My guess is that Upton will "choose" to retire rather than face a primary that he'll lose.
And then, just like Kinzinger and Gonzalez, he'll be gone. And good riddance to him!
Let it be so! Kate's Uncle Fred has been on my S-List ever since he voted that the incandescent light bulb be deemed an existential threat to mankind.
“Fred Upton is a liberal republican, an Arlen Specter type, and one of the impeachment ten.”
Meijer is a liberal piece-of-shit impeachment stooge too. Huizenga doesn’t strike me as being overly conservative either, but he’s the best of this bunch and therefore will likely be the odd man out; hopefully he’ll challenge Upton and win.
The Grand Rapids area has been trending hard-left over the past few years, and the new district which encompasses it actually favors a Democrat pickup now so Meijer could be gone too, not that anyone would notice very much if he were replaced by a liberal Democrat nutjob. Republicans are supposed to be able to make gains elsewhere on this new “independent commission”-generated map (the new 10th district + maybe Slotkin’s and Kildee’s seats) but we’ll have to wait and see about that. It would be great to see that Slotkin bitch kicked to the curb.
One other incumbent liberal Democrat is going to get snuffed in Oakland County, because 2 of them are going to have to run against each other in the primary (and then easily win the general election) unless one decides to retire.
Upton is a total dicknipple.
Upton is the quintessential Bush League Republican.
We can’t keep re-electing Assistant Democrats and expect anything but them assisting the Democrats.
Looks like Upton will be out. 3 of the 10 down. 7 to go - including that other turd from Michigan, Meijer.
