Larry Hogan capitulates on Trump

[RandySF]

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) spoke to Hugh Hewitt:

HEWITT: Will you support whoever the nominee of the Republican Party is in 2024?

HOGAN: I imagine that will be the case. I’m anxious to find out who the nominee’s going to be.

HEWITT: Well, that, I’m assuming that no one knows, but it might be Donald Trump. So you’re saying if it’s Donald Trump, you’ll be willing to support him?

HOGAN: Yeah, as I’ve said, Hugh, I don’t think it is going to be Donald Trump, but you know, we’ll cross that bridge or jump off that bridge when we come to it.

HEWITT: Now wait a minute… If Trump is the nominee, does Larry Hogan support him?

HOGAN: Yeah, I just don’t think he’s going to be the nominee, but I’ll support the nominee.

HEWITT: There you go. That’s what I wanted.

1. Larry Hogan is a different kind of Republican - or maybe not

Scratch the surface and there doesn't seem to be a lot of difference.

2. That didn't take long.

3. As a Marylander, Hogan was always garbage

And he still is. He's no different than any other Republican, and had he not been constrained by our supermajority Dem legislature, he would have been just as evil as every other GOP Governor.

4. I don't think Hogan has ever supported Chump, but he just won't say it out loud

... because he's a chickenshit.

5. sounds like Hogan is wildly enthusiastic about trump

LOL.

My two cents is that he was pressed into it. Given a choice of a rw uproar, he begrudgingly said he's support trump, but it's a long way down the road to see what that might mean.

6. He needs an adviser to tell him how stupid he sounds. This kind of verbal gymnastics is far worse

than saying out loud "I don't think he should be the nominee and I'll work for a Republican nominee and I CAN support."

7. What difference does his opinion make? Support trump or not.

Any Republican candidate will be as bad as the others.

8. Then Hogan is a f**king jackass, and is admitting he has no problem supporting a racist, bigot,

sexist, and insurrection.
