There is a virtual news blackout on this here in Mi. You would never know the primary is today. I will vote for Trump. The rats control the election process here and I see little chance we can overcome the Detroit after hours ballot mill which will overwhelm any Trump lead.

for those who might be confused about the Michigan GOP primary/caucus (and who wouldn’t be):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Michigan_Republican_presidential_nominating_contests

The 2024 Michigan Republican presidential primary and caucuses are set to be held on February 27, 2024, and March 2, 2024, as part of the Republican Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election. 55 delegates to the 2024 Republican National Convention will be allocated on a proportional and winner-take-most basis.[1] The primary will take place concurrently with its Democratic counterpart.

Background

In the 2016 Michigan Republican presidential primary, Donald Trump won with 36.5% of the vote, carrying 25 out of 59 delegates total. His closest opponents, Governor of Ohio John Kasich and Senator from Texas Ted Cruz, received 24.9% and 24.3% of the vote, respectively, with both candidates receiving 17 delegates.[2]

Schedule

In February 2023, Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed legislation to move up the date of both the Democratic and Republican presidential primaries in Michigan to February 27, 2024, in line with the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) state reorganization plan.[3]

The date violated Republican Party Rule 16(c)(1), which prohibits any state/territory except Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina, from holding their primary/caucus until March 1, 2024, violating any other state/territory by stripping 80% of its delegates at the Republican National Convention.

In response, in June 2023, the Michigan Republican Party passed a resolution of intent that would allocate 16 delegates based on the results of the February 27 primary and 39 delegates based on the results of caucuses in each of the state’s 13 congressional districts on March 2.[4]

The convention held by the faction of the Michigan Republican Party recognized by the Republican National Committee led by Pete Hoekstra will be in Grand Rapids at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel on March 2,[5] while the faction of the Michigan Republican Party led by Kristina Karamo will hold their convention in Detroit at Huntington Place on the same day.[6] While media is invited to the Karamo caucus, it will be closed to the public.[7] The RNC has indicated that only the delegates from the Hoekstra-led convention will be seated for the 2024 Republican National Convention.[8]

The Democrats are divided in Michigan because the Islamic folks are so angry at Biden.

You may be in for a pleasant surprise in Michigan in November—even with the Democratic cheating.

The mass media is terrified of Michigan because it has two issues that terrify the Democrats:

—An upcoming President Trump stunning annihilation of Nicki.

—A Muslim uprising that embarrasses Biden

Those do not fit into the “narrative” so they are trying to ignore them as much as possible. They want to depress the turnout of both Trump Republicans and Islamic Democrats.

Congrats on voting today. It is going to be an outstanding one.
