LOL, not an elitist at all.
I am Fully aware of the constitutional requirements to be a US Senator, very different from having the qualifications to be an effective Member one of the most powerful bodies in the world...
There are plenty better qualified potential candidates to run for that seat that have never been in politics.
You may now step off your high horse...
“There are plenty better qualified potential candidates to run for that seat that have never been.”
May be true, but most likely will all lose. I’m a precinct delegate in MI, just attended the state convention. Not a peep about a serious candidate to run against her. If the pubs don’t put up a serious candidate and fund him/her hugely, they have zero chance. ZERO. Someone like kid rock or Ted Nugent would definitely move the needle. I’m not saying they’re great candidates. I’m saying we have no chance trotting some no name out there against the well established and well funded Stabenow. Hell, I might as well run!
