(AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, File) Gov. Larry Hogan may be the best Republicans can do in a deep blue state like Maryland, but that’s hardly reason enough to take him as a thought leader in the party. Yet, he fancies himself as such, and it perfectly illustrates the delusion under which he operates. Hogan decided to really flex his conservative credentials by going on Chuck Todd’s program this morning. You know, because real Republicans run to far-left hosts to bash their own party or something. What followed was some of the more moronic political commentary given this weekend.
