Its going to be interesting to watch what happens in Michigan this election cycle. So far we have a strong Democrat leading governor and we have Republicans putting together a line up from the primaries. Likely what will happen, based on availability, is that Dixon will become the leading GOP candidate (Maybe...maybe not....Let us see how things unfold.)
A chaotic GOP primary could cost the party in battleground Michigan
While I lean light right I'm not opposed to our current governor. There are good things I agree with and there are things I might disagree with from a policy standpoint. There is plenty of room for discussion and debate on any of these issues (I'm not sure if that makes me a RINO or not. I'm just more middle of the road.).
(Listening and then seeking to understand different perspectives can lead to greater insight into bipartisan cooperation and solutions.)
What I am concerned about is what is available from the R side of things. Old Guard Republicans bring a lot of wisdom and debate to our national policies and have done so for a long time. They have a history of working to help resolve important issues and different presidents. Both parties have fulfilled needs on a national level at different times in our history and that pushes the system forward. (When we step back and take a divergent look.).
However, politics has changed hasn't it? Its different now and we are at present in a slightly different world than 3 years ago. Things are changing, the ground is shifting, and I think we will likely have some confusion on where we should place our feet today, and where we might step tomorrow.
It appears there is some scrambling so you never really know how things can unfold when there is lots of commotion and fuss.
For now, I'm just going to get a bag of popcorn and sort of watch how things unfold.
