I have friends who are more independent that like Trump. It's not just hardcore Repubs that like him. He wouldn't be doing so well with WWC if it was just Republicans. Those same friends are also do not like Whitmer. I agree with 2016 her election was a fluke. MI is trending R.
It wouldn't just be Whitmer's election that's a fluke then, it'd be the entire 2018 election in Michigan. MI Dems also won the popular votes for both State Senate and State House, along with all statewide elections.
What are you basing this on? Michigan has been Democratic for YEARS up until 2016.
If anything, 2016 was a fluke.
Major Republican wave years.
