Hogan is one of the best politicians I have ever seen to do well in Maryland. I am shocked the dems have not resorted to saying because he had cancer he is weak or something...because that is really how bad their game is. Right now he is in the same place Chris Christie was 4 years ago...hugely popular and about to win a 2nd term in a democratic state.
The said his biggest worries the next two years will be...
- Survive the biggest attack he has ever seen from the Dems. They underestimated him last time around...not so much now. Better hope no skeletons in the closet
- Not get cocky. Do what he has been...play to basic citizen needs, not controversial issues.
- Not get caught up in a bidgegate mess.
- Deciding if running against Trump (if he is up for reelection is worth it). It will be hard because IF Trump runs again, his presence on the ballot will motivate the democratic base in a way I think even Obama could not.
As it stands today, the only ammo the Dems have against Hogan is Trump.
