Being elected Mayor of Detroit is like re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic. The depth of union crime and corruption isn’t even fully-known, yet. Lose-lose.
Whatever his game is, Governor of Michigan is not in the cards. Outstate Ganders will NEVER elect a Mayor of Detroit to this office. Too much fear and mistrust. Likely he would want to speed up the conveyor belt shoveling even more of their money into the black hole.
