Dear God, Someone In Michigan Please Stop This From Happening!

LANSING — Michigan Republicans, in control of all major statewide offices and fresh off an election in which a GOP presidential candidate won Michigan's electoral votes for the first time since 1988, are setting their sights on the only prize that has eluded them in recent years — a U.S. Senate seat.

There are no announced candidates to challenge U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow in 2018, but names dropped at Saturday's Michigan Republican Party state convention at the Lansing Center ran the gamut from a congressman to a former state senator to Michigan-born recording artist Kid Rock.

Wes Nakagiri, a Livingston County Tea Party activist who was elected to the party's central committee Friday night, said Kid Rock, who endorsed President Donald Trump, "has name I.D., is an out-of-the-box idea, and would kind of get rid of that stodgy Republican image."

And the commenters are actively blaming the Flint Water Crisis on Stabenow, when it's 100% Rick Snyder's fault! The stupid, just...

1. I am not surprised they blame her, same people will blame her when Ryan takes their

Medicare and Social Security, and he will, and they will blame liberals

Doesnt matter how many people show up at town halls, the politicians themselves dont believe their base is at those protests.

Be prepared to lose everything.

2. We get blamed for everything.

And I have been saying for a long time that Obama and/or Hillary Clinton could save a baby from a burning building, and the republicans would somehow find a way to blame them for starting the fire.

4. Remember when they went ape-shit because Michelle said water was good to drink?

5. Don't remember, was that before or after Flint?

7. Holy crap, no wonder they worked to destroy water!

If democrats endorsed breathing air, republicans would find a way to increase pollution!

10. yeah, well, they're certainly working on increasing pollution, regardless n/t

11. And then the psychos would turn around and blame the air problems on the democrats!

3. That is probably a safe seat.

I live in Detroit and have not heard of any serious candidates willing to run against Debbie.

It is way too early to worry about it now. Plenty of other more pressing matters.

8. The little shit says celebs should stay out politics, yet

only right wingers can be involved. Such hypocrites.
