MI Governor 2018

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.

Wow, that guy's ugliness actually scared me after the balloon pop. Also, what the hell with that hair!?

Wow, ummm, just wow. This is really poor, and that corny joke at the end. This is almost as much cringe as the "Nancy had a little lamb" add.

Are Michigan roads seriously that bad? I read that Gretchen Whitmer has basically made "Fix the damn roads" her slogan too.

Wisconsin is on the same track. Republicans in both states have left infrastructure to ruin. Several bridges collapsed and left communities uncommunicated in recent floods because they were in disrepair.

[Illiniwek]

Must be on the eastern side of the state, or maybe around Lansing. West side seems fine and/or is currently being fixed.

The roads around Detroit are in pretty bad shape. Although they've been that way for years.

[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].

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

I know, its such a weird position to go for and a weird thing to do. He just acts like Abdul El-Sayed is not even in this race. Why is he even bothering with this race? The only reason I can come up with is that he is either a rich jac***s with too much time on his hands, or he is a GOP plant.

He kind of looks like he is a computer generated effect. He should be governor of the Uncanny Valley!

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

[Arkansas Yankee]

All in for Abdul.

I understand that many Democrats in Northern Virginia were voting for Stewart.

I think Michigan is that the place to return a favor.

But maybe Thanedar is the better bet.

We shall have to see.

There's no real point in backing Abdul, since he is not eligible to be Governor under the Michigan Constitution and will be removed from the ballot in the very unlikely event he wins the primary. Meaning the Michigan Democratic Party will just be able to reselect Whitmer as the nominee. Although I guess there's a valid reason if you want to embarrass the party.

Unfortunately Thanedar already challenged El-Sayed’s eligibility and they found him eligible to run.

Great! I don't support El-Sayed, but I definitely don't support a probably-corrupt millionaire's attempts to disrupt the democratic process by taking other candidates off the ballot.

Except for US 127 between St. Johns and Ithaca and traffic congestion around fast-growing Traverse City (which resists any road construction ... to which I say, simply build a freeway parallel to MI-72  as "I-575" to connect it to I-75 and US 127), roads north of the Grand Rapids-Lansing-Saginaw line are fine due to low traffic. Traffic is horrible north of Ann Arbor on US-23  and on I-96 between Lansing and Detroit. I-94 probably has the heaviest traffic in rural areas on a four-lane freeway; if Kentucky can upgrade I-65 to three lanes in each direction, then why can't Michigan do that with I-94? The 69-94 cloverleaf interchange in Marshall was adequate when I-69 had light traffic in the 1970s, but it is only a matter of time before some ugly incident (a vehicle carrying hazardous chemicals)  jackknifes or overturns. I-69 is a through route now, connecting places like Indianapolis and Chicago to Toronto and Montreal.

Michigan is lenient about overweight vehicles, and those tear up Michigan roads.

Gretchen Whitmer will need federal funds for upgrading the 69-94 interchange, upgrading I-94 to a six-lane highway, replacing a surface stretch of pseudo-freeway of US 127, and building a freeway either along US 131 south of Kalamazoo or building one between Kalamazoo and South Bend.  Maybe something across the Upper Peninsula (I-98?) President Trump will not help her, but his successor might.

Republicans are running only the best candidates this year

Does anyone else in the primary have any chance of beating him?
