... Battle Creek’s Lindsey, an African-American, felt the pain too.

“NAFTA just ripped us apart,” she said.

And though she voted for Obama both times, Trump got her support in 2016. She said she’ll continue to vote Republican.

Lindsey was among Kellogg Co. workers who lost their job because the company had moved work to Mexico following passage of the NAFTA, the U.S. Department of Labor later concluded.

Trump’s message was tailor-made to those workers: His first campaign stop in his 2016 candidacy was to Birch Run, a village in nearby Saginaw County (which also flipped from Obama to Trump), just south of Bay City...

Targetsmart (a predictive voter website) has weighed 'early and absentee' votes from Michigan as follows:

188,672 Modeled Democrat

289,465 Modeled Republican

96,670 Modeled Unclear

And votes are up 45% over 2014 at this time. If those numbers hold up, Michigan will become a solid Red State

I think the mid-terms are going to hold a LOT of pleasant surprises for the GOP. NOT that they all DESERVE to win, but they can be placeholders and we can Primary them out later, if need be.

I can’t WAIT to see the faces of the Media Pukes on mid-term election night. It’s going to be 2016 all over again - but even better!

Winning! MAGA! :)

THEY don't deserve anything. On the other hand we do.

Detroit used to be called, “The Paris of the West” and then the democrats took control.

The only good thing about Detroit is the river, and the 50,000 walleyes per mile that run there each spring!

Hillary Makes A Freudian Slip:
Cracks Racist Joke After Booker/Holder mixup:
“They (black people) All Look The Same” Hillary said.

Hillary's remark is known in psychological circles as a "Freudian slip."

An unintentional error but very revealing.....

Reveals her subconscious feelings.......her deep-held actual thoughts.

Now we know. Democrats sucking-up for Black votes must harbor similar feelings.

Well, people from all over the world come to Detroit to fish the D. river. There really is nothing like it, more walleyes than any place on earth.

Diana, there is only one race in WI I’m interested in, that of Ru Paul’s successor. Do you know anything about that race?

Otherwise, yes, I think a lot of seats (Bishop, Epstein, Balderson) are gonna hold.

I love Walleye it’s mom’s favorite. I remember eating Walleye at the restaurant in Charleviox by the bridge on the outside patio.

They also need to replace the precinct managers in Wayne county to insure they stop recycling cast Democrat votes in the machines to increase the votes by the number needed to beat the Republican candidate.

Jill Stein's Green party started to uncover this voter Fraud in 2016 with her court supported recounts. The recount in Wayne got shut down before they could really start digging by the same Obama appointed Judge that ordered that they recount.

Guess they had to cover up the evidence. 601 votes written on the slip outside the box at one of the polls was a far cry from the 53 actual votes they found inside.

Kudos to you for remembering that. A lot of people still don't know what happened in the Michigan recount.

To me, the most frightening thing about voter fraud is that you don't need an actual fraudulent voter to commit it. All you need is dishonest reporting from the precincts. And in Democrat-run big cities that's all too easy.

Thanks for the compliment. We old Elephant's have long memories.

Ronna Mc Daniel at the RNC would be well served to send a small battalion of poll watchers to keep an eye on those poll workers in Wayne and the surrounding counties. Not to mention the following counties that flipped for Trump....Bay, Calhoun, Eaton, Gogebic, Isabella, Lake, Malcolm, Manistee, Monroe, Saginaw, Shiawassee, and Van Buren.

Those counties may be key for a John James victory now that Trump has endorsed.

Agreed. The mere presence of poll watchers would deter most of this kind of voter fraud. I hope Republicans are on top of this.

He just doesn’t have a big presence in Ohio. My sense is Renacci’s trying to run a Twitter campaign. That says he’s cash poor to me.
