Assuming Trump becomes President next year and he wants to nominate Ken Paxton of Texas as his Attorney General. It is probable that the next U.S. Senate will have a Republican majority; even some Democrats will concede that as likely. A Senator Larry Hogan, along with Murkowski and Snowe, and possibly Cornyn due to the feud between the former and Paxton, will oppose the nomination. I don't know enough about Maryland politics to know if a third party conservative can win, but it would be worth a try.

No conservative can win in Maryland. Hogan is not a conservative, even though he is a Republican. He is a successful businessman and every once in a while, Maryland elects a Republican to try to get its finances straightened out.
