Dixon absolutely blew the abortion question. She is the 4th tier candidate she was when the race started. She simply isn’t ready for primetime and got her clock cleaned. I got it on 950 while driving… she blew it and sounded unprepared and unpolished. She’s out of her league.

I missed that part. What did she say?
Something to the effect that Whitmer wanted the kids to be sitting ducks in the classroom, while she would give people the opportunity to arm themselves

I disagree completely with your assessment that she was unprepared. Through the course of the debate, she seemed better prepared than I expected. I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to the abortion stuff since frankly I don't care, but I thought what I heard her say is that she's pro-life except when the life of the mother is in jeopardy and that she's not in favor of criminalizing abortion. Sounds like a reasonable position. What did I miss?

I especially liked it when Gretchen responded to one of Tudor’s abortion questions by saying that Tudor was either woefully ignorant or didn’t know the duties of the governor

So it didn't end up being on 7. The EPG just had "19" on it but that was some other show. Wasn't on any other channel that I could find.

Went to the various websites for the channels and couldn't find it on any. Couldn't find any link on 7 or 2 and when I finally found a link on 4 (actually 4+), and started that video it was just replays of some earlier news stories.

So much for any of our local stations being concerned about an informed electorate!!!

They want voters, just want DUMB voters.

Whitmer was wrong. Dixon stated that if a constitutional amendment is passed, the governor has NO power to change that. Whitmer is confused because she thinks she's a dictator.
This is a pro-Harris/Walz account

For what it's worth, Whitmer's price went from 88% before the debate to 84% after. So the people who bet on these things believe Dixon had the better debate.

Whitmer is at 84% and you think Dixon won the debate? I'm digging the math skills...

No question the debate helped Dixon, which was expected. Dixon has no experience in Lansing and so a constant attack position was expected. Whitmer seemed a little dazed at times at all the attacks despite spending millions on ads doing the same thing to her opponent. This race is a toss up, a lot of ballots haven't been returned yet. And attacks on Betsy Devos (a wealthy private citizen last I knew) were strange.

A private citizen that previous ran the department of education for 4 years under a tyrannical fascist.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

That “wealthy private citizen” has a ton of influence in the Michigan Republican Party and has given a ton to Dixon… follow the money.

In an hours time I’m certain we can find the opposite picture… we can probably find 200 of each. What’s your point?

Whitmer set her up.. she said Tudor didn’t support exceptions for “rape incest and health of the mother” then when Tudor answered she only included Health of the Mother…. A prepared candidate would not have omitted Rape and incest… the hell with what she did or did not say before. Omitting those after her opponent included them in an attack on her was a rookie mistake. It’s also out of step with the mainstream that supports such exceptions and it’s an attack ad that wrote itself. Not good if you’re already not running ads of your own to gift your well-heeled opponent an attack ad.
