Larry Hogan edges toward 2020 challenge to Trump: 'I'm taking it more seriously'

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Gov. Larry Hogan is stepping up preparations for a 2020 White House bid as he moves slowly toward challenging President Trump in the Republican primary.

Maryland’s chief executive has been holding regular meetings with his political team to pore over data and mull how a campaign against Trump might unfold. Hogan also is using previously scheduled travel to more than a dozen states, including an invitation to Utah to attend Sen. Mitt Romney’s annual summit with top Republican insiders, to meet with political operatives, donors, and business leaders.

Hogan, 62, has insisted he is not interested in launching a kamikaze mission against Trump, who is popular with Republican voters and has won over some previously skeptical party bigwigs. But the governor confirmed Tuesday that his position on 2020 has shifted.

He has got to be joking. Can't be serious.
Wow! Winning the governor's race twice in Maryland has really gone to his head!
I like him and support him but, POTUS!!! Really, Larry???
A 3 legged horse has a better chance of winning the Preakness.

I have no clue why he'd do this. He has no chance unless Trump gets impeached. And even then no chance.
Just another Martin O'Mally stunt.

Aw he was just fishing....keepin his name out there. Can't figure out why except he that he can. Heck the man beat the big "C" so sky's the limit in his mind. I'm sure common sense will prevail, sooner rather than later.

Stay home Larry where you belong and not make a fool of yourself.

What planet is he on to think he even has a snowballs chance in Hell? He's not even a good Governor, he has done nothing good for Maryland during his brief stint as Governor even. Has he been drinking the Pelosi, Schumer, Waters, Cortez, Kool Aide. Trump won't have to eat him for breakfast, he's a nobody, Trump will brush him off like a fly.

Another Md. embarrassment brought to you by the liberal voters of Md. Fix Baltimore first Larry.

Just proves he is a chameleon Democrat and not a Republican. He has done very little to nothing to improve Maryland and their citizens life. Hogan is getting a lot of Democrat support and push because they have seen how he has been pushed around and controlled by the Democrats in his tenure in Maryland.

Don't waste your time. I am really disappointed with his view of our President.

WTF would his political platform be?? Hey America come look at the state of Maryland and the disarray I've created. Did I forget to mention I've literally sat back and watched Baltimore MD become a third world city full of MURDER and drugs?

10:36, how can liberal voters have elected him into office when 90% of Prince George's County voted for the Democrat opponent?

The cancer is playing with his thinking process

He'll get as far as O'Malley did....NOWHERE! What a dunce. The only reason he is criticizing Trump is to get his name in the media, because they'll publish anyone anti-Trump. Hogan is looking for campaign funds he can vacation on.

Larry Hogan, don’t let your popularity suck you in, you can not beat Trump.I am a big supporter of you, but will vote for Trump!

Like O'Malley, Hogan can't get over living off the government teat. He wants to suck it dry. He looks like he already has.
