He would NOT be better than any Democrat. GOP Maryland voters should be voting for anyone who can stop Hogan.
Hogan in the Senate will fight to be the chief of the Senate Republican Campaign Committee and will thus ensure MAGA candidates are not supported.

DRAIN THE SWAMP does not mean you add Swamp Filth to it.
The more people like Hogan in the GOP, the harder it is for MAGA to take over the party.
