John James rises against Michigan Democrat Debbie Stabenow
Washington Examiner ^ | October 12, 2018

Posted on 10/13/2018 3:22:53 PM PDT by SMGFan

In the Michigan Senate race, Republican nominee John James remains a long shot against Democratic incumbent Sen. Debbie Stabenow. But he's an especially attractive candidate, and the most recent poll shows him just 9 points behind his overwhelmingly favored opponent.

What's going on here? Some might point to the fierce battle over Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's nomination. But I think the candidate himself is the key here. As a small business owner who illustrates both the history and progress of the American dream, James is also a West Point and Harvard graduate and a combat veteran.

Although he branched into Army aviation as a helicopter pilot, James earned the Ranger infantry tab. Put simply, James is one impressive guy. And while defeating the Democratic incumbent in nominally blue Michigan will be an uphill struggle, James is not nearly as far behind as you'd expect, given the attention his race has gotten.

The Army Ranger qualification is not exclusively for Infantry personnel. John James likely earned his as a West Point cadet before he even had made his commissioning branch selection. An ROTC friend earned the tab between our junior and senior year but his dream was to become an Armor officer which he did.

If Stabenow is beaten it is going to be a really agonizing night for the democrat party because that means they will be losing everywhere

I’ve seen him on Fox, so I recently sent him a tiny donation.
Would be nice to see him pull it off.

If Stabacow is ousted, I’m going to celebrate.

If she is so worried about the cost of Rx drugs, why didn’t she do something about it sooner? She’s been in office forever.

Gee, if it was a race thing then you’d think John would win going away with Detroit just like Obama. Guess it’s more communism then race but let’s see how it turns out.

When does the Train Train pull into Michigan? DJT needs to get there to help James. A couple of Mega MAGA Trump rallies in huge venues might flip the seat. Remember the Michigan Trump rally on election eve? That’s what we need.

Has anyone ever seen Lil Debbie and Ronald McDonald at the same time? I think not!

I’m convinced that they are the same person.

For the first time, I’m cheering on Wayne and Genesee counties! If James can get just 15% of the African-American vote in Detroit and Flint, Debbie is toast.

Yes, she is, and no, he didn't. Her husband was busted in a prostitution sting.
