Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Debate In GR 7/6/22

Not a peep from the righties about this. I'm sure they are all really embarrassed by this latest clown show. One of the worst was Bozo, moderator. I loved how he would read a question from a viewer and then change that question around to one of his own. Total BS.

The one here in Worn last week wasn’t much better. I know a fellow leftist who snuck in and took some audio. Let’s just say that it makes Bryce, kml, and Ben Zonia look intelligent in comparison. That’s pretty sad.

The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

Only 2 I wouldn't vote for Ryan Kelley way too extreme and the big lie and Garrett as well. I'm either going to write in James Craig I'd have a brain fart and put G and not a C which wouldn't count or Dixon those are the 2 that could beat Whitmer in Nov. And I didn't watch the debate I have no interest in them all just talking points from both parties.

I think it showed only on TV8.

I think the news stations only got a few snippets in Warren so I would highly doubt they captured the whole GR debate.

I didn't get an opportunity to peruse any of the gubernatorial GOP debates? I'm not going to be able to re-watch them on YouTube or wherever.

So of those who were able to view them, what did you think? Who shined? Who stunk? Who came across as relatively coherent?

Thanks

During my entire lifetime, every incumbent governor in Michigan was re-elected to a second term. The only incumbent governor in my lifetime to lose any reelection campaign was James Blanchard when he sought a third term in office, and that race was a squeaker.
It will depend on how well the Republicans get people to vote against Whitner, compared to voting for the candidate (which at this point doesn't look like the best strategy).

I got some solid campaign literature from Tudor Dixon that reflects a "vote-against-Whitmer" strategy. The envelope reads "Will you join the grassroots effort to SHUT DOWN Gretchen Whitmer?" and features a smiling face of Dixon and a scowling face of Whitmer. The enclosed letter focuses on Whitmer's actions during the pandemic (executive orders, shutdown of "non-essential" businesses, closed schools, nursing home transfers, etc.). Voting against Whitmer will probably be a cathartic experience for many people who are trying to put the pandemic era behind them.

That's important. Dixon also needs to link Whitmer to President Dementia Joe, and VP Cackling Kamala...and include sound from both. There's an endless supply of material available.

They were all parroting info from fox, especially Nixon, who is coming to a theater near you. There were few new ideas. Little criticism of each other, except from the insurrectionist. He seemed to be a little high-strung. Apparently, he was embarrassed to be marched out of his home in front of his family. The covid-cure hawker was the most animated hoping to make a final sale. The racist was equally unimpressive. His idea of helping the over regulated agricultural industry is lowering the cost of diesel fuel. Good idea. He can go and buy millions of gallons of fuel and sell it to farmers at half of what he paid for it.

Aren't all the GOP gubernatorial candidates racist? Which one are you referencing?

No, but the FLOTUS and most democrats are.
