 GOP governor says conservatives are slowly ‘pushing back’ against Trump: ‘It’s just taking longer than it should’
by Brad Dress - 07/10/22 11:19 AM ET

Gov. Larry Hogan (R-Md.) on Sunday said conservatives are slowly “pushing back” against former President Trump.

Hogan told NBC’s “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd that Trump’s power and “influence is diminishing” and the Republican Party would slowly distance itself from the former president. The Maryland governor, who has long been critical of Trump, also said he no longer feels he is a lone dissenter.

“I’ve been talking about this for years now, and I felt like I was on a lifeboat all by myself. But now we need a bigger boat because more and more people are speaking out every day,” Hogan said. “I said Trump’s influence on the party was going to diminish over time. It hasn’t happened rapidly, but it has diminished dramatically.”

Trump is facing backlash from some in the GOP for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The House panel investigating the rioting has held a series of hearings over the summer highlighting the events leading up to Jan. 6, featuring a former White House aide who said Trump encouraged armed rioters to march toward the Capitol.

What would a Governor from Md know about what conservatives think?

All he knows is Rude Orange Man would be bound to upset some of HIS "apple carts" if he becomes President again.

That's it in a nutshell.  And he's not the only RINO Gov to whom that applies.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Nope! Not by a long shot! Running as a Republican and getting elected DEFINITELY does not a conservative make.

No real republican would ever get near Cuck Todd much less be on his shit show of liberalism.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

@Wingnut

*I* am a "real Republican",and I would LOVE to get close enough to that little sissy-boy weasel to get my hands on him and give him/her a chance to whimper for real.

I am now old enough to hope that never happens,though. I am under NO illlusions about how I would be treated by the court system.
