Democrats attack Gov. Larry Hogan, say he's silently endorsing Trump

BALTIMORE —The national Democratic Governors Association is going after Republican Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, accusing him of silently supporting presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.

The DGA is lumping Hogan in with eight other governors and dubbing them "The Silent 9."

Hogan is a man of few words regarding Trump. For example, the governor told The Associated Press in March, "I'm not a Trump fan. I don't think he should be the nominee."

But local and national Democrats say that's not enough. They said by failing to speak out and declaring Trump a danger to his party, the state and the country, Hogan is helping him.

"Absolutely, it is a silent endorsement. By doing nothing, he caused the outcome," said Patrick Murray, executive director of the Maryland state Democratic Party. "Frankly, Larry Hogan had ample opportunity to convince Maryland Republicans that Donald Trump is dangerous for our state and our country. He didn't take those opportunities."

Why they are backing Hillary who has assisted in destroying the US and making us a Muslim style government

So what if he is. Mike Miller and Mike Busch are the closest things to the KKK you'll find in this state. If you DON'T agree with them
then you're conspiring with the enemy (anyone who believes in honesty). He's a Republican and so is Trump what's the flap. They're
sore because Trump is going to run the Government in a progressive manner whether they like it or NOT. GET USED TO IT. Bob Aswell

Hogan can start attacking The Donald just as soon as those same democrats start attacking that untrustworthy Clinton (choose one, it applies to both).

If that is so, he knows what this country needs and is voting the only way
he has a chance to help get it for our country.

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw in College Park after a Maryland Game. It said: Piss off a Liberal - Work Hard and be Happy. Nuff said.

Why do they keep forgetting that we have all the right to support the candidate of our choice. All this name-calling, irrational protesting, and trying to take people's choices away from them is ridiculous .

They could rename some of those democrats "the mafia". I think they see their free ride slipping away and they will do anything to gain it back. Take a good look at MSEA. A lot of our educational mess is due to their lack of research. They weren't in Annapolis fighting for the students of Maryland. They just saw money coming and they wanted a chunk of it! GREED

Democrat liberalism has failed everywhere it has been tried.

Hogan supporting Trump is not controversial. Trump is the Republican nominee and will use commonsense rather than politics to fix America.
