She works in a state for which manufacturing has been important and that voted for Trump. She can't just be Trump bad all the time like AOC and Bernie who don't represent purple or manufacturing states.

I know what you’re saying, but it’s the same old fallacy unfortunately. If Bernie was from MI with his exact same message as a Dem, he would have won the state.
Do you have any evidence to back up that claim? Whitmer has won in MI. Bernie didn't even win the 2020 primary there, and it was just him versus Biden.
Again, I know the feeling you’re describing, but a majority of blue collar people in rust belt states don’t want “centrists”, they want REAL policies that actually help the middle class. Whitmer blew it, bad, because people are smart, and know trump is a fake.
Nope, but it doesn’t matter where I’m from… been around a long time, been to a lot of places, and talked to a lot of people. I’m clearly not going to convince you of anything, so I’ll move on, but this is essentially highlighting the core issue with Democrats today.
In this case, it sort of does since the whole point was whether Whitmer was misjudging what people who voted for her in 2022 want. But yeah, the problem is primaries have shown one thing while many people have feelings/anecdotal evidence that supports a different conclusion.
I’m not advocating for centrist policies that end up helping the wealthy and hurting the middle and poor classes. I’m just saying to give Whitmer a chance to further explain herself. It seems like she helped MI so not sure why she would fold now
I agree that people usually judge too quickly in this day and age, but to go straight into the White House and agree with the traitor, on camera? Just way too far (imo)…
How do we know she didn't call first? And **** **** head president didn't tell her he wouldn't talk unless she came to the White House? Maybe give her a break and wait to see what she says about it..
Without a date, and without knowing who they were polling, and whether they were including 3rd parties, that's completely out of context and pretty useless. That aside, it's still pretty meaningless because roughly 12% was still undecided, and polls consistently underestimated Trump's popularity.
