so liberal that he would probably vote no on Kavanaugh. 50/50 on Gorsuch. But we can’t be picky in Maryland. Same thing in Massachusetts. If we get 6 years, it’s a steal.
I would generally agree with that as far as him being a placeholder (like Susan Collins in Maine) - but Hogan is and has been just totally over the top to go out of his way to attack the GOP and would do far more damage than good. Collins doesn’t go along with us a lot and criticizes other Republicans but it isn’t like what Hogan does.
