Opinion: Larry Hogan shouldn’t wait too long to jump in
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan speaks during the National Governors Association winter meeting in Washington on Feb. 23. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer March 6 at 11:30 AM Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, whom The Post describes as “one of the highest-profile Republicans open to running against President Trump,” was in Iowa this week ostensibly on National Governors Association business.
Variables such as the outcome of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s probe, Democratic talk of impeachment and the president’s fluctuating political standing are all potential factors in his decision, Hogan acknowledged. In the meantime, he’s taking things slowly. When Republicans tell pollsters they approve of Trump’s performance, are they really saying, “I’m not giving Democrats and the media the satisfaction of saying I don’t approve”? It might be more revealing to look at the “strongly approve" number, which separates the defensive Republicans from the ones who actually think he’s swell. In the newest Quinnipiac poll, the “strongly approve” number among Republicans goes down to 67 percent.
Remember that Hogan would not only be bemoaning Trump’s dysfunction, racism and meanness and offering a drama-free and scandal-free alternative to the besieged president; he also would attack from the right. Hogan will argue Trump has run up the debt. Trump is getting taken to the cleaners by foreign powers, Hogan can accurately say. Trump screwed up trade with a tariff war. And Hogan can point out that since the tax cut , Trump hasn’t gotten much of anything done.
