Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is holding a commanding lead over the top Democratic candidate for Senate, according to a new poll. In a potential race between the Republican and Congressman David Trone, Hogan leads 49%-33%. The Ragnar Research Partners poll surveyed 600 likely voters, pitting Hogan against top Democrats running for the soon-to-be vacant Senate seat held by Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin. He plans to retire. The former governor fared even better when Hogan was matched against Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks 52%-29%. Hogan threw his hat into the ring earlier this month after early speculation that he

He isn’t much of a Republican, but much better than the alternative.

As much as I dislike Hogan his democrat opponents are your typical Green Party/Socialist/Fascist/Democrats. You have to root for him as the clear lesser of 2 evils. The only fix for Maryland is to roll Eastern MD, DC and Northern Virginia in to one leftist state and allow Western MD and Southern Virginia to prosper again.

Republicans will be sweeping every honest election, even if they are lightweights.

I would settle for a Whig instead of another bloodthirsty Communist.

This doesn't take into account the fraud that *will* be conducted. And why not? Nothing ever happens to correct it.

Would Hogan be any better than Cardin?
Maybe - - but not by much.

He's a RINO, not much better than a Dem, frankly.

If commercials were votes, David Trone would win in a landslide. One can't watch any channel in the Baltimore area, view any Youtube video, or even listen to many radio stations without one of his commercials appearing. It's been like this for the last six months. The commercials alone show this guy as some Marxist clown whose all in on identity politics. Just the kind of hole this country doesn't need and who we have way too many of in politics.

#8, It's just as bad in the DC area. Troll has been running ads here since the day after the last election. You can't watch the local news in the morning without being constantly bombarded by his ads. It's so obnoxious. His latest ad is boasting how his lips are surgically attached to Randi Whinefarten's butt. Harry Logan may be a RINO in the Mitt Romney/Liz Cheney mold, but that's still an improvement over the libtard agenda rubber stamp we'd get with Troll.

Is a RINO any better than a Dem? Well, not much, but in the Senate, PERHAPS the RINO might be persuaded to support a Constitutionalist SCOTUS replacement for the Wide Latina. Not a chance with a Dem.

RINOs are just as destructive as dems. They're the best we can do in some areas, and that's not good. At all.

Hogan always reminds me of a less-yellow Homer Simpson. He's far from my favorite candidate, but better than some airhead, liberal "Lisa" type,.

It isn't that Hogan is so popular with Republicans , it's just that Cardin and these other dingbats are so lousy.
Hogan will be another Mitt Romney of Collins, it will be a crapshoot how he votes, for he has RINO blood in his veins.

Well, Mittens will be gone. I guess I can hold my nose long enough to deal with Hogan and the lady from Maine. We should have solid conservatives in Utah and West Virginia, so unless Turtle really screws this one up (certainly a real possibility), it looks good for a GOP Senate.
The trick will be to maintain that majority in 2026 and 2028.

Dems: "OK, polls say that we are behind by 16 points. At the current rate of 100,000 votes per a single percentage point, that means we need to print an additional 1.6 million mail in ballots."

As a Maryland resident, I agree Hogan is better than any Democrat. Having said that, I must add he is a never-Trumper. Won’t say Trump’s name in an interview. During covid he wouldn’t say his name! He was reasonable for our state during covid lockdown with the information we had at the time. But be warned, he doesn’t like Trump. He likes compromise and “getting along” with the opposition.

Poster #3 has is absolutely correct. Every "honest" election will be won by "Republican" candidates, even though some of those will be Rinos. All you have to do is look at the results of the 2022 election in Florida. If we have more states with stricter voting laws, like Florida, we'll get Republicans elected. The cheat is all demonrats have, which is actually all they've had for quite a while.

I don't care if he's much more liberal than many in other parts of the country, but that's what you have to do in this upcoming election.
Realize that you ONLY govern and have the GAVEL, if you are the majority party in either the House or the Senate. Take what you can get in the state they are in which may not be as conservative as the state you reside.

We need the Senate for Trump & SCOTUS nominations for when Sotomayor falls.
