I think this is a great development because Hoekstra can win while it’s unlikely the other Republicans can.
(Now to wait for some Michigander who thinks Hoekstra is a contemptible RINO to tell me to shut up because I’m from Illinois. That would be some irony.)
The Senate majority is everybody’s buissness.
Every Senator has power over every American. (And sbMKE would have every right to his opinion even if that wasn’t the case. This is America.)
“Oh you aren’t from (state) so shut up” is a tremendously lame argument. So is “oh your state has (ahole democrat senator) so shut up and clean your own mess”. I didn’t vote for any of the asshats in my state and I take serious umbrage when someone tries to imply that it’s somehow my fault they were elected. I guessing sbMKE didn’t vote for Kohl.
I don’t know you but I want to think you are better than this.
I think Hoekstra has a RINO streak but he’s well to the right of McCain and not even on the same planet as Stabenow.
He’s well known and can win. Its an OK tradeoff.
I’ve always like Hoekstra, and have never noticed a liberal streak in him. He’s a first-tier opponent to Stabenow, maybe not quite as strong a statewide candidate as Mike Rogers or Candace Miller, but excellent nonetheless.
