Neither should one oppose Bentivolio simply because he isn't a skilled politician. I'm not thrilled that he doesn't have a high profile, but he has been on the right side of many important issues, including removing Eric Holder, criticizing NSA excesses, reducing funding to government agencies, opposing amnesty, supporting small businesses, and even wishing to impeach el presidente. On the other hand, Trott is remarkably well-funded but his campaign appears to be based essentially on "making Washington work." At this point, that sounds dangerous to me!

He doesn’t know how to raise money, in his competitive district that means he’ll lose sooner or later, if not in the primary then to a democrat, not this year probably but, in 2016? Bad politicians tend not to last, look at Jean Schmitt in Ohio, she had much closer races with democrats than she should have and finally lost the primary in 2012.

He lost the special election for the last 2 months of McCotter’s term to a nobody rat, after having won the GOP primary only because no one else was on the ballot. He only won the general election for the full term because the newly redrawn seat was slightly more Republican and the democrat (a different one than in the special) was a Pakistani.

He’s no Amash, I’ll give you that, his record is fine, he doesn’t appear to be the giant Paultard Amash clone I feared he’d be.

But I don’t want to give a seat away to democrats out of some need to defend a fluke winner because he’s a good guy. We need good guys who know what they’re doing, especially in non safe seats.

I respectfully agree to disagree with you guys on this. I prioritize crushing the marxist swine, too much you may think.
