“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.
Also, this "former" Deep State operative always has a lot of "geld" to spend in the course of buying her way into Congress, vastly outspending and defeating a Republican incumbent in 2018 and outspending her opponent by a similar amount in 2020 to buy the seat again. For 2022, no serious Republican has yet decided to take her on.
