I wouldn't disagree, but the optics absolutely affect how their brands are received

Ultimately just hope he doesn’t play any role in ushering in another era of Republican governance in the state.

I know you think he could have enough juice to win, I’m just concerned with what happens if he doesn’t.

I suspect if he runs a strong campaign, and can't win, the winds are probably blowing in the direction of a Republican anyway

It does, but things tend to move back-and-forth - Milliken won twice, then Blanchard twice, then Engler 3 times, then Granholm twice, the Snyder twice, then Whitmer twice. Last time an incumbent party won re-election with a new candidate was 1960.
