Blue Wave about to wash away the GOP in Michigan

https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2018/09/11/poll-trump-low-approval-michigan-hurts-republicans/1256677002/

Both Senators will stay Dem. Whitmer leads Trumpster Schuette by 14 points and the State Legislature has a great shot at flipping.

2 ballot initiatives will bring the more liberal voters out even more. MI will vote to legalize recreational marijuana and will vote to have a non partisan panel that redraws the district lines.

The Republican Party has informed the Schuette and James (Rep Senator candidate) that they will be diverting funds to more competitive races.

This November's election has the chance to transform Michigan for a generation. New districts will mean fair representation going forward and that's great news for Democrats.

lead the way and show the rest of the country how it is done. The rest of us aren't too far behind either.

Together, all of us will make a difference!

Proposal 1 will get more press, but proposal 2 will be a transformation for our state.

And Schuette is so vile of a human being that he'll probably take a job in the White House after defeat. Truly a disgusting person.
