Gov. Larry Hogan (R-MD) joins CNN's Dana Bash to discuss how he believes former President Donald Trump cost the GOP an overwhelming win in the midterm elections after CNN projects Democrats will keep their narrow Senate majority for the next two years. #CNN #News
If there were more repub leaders like Hogan I would have more respect for the party
Hello how are you doing today my friend
@Craig Saimes hi. I will say having conducted some interviews there is some lack of motivation at times . I believe in higher wages . I want a 15 ph national min wage , no one should work 40 hrs a week n not be able tom eat . that is unamericam . immigrants are filling jobs Americans don’t want . that isn’t really a new thing
@Craig Saimes I also want the border to be secure . . we can do that and treat people at border with dignity .
@Craig Saimes we for sure have problems in America . can we agree that we also have a lot of great stuff here as well. there is a lot of good things happening , we sometimes don’t give that aspect its due
The American people have had enough of Trump and insanity. This vote was a message. Take heed.
@Citrus Retna Would you rather have a few bucks in your pocket, or your honor and dignity?
@Citrus Retna democrats are the only thing standing between America as it is now or an American horror story Handmaids tale.
@Jonesy Bones The problem is that they don’t know anything about what’s happening outside American borders. We have high inflation, record high gas prices and high energy costs here in Canada too. Same thing in Europe and the world.
@EJ your average american thinks the US is so special it can exclude itself from the world economy if they only had the right guy in charge. So basically brexit without any clear objective to what they should leave from
The majority of this country needs attention and has been needing for decades.
If the GQP wants to get their people elected they shouldn’t try to prop up nut jobs and head trauma candidates.
@Bob Smith
Hershel thinks he’s a police officer, doctor, fire engine and meteorite.
@Bob Smith You can recover from a stroke, but you can’t fix stupid (Trump, Herschel, Boebert, looking your way) 👀
@Bob I’ll take that over a snake oil salesman/liar any day—which the Voters of Pennsylvania did. 👋
@Jorge of Albion biden is a trucker lol
@Cody Willis I messed up and underestimated the stupidity of people. Oz sucked, but fetterman is mentally challenged.
The GOP is responsible for their own “cost”.
Eh. Trump did them no favors. It’s really 50-50. America is done with crybabys
Has it ever occurred to anybody that voters concern about the county going in the wrong direction meant the direction in which the MAGA wanted to take it. Hence the election outcome and rejection by voters.
Probably. I’ve often thought that the question about “how satisfied are you with the elected leadership” and they always peg that only on the people in office. I may not be that satisfied, but I’m much *more* satisfied than if 45 were still tossing things in his dumpster fire ;). It’s ok to gauge such vague questions, including things like “are you concerned about the economy”, but don’t assume that the response is directed at anything you didn’t explicitly refer to in the question.
I am most tired of talking heads asking politicians about “inside baseball” stuff. Ask them about policies and how things are going. If you have a question about whether people like DeSantis or whatever, ask the people. You don’t spend half of the interview with a quarterback discussing how the fans in another city feel about their quarterback :/.
What country are you from?
Oh yeah, that terrible premise of making this country a great place like it used to be is so wrong and racist and bad and racist, did I say that twice, I sound like CNN, let’s continue down the path of unchecked crime, murder in our cities, homeless camps, illegals and drugs flowing over the border, perverts teaching our kids and the dumbing down of this country. That’s so much better!!!
We are tired of the Jerry Springer show that is MAGA. 🤡
@Anon Ni Moose where they can all hold their Bibles upside down.
Maybe 70% of the population believes we’re heading in the wrong direction because 30% of the population has lost her freaking mind!
@Citrus Retna we are not headed over a cliff. Unfortunately, my party (Republican) has only one message “FEAR!”. No new ideas, no optimism, no belief in the resilience , fortitude, and ability of America to fulfill its destiny. If fact, no idea what America even stands for. TRUMP just stands up at his rallies and rants about how bad things are. Question for the Party: “WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?!!”
@Citrus Retna because the alternative is worse.
He tried to fix it, even while under attack for 4 years, energy independence, border wall, chinese sanctionsetc.. etc… where were you?
@Donald Maga right here, cringing…
We voted AGAINST obstructionism and nay-saying trumpism. We voted bIue down the ticket because we want our representatives to behave matureIy and to work for aII Americans .. not just themseIves or their party aIone!
Exactly!
I when the Governor says the Republicans did not sway swing votes, but there were card carrying Republicans who split their votes between GOP and Dem candidates. The Governor is 100% right when he says the GOP needs a broader approach. No party can rely on the fringe.
The awesome thing about this is “Trump just doesn’t know when to stop.”
This is going to play out masterfully for a Blue wave in 24.
Please I beg you 🙏 …. keep going Trump.
It’s amazing how the GOP thought someone who loses time after time in his private life would lead them on a constant spree of winning because he managed to win one election.
Trump is doing way better than you and your entire generation May ever do! If you don’t this put it in your pipe & Smoke……
@Scahoni
Donald Trump has not created a single business that did not eventually file for bankruptcy. Donald Trump is no Jeff Bezos when it comes to being an extremely successful entrepreneur!
I don’t think they did. He just railroaded them into submission due to his MAGA base and the power to primary anyone who did not play ball. They caved rather than do the right thing.
Lol
@Jonathan Sterling someone’s triggered!❄
It’s amazing how Trump can say pretty much what he wants and suffers no repercussions at all
Amazing, ain’t it? President Trump should be in the genius book of world records! Never been convicted of a crime despite being investigated a thousand times!
@William Shook facts he’s like John Gotti back in the mid 80’s
I respect this man. He exudes the honesty and integrity that made Republicans the GOP in the first place long before Trump hijacked the party and destroyed it. So many Republicans sadly embraced Trump in spite of his despicable character, lies, and narcissism. I would be comfortable seeing a Republican such as Hogan running for POTUS. It would be quite refreshing.
@Billy Tuchscher ehhh, the tea party wrote the playbook on co-opting the GOP that trump used. Only reason it didn’t work the first time was because Palin was such a poor candidate, John Mcain got stuck with her because of tea party funding pockets were so deep via americans for prosperity, the tobacco lobby and evangelical bloc (same ones who backed trump)
@Dieter MacPherson I agree Trump was a symptom of a long burning discontent, but I think he raised it to a new level. Possibly the most damaging thing he has done is to make denial and lying seem socially acceptable. When I came of age we used to argue about ideas and policies. Today we argue about facts. This is a horrible development.
“You can lead a horse to water but you can not make it drink. ” trump only publicize their pre- existing corruption.
@slickrockcreek1 fair points. I agree
@Billy Tuchscher you think Joe Biden is the great leader we need?
It’s not just trump. It’s all of the guys and gals who also follow him. The local, state, and federal officials, congressmen and women who stand with him. They all must go.
deport all of them
The GOP underestimates the power of ” weaker” populations; “Women, suburban voters and Latinos help drive election results in 2022 midterms” – USA Today
The younger generation helped too!
@Peggy Gay Yes! The younger generation is starting to step up and be counted. This is their country too, and they don’t seem to want to live in a fascist dictatorship of Thief and Geezer Republicans.
The GOP always forgets the part about how they don’t really encourage people to vote. They don’t offer anything to get people excited, other than “tHe LEfT iS DoINg bAd tHINgs,” or some variation thereof.
Cool obsession you got going 😅
The more who vote, the worse the GOP will do. They know that – hence the attempts to restrict voting and voting access.
The younger group of voters came out in great numbers and voted for the Dems.Why?? THEY FAVOUR ABORTION,sTUDENT DEBT RELIEF and good employment prospects;10,million new jobs created in the last 2 years.!!!!!@Will Shealy
The GOP don’t really encourage people to vote [ I couldn’t find 1 reference to support your bs. Please give 1 example of a gop politician, that discourage rep voters from voting] …. They don’t offer anything to get people excited,[ do you mean, like the lies you spew at your rallies?]……. other than “tHe LEfT iS DoINg bAd tHINgs,” or some variation thereof. [Isn’t that the same thing you do, all the time. You can’t open your mouth without trashing some dem]
PS I love your disclaimer on truth social, that says you can say anything you want, except you can’t say anything negative about you. Spoken like the true dictator you wannabe.
As I Marylander, I am pleased that we elected a Democratic governor yet Mr. Hogan served our state responsibly and well. He is an example of what the Republican Party used to be. I didn’t agree with Mr. Hogan on many things but I respect him and I hope his voice will be heard by his fellow Republicans.
@Keith Wright HE SUCKS!!! From Montgomery County MD.
But he’s still a Republican and that means he’ll vote party line 99 percent of the time. No thanks. Got to go.
There are no “good” Republicans… only no-good ones!
@Lynn Glidewell he denied unemployment benefits at a time people was in need while he buys a lavish watefont property also he went after female Attorney General with an unusual vengeance…as a marylander I felt his time was at an end. He did great protecting state from covid. Time for a younger generation of politicians
I really miss the old GOP! At least they actually understood politics and had actual values. You could respect them.
This man is absolutely correct. I will never vote for Republicans after Trump and seeing all those Republican Congress members stand up for him and try to overturn the election.
For most it was the fact they were too gutless to stand up after J6? They actually got up and spoke against Trump and MAGA the day after but within 48 hours were back kissing his ring? They hitched their wagon to Trump and it was the biggest mistake they made. Whether they like it or NOT…..Most people were actually horrified by what happened J6? Their continued support of Trump and their inability to show disgust in what happened showed just how spineless they are. They ALL jumped n the ‘Stolen Election’ bandwagon even though Bannon came out and said it was all a ruse?
When Gov. Hogan says us, he speaks of a party that sadly no longer exists.
Exactly!
1988 was the last GOP win by voter majority
I miss Republicans like John Mccain, who could put their differences aside for the good of the country!
@Big D’s Gaming that’s not true 2004
I remember watching “normal” republicans like this guy a long time ago . They went insane ever since Trump took control of the White House.
It started 30 years ago with Newt and his ilk. He helped start this us-vs-them and “no compromise” crap.
@George Klimes I disagree. It was Bush the elder that really pushed the “with us or with the enemy” narrative.
@pigs18 His remark was in the context of terrorism. Newt Gingrich, Tom DeLay and the other “contract with America” folks are the ones who started bullying their collegues rather than allowing them to, as what had always been done, interact with Democrat counterparts – even to the point of pressuring them not to even have dinner or drinks. Gingrich just took John Birch Society tactics to a new extreme. He also started with the “shut down the government” tactics to try to force Clinton to do his bidding. Then add the fact that, nowadays, about half of Republican Representatives in the House are from the South. Add in Rush Limbaugh, and, later, social media, and here we are.
As someone who is 67, I knew the GOP was going down a dark path with Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” and his selection of Agnew as his running mate. I thought maybe the Republicans had learned a lesson, but then came along Newt Gingrich and Reagan’s embrace of the religious right/evangelicals and others more on the then fringes.
@George Klimes Agreed with the rest of the comment, but while Bush used it initially in context of terrorism, he kept using it. Didn’t like his tax proposal? You’re “emboldening” the enemy, whatever the heck that was supposed to mean.
