Michael Steele is probably running for Maryland governor.

[MoonRiver]

Is he still a Repuke?

[Clash City Rocker]

1. We know he hates Trump

He makes no secret of that.

[MoonRiver]

5. How trumpy is MD?

[elleng]

7. NOT.

[11 Bravo]

10. The Eastern Shore is pretty damned Trumpy.

RWNJ Andy Harris has represented its resident since 2011.
Fortunately, they comprise a small minority of the state's population.

[elleng]

12. right, but

harris the only repug in MD congressional delegation.

[Deep State Witch]

18. Heather Mizeur

Is working hard to change that!

[elleng]

20. Good Luck to her!

[madinmaryland]

15. But he luvs his government health insurance. What a douchebag.

[elleng]

2. Nominally repuke, imo;

might be interesting.

[MoonRiver]

6. Definitely will be.

[elleng]

8. especially considering ### of Dems 'running.'

Steele vs. Perez? Either one have administrative experience?

[lagomorph777]

23. They both have experience running national political parties. Also, Steele was MD Lt Gov.

[11 Bravo]

3. He has said he won't leave the Republican party, claiming, "It's my house too".

[MoonRiver]

4. Well they may leave him. He should switch to Independent, if not Dem.

[brooklynite]

13. The Maryland Republican Party isn't pro-Trump...

...if he wants a chance at winning, he needs the support of the Party infrastructure.

[bigtree]

9. republicans don't actually like him

...and he looks an equivocating fool to almost everyone else here.

So glad it'll keep him away from tv punditry for a while.

[Champp]

11. They USED him while they could

then tossed him under their hate-fueled, fart-spewing Republican DumbTruk.

Sucker. Loser. That's how the ReQuebs look at him.

[ShazamIam]

14. My fear would be that the Kochnetwork wants to buy him, Maybe we should call it the KochThielMercer

network along with Putin as a big backer. No disrespect for Steele who at times seems reasonable but if he starts spewing no taxes on the rich, and claiming wage increase is bad for the economy and health care must be for profit only and promotes vouchers for school, run,run away.

[pwb]

16. He is a professional politician and they like

going around eating good and living it up on the campaign, even while knowing he will lose. Fun, Fun.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

17. Dont want another repuke

Governer.

What dems are running. Any progressives?

If not, I'll hold my nose and vote for a conservadem if I have to, to make Maryland more blue.

[Deep State Witch]

19. Rushern Baker

Former PG County Executive Rushern Baker is one. He's a decent guy - considering that they guy before him went to prison for bribery.

Now that Hogan is concentrating on running for President, he's getting a LOT more conservative. I don't like that one bit.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

21. Never trust a republican

[calimary]

22. Yep. Very good words to the wise.

That should be the PERMANENT default position for all of us Dems.

The republi-CONS CANNOT EVER be trusted. Because at their most basic, they have MUCH different priorities than we do. And they tend to side with different entities (the wealthy, privileged, and already-powerful) than we do. Their “North Star” is different from the one that guides us Dems, and their version always leans toward a different priority than ours.

[Deep State Witch]

24. He's a Dem

Baker is a Democrat.
