Governor's race will be a tough slog. Winds will fill the sails of "R" candidates IMHO here in MI if Obamacare is gone and the Tax Plan get approved, as they will supercharge what seems to be an improving economy. You can see it here, greenfield areas are being developed, Job Fairs have a good number of employers looking for people, and I am hearing engineering support role type of jobs (CAD) for the big three are crying for people that can draft and know what they are doing as a lot of old salts have retired. Add to this, the box stores are busy, people are spending money.

This is all anecdotal, but perhaps MI is on the road to MAGA.

With that said the race to watch is the Senate Race, and I hope it is Lena Epstein ( one of 5 Trump 16' CoChairs ) that is an entrepreneur, young and attractive, Jewish Republican, is the candidate to go up against Stabenow ( btw her 1st 24hrs after announcing, she took in $100,000 in donations ). I think she has a great chance of beating Stabenow, and move PDJT to a super majority. I don't see the Dem's taking the Senate or House. Their is one issue IMHO they could run on and I am not going to say it that might give them the moxy they need to win.

Add to this Jared, Ivanka and President Trump campaigning for Lena and others here in MI. I am reading or seeing hints they are going to campaign in 18' like they did in 16'. If so Katie bar the door, more MAGA ahead and I am not tired of winning.
