I just saw an ad for a Republican candidate for governor in Michigan.

[MIButterfly]

It starts out with him saying Michigan needs a no holds barred governor like President Trump, even showing a picture of DJT. Really, seriously? Are there actually candidates at this late date that still think hitching their wagon to DJT is a winning strategy? Talk about out of touch. Don't get me wrong, I say keep it up, Loser.

He also claims his campaign promises are "rock solid conservative." There's something to brag about.

And far me be it for me to disparage anyone's looks, but he looks shady, slimy and downright scary. I wouldn't want to see him walking toward me on the sidewalk. If this is the best the Republicans have to offer, then the Democratic candidate should be a shoo-in, but then again, that's what I thought about Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris against DJT, so what the hell do I know.

1. I think the only way a Republican wins

is if Duggan takes enough Democrats. Even my dad wants to vote for him.

2. Is Duggan that well-known outside the metro Detroit area?

Would they even be all that familiar with him up north and in the UP? I have no idea how much they pay attention to Detroit politics up there, so I wouldn't know.

4. I don't know. My dad lives Downriver.

6. Your dad would certainly be familiar with him.

I was just wondering about the rest of the state.

3. no holds barred translation: racist, misogynist, vile, anti-LBGTQ+, White Nationalist, Christian in Name Only ...

These are the things that matter to magats.

I wouldn't want to see him walking toward me on the sidewalk.
THAT'S why they like him.

5. Thank you for translating for me!

I forgot that Republicans use code words that normal, decent people don't understand (and don't want to understand).
