1. from this logic trumps is more liberal than bernie. nt

[Kaleva]

3. How could you come up with that idea?

Think about it for a minute.

[comradebillyboy]

2. So El-Sayed thinks Trump is more progressive than Hillary?

Now I see why Bernie and AOC support him.

By the way, I recommend looking at the whole thread.

[Kaleva]

6. Michigan is pretty much a red state

What tips the state in our favor is a large black turnout in the Detroit and Flint areas. Black turnout for Hillary was less then it was for Obama in 2008 and 2012.

11. Metro Detroit, Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Flint and Saginaw are overwhelmingly Dem.

Pretty much the classic rural/urban divide.

We aren’t a typical “red” state. Last time the state went decidedly for a Repuke was 1988 - GHWB.

Dump re-electability is now polling 28 pct here. MI is going blue BIG TIME election night this year.

[Kaleva]

17. I beg to differ with part of what you said

Trump won 19 of the 27 counties in Michigan that are considered "Mostly Urban".

I do agree with your last sentence. The Big Blue Wave is going to crush Republicans in Michigan this year.

[roamer65]

21. A 10,000 vote margin isn't a landslide.

Michigan is not an Idaho. A state like Idaho is a definite “red” state.

[Kaleva]

24. I didn't say Michigan is a definite red state.

Repubs hold 9 of the 14 House of Representatives districts, Repubs hold 27 of the 38 seats in the state Senate and they have 63 of the 110 seats in the state House. We have a Repub governor and lt. governor. As I said in my earlier post, Michigan is pretty much red.

29. I still maintain our votes were thrown away

Our usual poll workers were replaced by very young men in uniforms and all ballots were thrown in packing boxes according to the color of the voter.

[Kaleva]

34. Which is odd because Dems control those precincts.

[tonyt53]

28. My brother is a big time MI trumpee. He said it is looking bad for Republicans this fall in MI.

He said it makes him sick.

39. Geez!

Can't make this shit up

[workinclasszero]

41. "Down by 30 points in the polls and still running against Hillary."

Why is it that the BoBers AND the hate right cannot EVER let go of their extreme hate for HRC?

It's insane if you ask me.

[BannonsLiver]

5. ...

[Cha]

7. Omg..ya..and look how great THAT Trump thing turned out for Michigan!!

Gretchen Whitmer Thanks You for Defining Who You Are.....so she doesn't have to.

And making her campaign for Gov just a little bit easier today.

“Michigan needs a governor who can get things done that will actually make a difference in people’s lives right now.”
– Gretchen Whitmer

36. Looks like El Sayed would be terrible for Michigan

Whereas Gretchen Whitmer..

38. So much for the race card! He should be more worried about Sri than Gretchen.

He's got a competitor & its not Gretchen Whitmer!

Can't believe he played the race card with her.
And right after he played the Trump card, in a Dem primary!

[Cha]

43. Yeah, El Sayed so desperate!

And, this is how he acts.. not a good showing running for Gov of Michigan.

[LuvLoogie]

8. Bzzzzzt!

Wrong answer! Here's a nice parting gift.

(Tired of "Progressives" already)

Any Democrats in the house?

[John Gruff]

9. Trump is not a progressive by any measure

By any measure.

[JI7]

12. fuck him and every other trump supporter

[honest.abe]

14. So we should be more like Trump to win??

Good grief.

[roamer65]

15. With this statement, Abdul just lost my vote.

I’ll be voting Whitmer on August 7th.

She’s out best bet against that shitbox Schuette.

[NCTraveler]

19. He is speaking directly to his base.

Our Revolution.

[Cha]

20. Yeah, too bad for him.. he

needs more than his base.. and it looks like this tweet that's not very bright would drive others away.

[ucrdem]

22. On the bright side, we used to get spanked every day for calling these guys wingers

and now they're saving us the trouble!

p.s.

[Cha]

26. I know.. by their own words! What!

"Trump won the general " probably should have left that bit of stating the obvious off.

Is he after trump voters?

[Blue_true]

27. That is called shooting yourself in the foot folks, in case anyone was wondering. nt

[Garrett78]

30. Trump speaks to white fragility and nothing more.

If that's what you want to get in bed with, I don't have much use for you.

[Buckeyeblue]

37. My part of MI (southwest)

Is mostly poor white Republican voters. The vote for the same tired lies and continue to stay poor.

[DFW]

40. I get what he's saying, but if that's his choice of words

His judgment is a bit suspect. Who was he trying to appeal to with that comparison?
