“She would make Michigan tough to win for Trump. Her popularity in the last poll in July was over 60%”.

BS on both points.

Thanks for the Clarity my Friend!

Drag the Biden campaign down? That seems unlikely. Biden is such a terrible candidate that even Epstein, a months dead pedophile would probably improve the ticket.

Joe and the Biden family parasites have a lot invested in China------he likes Witmer b/c a Chinese networking group
voted Witmer the most popular governor----"Most Likely to Bring Noodle Bowl to Chinese Man in Hotel Room."

==========================================

REFERENCE: CHINA NETWORKING IN US——Did Joe and Hunter Biden help China compile “The Friendly Governors’ list”..............
Secy of State Mike Pompeo Says He Has List; American Pols Named as ‘Friendly’ by Communist China pjmedia.com ^ | 2/9/2020 | MEGAN FOX

In a shocking speech to the National Governors Association, Secretary Mike Pompeo revealed that he is in possession of a list of American governors who have been listed as “friendly” by Chinese Communist infiltrators. Pompeo said he had received an earlier invitation from a former governor to attend a networking event that promised great “deal-making” opportunities with the Chinese government.

This networking event was run by “The Chinese People’s Association for Friendship in Foreign Countries,” said Pompeo. But what the US participants might not have known is that “the group is the public face of the Chinese Communist party’s official foreign influence agency, the United Front Work Department.” Pompeo knew of this connection from his former position at the CIA. He questioned the governors on how many of them knew that this group was a Communist-front group. “What if you made a “new friend” at the China networking event?” he asked. “What if your ‘new friend’ offered to invest big money in your state, perhaps in your pension fund, or make a Chinese invest in an industry sensitive to our national security?”

And then Pompeo dropped a huge bomb on the crowd.

“These aren’t hypotheticals. Last year a Chinese government-backed think tank in Beijing produced a report that assessed all fifty of America’s governors on their attitudes toward China. They labeled each pol friendly, hardline, or ambiguous.”

Pompeo continued, “I’ll let you decide where you think you belong, someone in China already has. Many of you, indeed, in that report, are referenced by name.” (Excerpt) Read more at pjmedia.com …

If he picks a white woman, black leader will explode with screams of just more systemic racism. All his mental gaffs regarding race will rise right to the surface and he will be dead meat. My money is on Susan Rice.

Damning, and totally true. Too bad they didn’t all get it and die. They may not be guilty of murder, but definitely involuntary manslaughter.

Thanks. I saw a similar graphic a day or two ago that listed the number of deaths they caused. I think those four killed 40% of all COVID deaths in their nursing homes!

It’s really cool how formal English can convey a message better than mere profanity.

Democrats and republicans in Michigan hate this communist bitzh. This does nothing to cause Trump to loose Michigan.

Her popularity in the last poll in July was over 60%. That's a stretch. Maybe 50% due to Detroit and college towns in Ann Arbor and East Lansing.

To be perfectly honest, none of us knows the truth. My gut feeling is MI will go to the Dem (whomever replaces Biden). I am in the rabidly leftist southeast Michigan region. They love Whitchmore, Hitlery and BLM---a lot. Proudly and calmly have bumper stickers and signs for them.

If someone here put a Trump sticker on their vehicle, an hour later it would take the Michigan State Police a long time to scrape the charred soot off the VIN plate to tell what the burned heap was.

Until it happens to you it's hard to describe the feeling I had years ago, returning to my car and finding the engine was badly vandalized with parts missing. The wrong bumper sticker.

A lot like my apartment being ransacked a few years after that--no known political reason that time. Just greed.

There was a poll in June that had 60% approving her handling of the pandemic. Current polls (within the last few days) have her around 50%

https://www.woodtv.com/news/elections/poll-whitmer-tops-trump-for-pandemic-response/

From the article:

“GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The majority of Michiganders give Gov. Gretchen Whitmer a positive rating for how she’s handling the coronavirus pandemic, a new EPIC-MRA survey of likely voters shows.

Of the 600 people surveyed between May 30 and June 3, 55% gave the governor positive marks for her job overall while 43% gave her a negative rating.

When it comes to the pandemic, 60% of those surveyed approved of Whitmer’s response. President Donald Trump earned a 41% approval rating for his response to the pandemic, with 58% of those polled giving him a negative rating.

Voters were almost evenly split about whether Michigan is heading in the right direction, but 61% gave the state economy a negative rating. The outlook for our nation wasn’t any rosier, with 63% saying the country overall is on the wrong track.”

As with most polls, they are biased toward democrats, and are really unreliable.

Hopefully by the clean end. If he picks Whitemer, he just lost Michigan, no matter what the polls say.
