Don’t get me wrong, I’d love that too, but that’s partially why we’re in the mess we’re in. I really thought people would have learned by now. We need to get Democratic control. She is running around campaigning for “progressive” candidates, who will not have broad appeal. Does anyone really think Michigan is going to elect a Muslim governor? That would be a recipe for another Republican governor. Time to get realistic.
