If Craig sought out to find the worst possible folks to run his campaign, than I think it proves he has some remarkable leadership quality because he succeeded with flying colors.

At the same time that's coming out, Bloomberg with some good news for Whitmer.

Deadline Detroit: Michigan GOP Candidate Perry Johnson Fibbed About Age On Old Dating Profile

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Better still . . . He tweeted out the picture himself, complete with the lie that he was 35 years old.

One of the few rational ones. Now opening the door to be replaced by the crazies.

Isn't Upton's district more competitive now? 

[CMRivdogs]

Upton was probably targeted by the TQOP to be primaried. He'll be 69 this summer, a good time to step away and enjoy life.

I haven’t really paid attention but I hope so.

all the "moderate" gop-ers are going down.  liz cheney (far from moderate but she was vocally pro impeachment) will be next.

Have been seeing ads for Perry Johnson.... he calls himself a "guru".  His plan:

Lower fuel prices

Slow inflation

Keep line 5 open

Drill for american oil

 

When I think of a guru it's usually a pyramid scheme scam artist on an infomercial or a guy at the head of a cult where he does perverted things.

So the Michigan Republican Party nominated Matt DePerno as their Attorney General candidate.

Media Matters: Michigan secretary of state candidate Kristina Karamo: Beyoncé, Cardi B, Korean drama, and yoga are tools of Satan

I get told that I get too worked up over the Christian Right around here. This simpleton could be the next SOS of Michigan and in charge of our state's elections process.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Karamo: “Cardi B is another tool of Lucifer because she peddles filth in the culture.” - Kristina Karamo, Republican nominee for MI SOS

Sadly that shit sells in Western Michigan.

She'll get 47% of the state vote, at minimum.

 

[CMRivdogs]

He’s getting it from both sides

 

[oblong]

I think I've told you all that I know someone that was close to Craig in his job.  My friend retired about 5 years ago and never heard from Craig again.  Routinely they would talk nearly every day.  My friend was on TV and then Craig texted him to ask for his support.  He told me Craig really had no clue about MI politics, who was who, etc.

Cluelessness is a feature for the Republican party.

You can't be held accountable if you don't know whats going on.

If the group is pushing for valid ID's when voting why aren't they requiring them for the petitions they are having signed. That would only make sense, right?

So Buttigieg bought a vacation home in Traverse City. He can establish residency in Michigan and run for say Stabenow's senate seat if she retires. Michigan is more hospitable for Buttigieg than Indiana. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Assuming Republicans haven't fully killed off free and fair elections by 2024, I think Whitmer will be the next Democratic nominee for Senate after Stabenow.
