Republicans are the real winners of Michigan’s primary.
Economist ^ | Oct 6, 2026

Posted on 08/09/2026 4:05:56 AM PDT by Milagros

DONALD TRUMP was jubilant. “Great news for the Republican Party”, he wrote on Truth Social on August 5th, one day after the Democratic Senate primary in Michigan. Abdul El-Sayed, a leftist insurgent and former public-health official, had just eked out a one-percentage-point win over Haley Stevens, a congresswoman backed by most of her party’s establishment.

I’m sure it kills the Economist to have to admit this.

Ridicule is a powerful weapon against the left, but it’s not going to win moderates over to our side. The left is fighting tooth and nail to prevent voter ID and other anti-fraud measures, because they know their only chance to wrest control back is to stuff the ballot boxes in November.

May the Lord protect us and guide us, because if they win in substantial numbers, we’re going to see some terrible things in this country; and I fear that once the camel’s nose is in the tent, there’s no evicting it without violence. History has proven this to be true time and time again.

Thune has assured that there will be epic election fraud in the midterms. It will be election jihad.

In some ways “Great news for the Republican Party” is true.

A muzzie for a senate seat is truly a gift as it will get lazy voters out for a change. This demonstrates what a mess the rats are in, they are the ones who walked into political quicksand by embracing a global, murderous cult. Pure schadenfreude.

That election fraud never stopped Trump from winning Michigan in 2024.

Abdul El-Sayed, a leftist insurgent and former public-health official, had just eked out a one-percentage-point win...

How is having a leftist insurgent and former public-health official elected to run in the upcoming general...a good thing?

They're distracted right now. Their latest issue is one continuous hate-fest on Elon Musk.

1. El-Sayed was leading in polls by over 10%. He barely won by 1%.
2. Having a far left muzzle as Democrats candidate almost assures Republicans win the US Senate seat.
Michigan is not NYC.

His quotes about JD Vance suggests he’s got a mean streak. Mamdani’s has one too but his smile hides it.

Of course we could cheat also.

But we cant. The democrat news media will see it and use their megaphones to reveal it. And then republicans will go to jail. Democrats never go to jail because the potential prosecutors are afraid of being labeled haters (racists, homophobes and so forth).

It is a terrible bind we find ourselves in...

Very good observation.

This has been the major advantage of Progressives for nearly a hundred years. The height was from 1960 to 1994.

Now, the Media has enough conservative voices that the Democrats also get caught cheating, at least some of the time.

It is how Trump is winning.

It’s no time for complacency. It’s time to run scared.

My understanding from Michigan Freepers is that Haley Stevens is dumber than a fence post. Perhaps that is why (in part) she lost. Now it’s up to Camel-Boy to man-up on his own.
