Gov. Hogan avoids Trump trap set by Maryland Democrats, stays far ahead of Jealous in polls

Maryland Democrats are hoping voters are so dismayed by what is happening across the border in the District of Columbia that they will take it out on Gov. Larry Hogan in this year’s elections.

Mr. Hogan is among the most popular governors in the country despite being a Republican in deep-blue Maryland, and Democrats are desperate to try to ruin the relationship. One of their chief weapons is President Trump.

In one line of attack, Democrats are demanding that Mr. Hogan take a stand on Mr. Trump’s nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court and say the fate of abortion rights hangs on the next justice.

Democrats also have accused Mr. Hogan of joining Mr. Trump to undermine the legitimacy of the special counsel’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

Mr. Hogan said those issues aren’t relevant to his job, and voters so far seem to be OK with that.

Hogan is doing well because he believes in common sense over simply towing the same tired party lines. You all should be demanding a politician like him in all offices. Yes, do make your principles clear. But govern with the understanding that neither side has a monopoly on whats right.

@12:34 I'd like to add this is the ONLY reason I haven't gone into local politics and embarrassed pussies like a Jake day or this new idiot pretty boy Anderton. I would enjoy ridding salisbury of assholes like Palmer gilliss, and butting heads with John cannon. So you younger sissies should be thankful that the rough not easily intimidated like myself are frowned upon and you soft ass girly men are

Yes, Hogan is a RINO, but Benny Jealous is a straight out Communist Organizer, just like his "role model" Mighty Barack. So with that in mind, got no choice but to go with Hogan, abd hope next election for much better and stronger candidate. Otherwise we, Marylanders would be Totally Screwed. Kinda like those folks in da Bury who got Folked again, first with Liar Ireton and now with Fake Day.
