1. Wouldn't surprise me if Hogan switches parties.

7. I doubt it, he's a centrist at heart

He would be like Manchin, disliked and the odd man out

He's on an island in between an increasingly progressive left and a hardcore regressive right.

I'd actually to see a Hogan-ish real viable third party form in the middle. It would allow compromise to be possible again and shave down the Republicans ability to be a boat anchor. As history has shown generations are more liberal than the last, in a generation the new centerist party would be the actual viable right wing party, and the Republicans would wilt away into a shrill but powerless ghost.

8. He is like Weld.

He's a Republican in a blue state. It says a lot for him that he's on his second term. I feel safe having him as our governor.

2. That's how you address the protestors. Thanks Gov Hogan

3. Edit: Gov. Hogan could have said, 'Sadly, we had some protestors yesterday. Far worse, we

had far more people die yesterday in Maryland.'

4. I have a lot of respect for this governor.

The first thing I noticed about him is the way he takes time before he answers. IOW, he thinks before he speaks. This has become unusual in a republican.

I would like to see the republican party die. It has become toxic. Maybe there is hope for their party if there are a few like him.

'I don't know where he (Harris) woke up . . . Has the right to say whatever crazy things he wants to!'

9. He looking to the future....

10. I would have added:

And we'll continue to have more deaths until we run out of protestors.

(No mask. No distance. No problem. Goodbye, doorknob lickers.)
