“MAGA freaks”? Not very moderate of you.

Hope Hogan wins the seat.

It’s very moderate to call out the extremists but thank you for your input. Interesting you said nothing about what I called the other side. Shocking.

Because you called the Squad what they call themselves?

You’re kind of an extremist about your candidates.

Thanks Ville.

Always here to help you continue to be the moderate voice of reason here.

For those who think it’s too late for Joe to step down, it wouldn’t be the first at this stage. Lyndon Johnson walked away March 31, 1068 during an election year.

If he does I hope Ford Jr. runs.

I seriously doubt that Merrick Garland would appoint someone who he thought would do a hit job on the President.

Actually, Garland said Hur had the upmost integrity when appointed. Funny how his integrity is now being challenged. Wonder what happened?

He's going to have to win with a higher voter turnout than what you'd see in a typical governor's election in Maryland.

I'll use another analogy - I know that Steve Beshear beat Daniel Cameron somewhat comfortably for governor in Kentucky, but if those two guys ran for a Senate seat, I'd wager on Daniel Cameron winning a head-to-head matchup there.

Understand what you’re saying… Steve was his dad though :) .

I don’t think he ever has intention of doing it, but I wouldn’t mind Andy on the d side as a presidential candidate. He’s probably too moderate and normal though
