Could you use words, instead of abbreviations, when asking a question? Thank you. You are kidding me right? Here I'll help you. GQP
English Etymology Blend of GOP + QAnon. The GOP stands for "Grand Old Party", the Republican Party of the United States of America, a conservative political party. The usage of "Q" refers to Republican politicians either supporting the QAnon conspiracy theories, or becoming closer to extremism and fascism, represented by the more militant members of the QAnon groups. Proper noun GQP (US politics, slang, derogatory) The Republican Party, especially politicians and members who align themselves with militant extremism. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/GQPSLANG DICTIONARY TFG
tfg [ tee-ef-jee ] WHAT DOES TFG STAND FOR? TFG is an abbreviation that stands for “The Former Guy.” TFG is specifically used to refer to former US President Donald Trump as a way to avoid mentioning him by name in online posts. TFG is typically used by people who oppose Trump to indicate disrespect for him, prevent additional attention, and avoid responses from his supporters. www.dictionary.com/e/slang/tfg/ Trump will never lack for attention here as long as you, EY and the rest of the TDS afflicted crowd exists. Oops, sorry Summer23 - TDS = Trump Derangement Syndrome.

What do you think an election of a non-MAGA Republican is but a direct repudiation of Trump? I ask myself this: how would Hogan vote if made a senator? Inasmuch as the party controls campaign funds, he would vote as McConnell (or his successor) tells him to: pro-Trump. So, no. And as we know the (D)s in the Senate never vote the way Schumer tells them to because the (D)s are high minded and don't not control campaign funds. Isn't that right, EY?

The govt D's that pass the bills. The voter D's liked he undid some of O'Malley. So which is it: your first post: "He removed a lot of O'Malley's doings which were unpopular with most MDer's. your second post: "The voter D's liked he undid some of O'Malley." Either the voter D's liked him or he was unpopular with most D's - he could not be both. I think I see the problem here. "He removed a lot of O'Malley's doings which were unpopular with most MDer's" Steve51 was saying that O'Malley's doings were unpopular. You read it as his removal of those doings was unpopular.

You must buy straw in bulk! Every time you don't want to address an issue you cry "STRAWMAN!". Either the (D)s in the Senate vote the way Schumer tells them to or they don't. Which is it? And if they do, then how are they any different from the (R)s?

Every time I write a comment about Republicans, you try to steer the topic some other direction by fashioning a different argument. Maybe that isn't exactly a strawman, but it's not logic. This thread is about Republicans, and the monster they want to be president, and why that makes voting for Larry Hogan a bad idea. Despite my satisfaction with him as governor. Until the Republicans flush Trump down the commode like what he is, they're a bad idea. Period.

Ohhh I am absolutely sure that EY doesn't mind if challenged, if it is a real argumental point backed by facts. Deflections, which you live and die by. Aren't argumental points.

How to spell ARGUEMENTAL correctly? The correct spelling for the misspelling "arguemental" is argumentative. It can be spelled suitably if one pronounces it slowly, sounding out every syllable. Refraining from rushing the spelling process can assist in preventing this error from recurring. Spell-checking software may also be useful.
I hope that helps....."teacher".

I like Larry Hogan but the absolute last thing the country needs right now is any more Republicans in the Senate. It, in fact, needs fewer Republicans near the levers of power until that party can solve its Trump problem. And since it seems not to see the need to do that, it will likely be a problem until the man dies.

I don't watch a lot of TV, but it strikes me that there seems to be an unending number of Trone commercials. I still haven't seen the first Hogan commercial. That he leads at this point is interesting.

In fact, at least one poster has longed for someone to "take him out". I have no idea what his health is like. He certainly looks unhealthy: significantly overweight, pallid, possible cognitive issues. His mental health is also poor but those problems are not usually directly fatal and certainly not likely to be in his case if they have not been before now. What concerns me is the degree to which is policies will taint the GOP and for how long. It has certainly stood and gotten elected some highly questionable characters, like Green, Jordan, Gosar, Tuberville, Britt and Gaetz. All inadequate for one reason or another and all staunch Trump allies. I will admit to believing the country would be better off if Trump died sooner rather than later, but to the best of my recollection have never hoped someone would "take him out".

But the MdCrats have a long history of assuming that statewide elections are a given and running mediocre candidates. KKT, Brown, really even MOM even though he won. This should be the safest Senate seat in the country. Where is the bench?
