Michigan was the home of the original Reagan Democrats. Trump seems to have won there. This is a historic incident in American politics.

Michigan voted for John Kerry and Al Gore, who lost the presidential election. It is a deep blue state. Things are changing in unexpected directions.

RNC: FBI Continues to Investigate Clinton Foundation

Aaron Klein 6 Nov 2016

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus reacted to FBI Director James Comey’s letter on Sunday informing Congress the agency will not change its previous decision to not recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton in the e-mail probe.

Priebus released the following statement reminding voters the FBI continues to investigate the Clinton Foundation:

“The FBI’s findings from its criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton’s secret email server were a damning and unprecedented indictment of her judgment. The FBI found evidence Clinton broke the law, that she placed highly classified national security information at risk and repeatedly lied to the American people about her reckless conduct. None of this changes the fact that the FBI continues to investigate the Clinton Foundation for corruption involving her tenure as secretary of state. Hillary Clinton should never be president.”

Last week, Fox News cited two sources with intimate knowledge of the FBI’s investigations as saying the agency’s probes into the Clinton Foundation continue to be a “very high priority” among local agents on the ground.

What the Hell is wrong with Breitbart? They’re not calling JACK. MI and PA Trump is ahead but they’re still having it as a toss-up.

We should have taken VA too. Hellary was ahead by only about two thousand votes, but the Dem governor pardoned 60,000 felons just in time to register them as Dems.

Everyone should keep your powder dry. We have won nothing yet.

Premature celebration usually ends with egg on your face.

Let’s wait till DJT crosses the goal line.

Then let’s hope those Reagan Democrats take THEIR party back from the Leninist/Stalinist communists that currently own it.

They need to do a “Long March” through the leadership and purge it.

NY Slims still say Michigan is only 67% probable Republican.

But, they also say Minnesota is only 64% probable Democrat.

Michigan has been up for grabs for the past decade. Not one national candidate (exception Sarah Palin. Love you Sarah!) thought it was worth making even a token effort.

Michigan has a Republican Governor that, like Trump, was a business person with no political experience. He is a bit of a squish but far better then the Hillary Mini-Me we had. Michigan has a Republican legislature.

But there are several things that have change in Michigan in the past 20 years that has changed it. The first was when Detroit lost so much of it's power, the second was when, for the first time in 40 years we elected a Republican Secretary of State, the third thing was voter ID, the fourth thing is we still have paper ballots lastly we have a Secretary of State who has taken voter fraud seriously.
