I agree with the first part. However at this point Repubs need to be flushed from our government. To few remaining to regenerate the party. Given his stance on tRump IMO that makes him unfit for public office.

Hogan is hardly pro-Trump. I put his ideology and views on Trump akin to those of Romney or Manchin. Indeed, if Hogan were the face and ideological posterchild for the Republican party, I might well be a Republican. Indeed, when the Maryland GOP chose the MAGAMoron Dan Cox to run as Hogan's successor, Hogan referred to him as "mentally unstable" and a "QAnon whack job" and posed for pictures with Wes Moore, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate.

The GOP desperately needs regeneration and it could do a lot worse than doing so around folks like Hogan. That said, I'll still vote for Trone because the GOP doesn't deserve any consideration whatsoever until they dump Trump.
