Where did you Trump fetishists get the idea that Michigan would be in play with Trump?
Michiganders soured on the GOP when the party made support for international free trade an article of faith. Trump, by rejecting orthodoxy on the trade issue, is the only candidate who can credibly make a play for the middle class in states like Michigan. This is not to suggest that he would win necessarily, just that the days of 54-44 Democratic blowouts would be finished.
How will that be relevant when either one of his possible Democratic opponents will be anti-trade protectionists?
