Yes, Hogan can win, partly because he’s popular in Maryland and partly because people (me included) are not particularly excited about the democrats running against him. I’ll vote for whomever the nominee in November, but others may not. If many democrats who don’t like Biden this year won’t vote in November, that will vastly improve Hogan’s chances.
Yes, 100% agree. That is why it should be a test to be able to vote
Trone spent about ten times as much as Angela, i think, and still lost.Angela Alsobrooks is the projected winner. Good.
In my county, Nikki Haley is receiving 36% of the votes so far
She had no presence in my part of Maryland. Her win came as a surprise as she didn't do anything (no ads, flyers or anything) in my market. Hope she wins and runs hard on the abortion issue but I think this will be a close race that the Dems could lose.

Trone is not that liked in the areas where most people in Maryland live: MoCo, HoCo, PG, Baltimore area, etc. He’s more popular in the Eastern Shore and Western Maryland, but even in the ES, he didn’t perform as well as I thought he would.
Octogenarians gone wild.

Clint Eastwood would be a better debater, you feel lucky?
Oofff, however despite the ramblings out of his beedy eyes, he'll get alot of plaudits for term limits for senators which is more than likely a carrot dangle of a donkey pulling a cart full of manure
That last policy is probbably the most sensible I've heard from any major American politician for a while....
Basically, Project 2025. Scary shit.
Our polls suck. He could be leading every poll and still get his tail kicked in the election (see what happened in Maryland yesterday).
And another one via ABC later in the summer or fall.
Lets see how much they drug them to not seem a nursing home rumbling and mumbling
More importantly no audience as well, which should help Biden out.
Aren't they still mainly done through phone calls? So its just a count from people that answer unknown numbers and don't hang up right away when they realise its a cold call?
No.
Which would be the perfect point for all Democrats to come out swinging in support of basic freedoms and support for peaceful protests. And yet the mainstream democratic opinion and voice are leading this shitty rhetoric. Biden, Pelosi, Hillary led the way in ratcheting up pressure to smear and oppress peaceful protests.
Which I guess @MarylandMUFan and @Beachryan would agree if the law dictates it. After all law is law. Just or unjust
Wait, Trump said he'll change something that is entirely out of his power to change, has no chance of happening and will outrage the left?
And I assume you'd be doing so peacefully and within the rules. What if that protest was shut down? Or nothing happened? What if Trump tried to ban all protests?
There are hundreds of protests you've not heard a peep about around the US because it's being done peacefully through discussion with the universities. I agree the actions of Columbia were ill-advised, and I'd imagine that the President will lose their job accordingly. But there are loads of other examples of protest groups meeting with administrations and ironing things out.
I do not think the USA is shutting down protests willy nilly, nor did I suggest that the USA is banning pro-Palestinian protests. I think it would be advisable that when trying to engage in good faith, you do not consistently project onto others opinions or thoughts they do not have.
I apologise for the sarcasm, there are certian posters whose tone grates and I shouldn't respond in kind.
A private institution (presumably with a duty of care) calling in riot police on their own staff and students over a peaceful protest is fecking bonkers though, can we at least all agree on that?
It's not about what's Lawful and Unlawful
I don't think anyone is disagreeing with that. As I said, I expect the President to be fired accordingly.
But...are you not concerned about the government's role in the debacle? A random university rings up and says "I need a bunch of armed thugs to clear out some hippies". "Ok, say no more, here's 300 dressed as RoboCop".
The response of college authorities to similar protests in Dublin certainly put the US response into context.
No because I understand that the 'government' isn't involved in this, as was covered extensively. It was the NYPD and Columbia university. Anyone trying to paint it as some big repression scheme from the White House down is just lying to try and create narrative, and to be honest that annoys me. The same people take the President's comments - which were entirely reasonable - completely of out context, remove bits they don't like, emphasize bits that fit their narrative and then tweet them as evidence.
The NYPD is part of the government...
In as much as the Minnesota Waste Collection department is too. It's a municipality-run entity. You know when 'government' is used here it's insinuating federal, ie, something to do with Joe Biden.
