. @mckaycoppins is right that Larry Hogan is the latest RINO media darling. But it isn't because of Trumpism that he has no future in the GOP. It's because he's out of step with the base on issues like abortion and guns that have nothing to do with Trump. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/07/larry-hogan-betting-his-future-post-trump-gop/614494/
"And as a popular blue-state governor with a pragmatic streak, Hogan is catnip for a certain kind of centrist pundit who has long fantasized about the heroic moderate riding in on a white horse to deliver the GOP from barbarism."
Great turn of phrase. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/07/larry-hogan-betting-his-future-post-trump-gop/614494/

"But figures like Hogan have a history of attracting more column inches than votes in Republican presidential primaries. (See: John Kasich, Jon Huntsman, assorted other Jo(h)ns.)"
LOL. This. Exactly this. The Hogan nonsense is pure media fantasy. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/07/larry-hogan-betting-his-future-post-trump-gop/614494/

"Hogan's diverse, bipartisan support in Maryland . . . will never be replicated at the national level as long as his party is tainted by Trumpism."
It'll never be replicated because he supports gun control and Roe v. Wade, and opposed Brett Kavanaugh. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/07/larry-hogan-betting-his-future-post-trump-gop/614494/

Larry Hogan had no future in the GOP before Trump came along, and he has no future in the universes where Trump never happened. Trumpism just makes him have no future in more ways. @JayCaruso explained it well in this thread debunking Maximum Bootlicker. https://twitter.com/JayCaruso/status/1282833452266659841
I firebombed the "Hogan Foolusion" last year when Bill Kristol and the Niskanen dummies were trying to make their psychoses turn into reality. https://arcdigital.media/the-hogan-foolusion-9ee8679c1503?source=friends_link&sk=b7fcaa7c9c16a9ba30c311afbb4e7c56
