MI Governor 2018

[Mr. Smith]

California's are still worse, and there isn't even the excuse of winter for that one [I mean, besides up in the Sierras and Cascades].

[Mr. Smith]

Thanedar’s latest ad is one of the worst I’ve ever seen:

Weird angle to go at. Machine politics arent really prevalent in MI, but I guess this is him trying to go for that "Im Bernie Sanders, Whitmer is Hillary Clinton, forget about that other guy" angle. This could work, with a different person, in a different state. Hell, OC could have used this ad, and it would have worked.

Yeah, rich entrepreneur who didn't know if he should run as a Democrat or republican, who attended a Rubio rally and who likely donated enough to get a photo with Rubio is definitely a Sanders stand-in. Don't pay any attention to the guy whose campaign is being run by Sanders's campaign alum.

AOC endorses AES, who also becomes the first gubernatorial candidate on the Justice Semocrats slate:

AOC is the f*¢king best. But El-Sayed was endorsed by the justice dems months ago, iirc.

The current President with ugly hair switched parties and ideology left and right and praised Hillary quite nicely, now look at where things are.

[Mr. Smith]

I don't think Abdul El-Sayed will win the primary, but his social media support is Bernie-esque. Relentless attacks on Whitmer for being a corporate shill, liar, neoliberal centrist, controlled by PACs and corporations, unlikable. If Thanedar weren't in the race I would say that this is the closest analogy to Bernie v. Hillary we have this cycle. And we all know what happened in the Michigan primary that year...

What about Maryland then? Hillary won that one huge...but in the end, despite the polls, Ben Jealous was the one that curbstomped, not Baker.

Clearly then, El-Sayed might well actually make it through on similar momentum.

[Mr. Smith]

Do people on here actually think El-Sayed Jealous is electable?

Said people like you in Maryland, and that's why Rushern-Baker is put to task to defeat Larry Hogan!
