I see your point, to a degree. It’s kind of like a Hobson’s Choice.
Personally, I never voted for Hogan.
The first time, I expected him to lose to former Lt. Gov. Brown and didn’t go to the polls.
The second time, I just couldn’t forgive him for his constant criticism of President Trump and gave a vote to the Libertarian candidate.
Other than voting for President Trump four times, my only other motivation is to retain my CD Rep. Dr. Andy Harris (the sole GOP Rep out of Maryland’s eight CDs) every two years.
Hogan’s open borders and sanctuary cities stance, which only exacerbates our crime rates, not to mention any progress whatsoever as far as Baltimore is concerned, is outrageous.
Finally, his economic policies (taxes) hardly invite businesses to invest in Maryland.
BTW, while hospitalized a couple years ago, I heard nurses bemoaning our state’s confiscatory taxes.
Hopefully, Hogan’s high office aspirations will meet with a swift rejection. IMO, he ought to be more at home in the RAT party.
Hogan would have about as much of a chance at a Republican nomination as Kasich did.
