Alsobrooks has my vote today.
And Hogan has my vote in November.

After all that Trone has spent on ads, if he is not the Senator come November it's a massive fail.

HE should've held a press conference and addressed it big time. He just sort of apologized and blew it off. There were all kinds of rumors going around on sites like Nextdoor...saying he was talking about a black republican when he said that. SMH...I tried to set the record straight when I could, but that made people emotional. Then he had that ad where a black woman referred to the senate not being a place for training wheels or something. That ad POed black women again. Then his ads just became annoying...lol.

I can't vote in Maryland's primaries but the more I've learned about Trone, the less I like.
Is it true that he donated to TX governor Greg Abbott? Seems like a dealbreaker in a Dem primary.

Supposedly just the cost of doing business in TX...but yeah the more I see of him the slimier he feels.

I hope if Alsobrooks wins today that she can defeat whichever Trumpist the GOP sends to the general.

I also think if he gets to the Capitol, the Whip will take him aside and explain to him how politics work in Congress, and if he wants GOP support in the future he will toe the line. And I think he will accede. He has already said he has no plans to leave the party and will caucus with it, which tells me he's not independent enough to tell the Whip to pound sand.

This has got to be one of the silliest things you have ever posted. Who should he caucus with EY, the Democrats? Sit in a corner and talk to himself? Of course he is going to caucus with the Republicans as not doing so would exclude him from any base to act on anything. Hogan is 67. He'll be 73 at the end of his term. He has already had a go-round with cancer. He'll be a Republican in a deep blue State, so he knows if he wants a second term, he can't disappoint the voters here too badly. More realistically, he is smart enough to know that this is very likely his one shot to do something on the federal level, so I doubt he is going to be overly impressed by the Whip.

It appears that it was Trone that pissed off black women.

If a MAGA runs against him in the primary he’ll lose. Nope. Did not happen.

I would be fine with Alsobrooks winning in November.
I would like it better if Hogan wins. We shall see.

I think this all but guarantees Hogan wins in November. To be fair, Hogan is the best candidate the GOP could run in this race so it will be competitive for sure. But at the end of the day, I think the fact that control of the US Senate is on the line will give Alsobrooks the edge in November. I think Hogan could win but he's not a lock to win...

Ficker still got 30% of the vote. But virtually none of those 30% are going to vote for Alsobrooks. They will either hold their nose and vote Hogan or stay home. And as progressive as Alsobrooks is, I can't see them staying home.

And as progressive as Alsobrooks is, I can't see them staying home. A lot of it will depend on what Trump tells them to do. So Hogan’s going to have to play nice with Donny. That won’t bode well for a senate campaign in MD.

Hogan has never "played nice" with Trump. He will not start now.

Of course, all this really means is that the electoral preseason starts today in Maryland, with the real season kicking off as soon as the conventions are over.
