MI Senate: John James 2020?

[Woody]

Now that James has gotten name recognition and quite a following from this year's senate race, isn't it reasonable that he runs against Peters? I believe that James could possibly make that race even more competitive.

[History505]

He very well could, you never know. Depends on the political environment at the time.

[Oryxslayer]

If he runs again, I doubt both parties will ignore the race (in favor of other, more competitive ones) like they did this time around. So his path probably gets shakier, and is no doubt tied to whether or not Trump wins the state.

[UWS]

With Gary Peters having just 34 % approval ratings and James making Stabenow underperforming, he can become a pull up a John Thune (in 2004, 2 years after losing the senate race in South Dakota in 2002).

[Old Man Willow]

What is this 34% that the MI GOP hack keeps referencing? Is it just people having few opinions about Peters in general (he is low profile) or does he actually have high disapprovals?

[IceSpear]

It wouldn't surprise me if he ran again. Dems would need to take him seriously this time unless Trump is getting BTFO.

lolwut? his Path to victory only exists if Trump wins Michigan (would lose narrowly in a neutral environment) or MAYBE if the dem wins it by 10000 votes. Michigan isn't gone yet.

seriously doesn't mean that Peters is doomed. It means that people shouldn't make a mockery of James by saying double digit loss by 15 points. SN was closer than most of the dem hacks on this forum.

Yes, that's exactly what I said. If the presidential race is competitive, Michigan will probably be competitive too. And if Trump wins Michigan again, then James could win as well.

Gary Peters is definitely in the long list of the Democrats who need to be primaried.

Ding Ding Ding!

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

Does this mean two more years of a new weekly thread about John James?

Well, it's better than the weekly Kid Rock threads.

Ah so Randy Hultgren 2.0?

Prediction-
James will not be the nominee. It will be Tim Walberg(MI-7)

[Mr. Smith]

Abrams taking on David Perdue seems more likely.

Hopefully. I think he'd be a pretty poor choice.

this. He underperformed Trump by a ton.

He also lost his very Republican district in 2008, and had a relatively weak win in his 2010 rematch.

See this and you're going to take it more seriously.

Doesn't matter. If Trump wins MI, Walberg wins too. He's appealing to the racist wwc but he's  still a "true conservative" and would be able to do better then Trump in Ottawa and Allegan etc.
