Washington (CNN)Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer will seize the national spotlight Tuesday evening when she delivers one of the Democratic Party's responses to the President's State of the Union address, drawing attention to a state her party is hoping to win back from Donald Trump this November.

Party leaders announced last month that Whitmer will give the response to Trump's address in English while Democratic Rep. Veronica Escobar of Texas will deliver the response in Spanish. Traditionally, the speech is considered a coveted opportunity that allows rising party officials to voice their opposition to a presidency to a national audience. Previous speakers have included future presidents and prominent lawmakers.

Two years ago the Golden Goddess of Georgia did it. She went on to great success by losing the Governors race by a razor thin 54,000 votes yet still declaring herself the winner.

I wonder if she knows the ladder she’s climbing is propped against the wrong wall.

They aren’t always rising Stars. Remember that old man from Kentucky, a retired governor, I believe, who gave the response one time? He was on the downside of his political career.

Why aren’t Republicans able to win a State Wide race in Michigan?

We need to get behind JOHN JAMES in a big way. If we can get John James over the line(Where are you Kid Rock?)Trump wins Michigan going away.

She should refuse to participate just to show PDJT just how mad they are they can’t find their asses with a flashlight. And there are plenty to find. Hopefully there are at least a few demodrones out there who have become “woke” to the farce the democommies have foisted on the country.

In her first month she tried to push a FORTY FIVE cent a gallon gas tax increase. Her Lesbian Activist AG has made it a priority to harass Catholic adoption agencies because they don’t want to place kids with poofter “parents”. The rats have perfected putting high Dem turnout ballot initiatives on the November ballots. In Mi there were four on the 18 ballot. As a result they flipped the Governor, AG and SOS. The GOP SOS could have made sure they made it to the August primary election but the GOP does not seem to know they are at war.

The only thing stopping Whitmer from turning Michigan into a leftard shithole is the Republican controlled legislature. Our Supreme Court is a bit on the conservative side too.

She's trying to push through a 'gun control' package currently. Praying she's a one term anomaly.

The MiGOP is low energy at best. Then you have cucks like Ricky "The RINO' Snyder.
