So what if Hogan wins a Second term?

All the people who think they can flee the state and forget about Maryland better think again. If Maryland goes full blown socialist then sooner rather than later the Tax and Spend politicians will drive away the taxpaying base while attracting the give me something for nothing dependent types which will bankrupt the state. What do you think will happen when multiple states, including Maryland, start declaring bankruptcy? The federal government will bail them out and where will the feds get the money? From the states that you move to and from increasing the debt on all the citizens.

That's not part of the constitution.

The 2A.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

That IS part of the constitution, but it certainly doesn't mean that we are allowed to overthrow the government which was established by the constitution.

Are you sure about that? It's the main reason the right was codified in 2A!

Unless, of course, you're speaking of a government that actually is restricted by the Constitution and hasn't spent decades, if not centuries, ignoring it when convenient.

That’s exactly what the 2a is for and why the dems want it removed

A vote for Hogan is a vote for Trump.

Say No To Trump.

That may well be the avenue of attack.

It is certainly one of the reasons that the right is there, yes. However, there is nothing in the constitution that says that the people are allowed to overthrow the government that it established. That was my point.

I'd agree, if Hogan had done anything to tie himself to Trump... but he has assiduously avoided that.

They'll try, but they'll be wrong.

The fact that Jealous proposes to piss away more money on education would be a non-starter for me. May as well throw your money in the compost pile and use it for fertilizer - it would be more productive.

That said, as everyone understands, Hogan will do nothing on the 2A.

Doing nothing is far better than the Dem alternative; BJ will do plenty, in collaboration with his veto-proof GA.

Interesting information today...

In talking with folks and doing campaign stuff, it was very clear that there are a lot of folks out there who like what Hogan is doing... and they're from traditional Democrat demographics/neighborhoods.

Jim12 · Jul 14, 2018

If Hogan wins and also somehow helps bring Craig Wolf for AG across the finish line on his coattails, that would be a big plus for the 2A. And for mom, apple pie, and Chevrolet.

And why not? He's pretty much given the Democrats everything they want.

HA HA this, so true. The majority of his FB posts are about how much the democrats love him.

Blacksmith101 · Jul 15, 2018

But if Jellowuss wins things will be so much better and some people will claim they didn't vote for him because they voted for the guy who almost got 3%.

If hogan doesn’t win it’s hogans fault for not being a better governor

People bitching on here about who is Better or not all want a freer and more 2 a friendly Maryland

Hogan’s surer than hell not giving it to us but maybe, just maybe, he’s the path to a better governor, one with a spine and a pair of balls, maybe

Of course there are!

You can't carry a 70+% approval rating in Maryland unless the average democrat likes you.

Hogan is one of the four most popular governors in the nation. https://morningconsult.com/2018/04/12/americas-most-and-least-popular-governors/

For that to happen in a solidly blue state is amazing. Nearly as amazing as the most popular, solidly-blue Massachusetts' Republican Baker.

So what if Hogan wins a Second term?
