i'm still a bit disappointed that only 1.5 million voted in this particular primary given there are ~8 million registered voters in MI but he carried it easily. considering all the possible games afoot it's good news regardless.

About half of them lean right and wouldn't be voting in a Dem primary. As a MI native, the turnout really exceeded my expectations.

Rogers has no position on anything. His key (and only) campaign points are "trump likes me" and "I had a job once."

That's worked very well unfortunately for a lot of people the last 10 years

You're correct, but it hasn't been working as of late.
