“Michigan is still wired by the unions at many levels.
They are in a purple rage over Rick Snyder and are pulling
out all the stops to win elections.”
Snyder is up 9 points in the last poll that came out.
Michigan is now a RTW state, and Republicans control virtually all of state government by veto proof margins.
Governor, state house/senate, SOS, AG, the courts, all Republican.
We banned affirmative action, queer marriage and queer unions. We have a strong voter ID law.
Michigan has more pro-2nd amendment laws than Texas!
Most of the US Congressmen from MI are Republican by a wide margin.
Land is a poor candidate and likely will lose, but it will be closer than many think.
All those facts you mention and yet Republicans still can’t win the Senate, with Obama in the middle of his second term.
Honestly your state condition will never, ever, ever be more favorable. In fact, it is pretty much impossible to have any more favorable conditions than that unless the Dem candidate raped a little boy.
And thus, the fact we can’t win, support my hypothesis that the part is defunct and that if it does remain the best they can ever hope for is about 32 total Senate seats forever, essentially a permanent Democrat super-majority.
Facts are facts. The Republican party is finito.
