In maryland “hope” is merely an illusion. What there currently is is an aberration that happens there every few years. It will be stifled. There are too many idiot LIBs and gibmedats in that “sanctuary” state.

As a resident of the Old Line state, aka the people’s republic of maryland, I can attest that is truly an aberration to have a republican governor in place. Hogan will likely be a one term governor not unlike Bob Ehrlich several years ago. The voters temporarily wake up from their slumber and through their ballot submissions say “hey, wait a minute”. But like the movie “Awakenings” they will revert to their catatonic state soon enough and return a leftist to the governor’s mansion consistent with the make up of the statehouse.
I lived 30 years in Maryland. I really liked the state, but despised the liberals and crooks who ruined it.
The most recent election showed that there actually is some hope; the GOP has the most representation in the House of Delegates that they’ve ever had: 50 seats (out of 141). They flipped two legislative districts in the last election, and ended up with a gain of 2 senators and seven delegates (MD has 47 districts, each one gets 1 senator and 3 House members). The GOP now has to start making breakthroughs in Montgomery County, as well as trying to pick up two districts in Anne Arundel County that are ‘Rat controlled as well as the Bowie area in Prince George’s County and Columbia area in Howard County. They need 71 seats in the House to take over.
Think this is impossible; look next door at West Virginia, where there was a remarkable GOP sweep in the 2014 election.
Governor Hogan is doing a great job, and appears to have popular support. It took some guts for him to close the Baltimore hoosegow, since drug dealers ran the place; the ‘Rats were so clueless on how to run it that Barf Mikulski filed a bill in the federal Senate to permit government jamming of cell phone frequencies in the vicinity of the prison (apparently most prisoners had cell phones smuggled to them).
Hogan also shut down plans to build the east-west “Red Line” light rail project (there is a north-south “Central Line” in existence that serves the two stadiums in downtown Baltimore along with the airport and the I-83 corridor north of town). What he should do is get funds to complete I-70, which Barf Mikulski had a hand in stopping 40 years ago when she was a city council woperit. Instead of preserving whatever community spirit may have existed in West Baltimore, not building I-70 aided in the deterioration of the city, as commerce moved elsewhere in the metropolitan area.
If Hogan beats his cancer, he’s got a solid shot at getting re-elected.
