I'm talking about my Governor, Larry Hogan of Maryland. He is considered a moderate and has been one of Trump's fiercest critics. If you watch the news networks, you may have seen him on there, especially during the peak of the Covid crisis.

Like I said, he is a moderate and, as such, probably has no chance at nomination, but that doesn't stop him from being touted as a potential candidate in 2024. And he certainly is a voice for reason in what is presently a very unreasonable party.

If the dems don't come to win and it's based solely on voting on a Republican to keep Trump from winning again, I'll vote Republican. and I have way more disagreements with that side than I do with the left though I fall in the middle on some issues. Based solely on the fact that I don't want another Trump white house.

Basically the dems better come ready to win.

Hell even Romney would be a solid choice though I don't know if that would or could happen.

Romney wouldn't have a chance with this radical bunch.

I could see myself voting for a Republican too in the right scenario. If Hilary Clinton had gotten the nomination in 2008 over Obama, I was ready to vote for McCain for example. My disdain for Hilary Clinton started when she played the outrage card and forced MSNBC to suspend a commentator that year. So, yeah, the Dems can't keep taking the left and minorities for granted, even in these shaky times.

Pretty much what I was getting at. Itd have to be a specific scenario for such a thing to happen. Otherwise I go with whoever I think could do the job.

You said you would vote Republican to prevent Trump from winning. Unless you are talking about Trump running as a Dem, that statement only makes sense in the context of the GOP primary. But there would still be no reason to vote red in the general election. Unless you just want to.

If you read what I said I also stated that it's in the event that the dems dont being someone up front worth voting for. I vote dem 99% of the time. I was speaking in hypotheticals.

Though I doubt trump gets past the primaries so none of this really has any merit.

interesting strategy, let's see how this works out for them
For the Republicans? Probably well since the majority of the public seems to oppose it.

I wouldn't mind my student loans being forgiven, all else said. Dems probably knew it had no chance of actually happening, but it probably boosted turnout for the midterms.
