Buttigieg's 'Bye-Bye' Boosts GOP's Rogers in Mich. Senate Race

[DIRTYSECRET]

The surprise announcement by Pete Buttigieg that he would not seek the open U.S. Senate seat in Michigan was clearly a major booster shot to Republican hopes of increasing their present majority (53-47 seats) in the Senate next year.

Republican Mike Rogers, lost Michigan's closest-ever Senate race in its history (48.6%-48.3%) to Democrat Elissa Slotkin last year.

Could be ours. Tudor Dixon has the pretty face(those things count) but Rogers has the winning experience. Tudor can make a 2nd chance at the governor's office. With Trump's tailwind they could both win. We'll need more jobs in Detroit.

Slotkin is illegitimate, IMO.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I'm certain that Slotkin cheated to gain a seat in the Senate. For such a young thing, "Pudge" sure has a big double chin.

I'm certain that Slotkin cheated to gain a seat in the Senate.

Totally rigged.

The Democheats have an interesting system in Michigan.

Rogers is a deep state Romney-style RINO. No thanks.

Slotkin was a stolen race. She was way down until the usual Detroit 3 am ballot dump. Poofter Pete dropped out because he was going to lose. Black men are not going for a twink. As 24 proved there is limit to the cheat. That’s why Trump won but the rats still stole 4 Senate seats.

Rogers was a poor candidate, even by Michigan standards. (I live here - I can say that...)

[Ann Archy]

ROGERS couldn’t bezt that FUGLY LESBIAN! Go for TUDOR DIXON!

[oil_dude]

Rogers is a POS Trump-hating RINO, so no.

Sorry but Buttigieg had Zero shot at MI Senate….

GOP would have won easily by 5+ had Pete run.

You can’t carpetbag into the rust belt…
