Romney did not work for it as hard as DJT.

Believe it baby, believe it! Just donated again to Trump.

Trump is extremely popular where I live in western Maryland, and I think he has a good chance of winning the same way Hogan did, by carrying the entire state except for Baltimore City, Prince Georges, Montgomery, and Frederick counties.

Thank you for your perspective. I’m not familiar with Maryland politics and assume it’s mostly blue. Are there many/any red counties?

“I can certainly vouch that western Maryland has the hills to prove it.”

I frigging love that area ... I’ve been to Deep Creek (though that’s too “crowded” for me overall :-) ).

I’m looking at some land a bit north from there ... up near Yough lake in PA ... US 40 has a lot of interesting history along it :-).

There is a blue malignancy encircling the beltway.

Tyranny of the minority.

They are not Merliners nor do they represent true Merlin ideals.

FWIW, Hagerstown has a large Dem vote because the cons who make parole from the local prison complex *rarely* go back to the rocks they crawled out from under...but even Hagerstown is lousy with Trump signs and maybe a few for Killary.
[I’ve only personally seen *one*]

Same with the Cumberland area since there’s another prison complex up there, plus the idiot liberals at Frostburg U.

Stinking Glendenning touted W.MD as at ‘great place to live’ to his filthy, felonious minions and the libs migrated.

Not many left, now.

Hillbilly hostility is just as famous as their hospitality.

/if you’re not a local, do *not* ask me for directions, when you’re lost..you won’t like where you end up

But isn’t Hogan one of the R governors in ‘blue” states who came out and said he is not voting for Trump?

I suspect MD is much like MA. 8/10 of the state is solid Republican but the cities are all Democrat.

You win just enough of the cities and the state turns miraculously red to the plebes and the MSM.

You win by going after the black vote in the cities, like Trump is attempting. I just wish he was more aggressive in courting their vote. Merely mentioning them at his rallies is not enough. He needs to visit them in their neighborhoods, go on black radio, etc.

And too many people with financial ties to the federal government. The odds of Trump winning both states are extremely remote in my opinion

Basically true, but there are also a million or two cleared contractors who are not happy with her extremely reckless handling of classified material. Among those folks there are not a lot of Trump supporters but there are some.

Romney did not have the level of enthusiasm and support that Trump has.

Maryland is occupied by a bunch of government suck-ups, bureaucrats, and parasites, also known as government contractors. But if Hogan could win there, so can Donald.

Maryland gets a bad rap because of the groups you’ve cited and because of the scum in Baltimore, but the majority of native residents on the Eastern Shore and in western Maryland are a different breed altogether.

he has a big outreach (black leadership, church people) that we are not really seeing, because we are not them or where they are. But one of his outreach ladies was on some news show and she absolutely obliterated the news anchors with her clear concise vision of a Trump presidency. it was a thing of beauty. and if this is the type of people he has reaching out, then believe me, he is reaching people.

Hello, Mom. Good question. There are many red or purple counties. However, Baltimore City, Montgomery County, and Prince George's County (my home) dominate in population and Dem registrations. MoCo and PG wrap around the east and north of DC and have many government employees and contractors as residents. Prince George's is the richest majority black county in perhaps the world. Much of that wealth comes from government contracts and quite a few government jobs.

The gerrymandering we talk about is why we have a single Republican in an 8 member Congressional delegation. With sensible districts we would probably have 3 now and might even have 4.

My parents own a house in Upper Marlboro. I lived in Forestville for a time. Those areas now are heavily black.

I am sure that there are a lot of honest government workers (my father was civilian at the pentagon for 20 years and also private research analysis), lots of people do not want the fubar government we have.

Well Trump is a northerner. Remember Ted Cruz said Trump had New York values? Maybe Maryland people feel comfortable with Trump. Hell I do and I'm from the deep south panhandle of Florida. I don't give a crap if Trump has Swahili values. He's got values which is eons more than the grifters have got.
