Tea party voters...

So Spranger has written a letter to Donald Trump asking for help. Good luck with that one.

I swear, Michigan is doing everything they can to emulate a Southern state. They used to be a beacon of something to look up to with excellent schools, good paying union jobs, etc. But they keep voting for Republicans and this Spranger person was ushered in by those who voted for Trump.

Michigan Republican governers were never as bad as they are now. That was many years ago.

I was very impressed by Milliken, especially his dedication to Michigan's environment. What the heck has happened to Michigan? It's disheartening to say the least.
