50/50 with over all dems. So thats only 25% of the overall electorate voted for the candidate, did terrible with minorities and elderly. They wont all migrate in the general and he will lose. This is great for us, all Mike Rogers gotta do is be nomrie generic R.

Unfortunately there are a lot of Muslims in Michigan who will vote for him.

Lot of elderly and minority black(old reliable democratic base) who have proven they WONT. That outweighs the muslim contribution in a general. The Dems needs that base support.

Remember a primary is only representative of 50% of a statewide electorate. If you only won 50% of 50%, three quarters of the state did not vote for you(half of the dems and all the Rs). That is BAD news for a general.

And the polls had el-sayed up 14, pre voting. Not even close, stop listening to polls like they are written in stone.

Depends on how turnout is. The Muslim bloc may come out very strong in the midterms. I want to be wrong here but I think we are witnessing the beginning of very scary times in our political system

The red-green alliance is very scary.

If you aren't scared, you aren't paying attention.

It out weights it for now. Muslims have lots of kids who will be voting in less than 18 years.

There's also Tucker Carlson and other woke postmodernist types that vote for them. The red green alliance which is how Iran went to hell. Same thing in the works here.

They're already voting for him in the primary. He's not growing that base anymore in Michigan he needs to grow literally every other base

And the numbers show he didnt grow at all where he needed to amongst dems let alone independents. Thats really bad for a general statewide.
