Larry Hogan: Maryland GOP Gov. Candidate Mentally Unstable, Has Zero Chance of Winning

Republicans are set to lose control of a governor's mansion in the 2022 midterms, the state's GOP incumbent governor predicted during an interview with a local radio station.

Maryland GOP Governor Larry Hogan appeared on WGMD’s "The Talk of Delmarva" with Mike Bradley as he visited the Eastern Shore on his way to the Maryland Association of Counties Summer Conference in Ocean City.

Hogan said Trump-endorsed GOP nominee Dan Cox had “no chance whatsoever” of beating Democrat Wes Moore in November, The Washington Post reported.

“He’s not, in my opinion, mentally stable,” Hogan told Bradley.

“He wanted to hang my friend, Mike Pence, and took three busloads of people to the Capitol," Hogan said.

Hogan has previously referred to Cox as a "QAnon whackjob."

But that isn't going to prevent him from claiming he won for the next 4 years!

Mentally unstable GOP candidates, that is. It seems to be the norm, actually. The only thing unusual here is that it's a Republican pointing this one out.

If you're a sitting governor and there's a chance that a deranged lunatic could be your successor, you have an obligation to do EVERYTHING in your power to stop that from happening. The first step is to endorse and actively support Wes Moore, but we all know that Hogan is completely unwilling to put country (or state) ahead of party. I'm glad he's speaking out against Cox, but that's the bare minimum.

That might be the minimum for common decency.

Yet if is far, far more than most of them will do.

Yeah, that's what everyone was saying about this time six years ago, and we all know how THAT turned out.

especially in blue states like MD. Hogan was a conservative Republican before Trump and Qanon brought out the crazy in the GOP.
