1. Hold fast, Governor......

This will piss off Trump even more because the appearance of doing something is what matters to Trump.

2. I've got many friends in Michigan. They are proud of their governor.

And rightly so.

3. She's been great here

Between 64% and 72% approval is amazing considering Trump and his minions targeted her personally. She's been near perfect.

8. The TRUE heroes are the Democratic Governors who stepped up

Governors Cuomo, Wolf, Pritzker, Whitmer, Newsom, and I'm sure there are others.
Please add to this list, it's only a start.
