This thread is a good example of the extreme partisanship which time and time again is displayed by posters on this board. While the most recent polls have tightened somewhat, I still think that Democrats will win easily in Michigan's statewide races this year. There has been a trend away from the Republican Party, and Michigan is still a Democratic leaning state.
Michigan is not really a dem leaning state anymore. Snyder got elected twice for governor. Trump won in 2016. Macomb county used to be a democratic county but has been moving toward the republicans for years. Oakland County actually has moved left from where it used to be because of the yuppie base for the democrats it has there. Michigan is a purple state.
I'd say Michigan is a purplish state with blue tendencies. You guys have two Dem Senators, after all.
Your logic is like saying Indiana isn't a true Republican state because we had two Dem governors (well, technically three, given O'Bannon's death toward the end of his term) for 16 years straight
