More of this!!Republican Mayor Drops Donald Trump for Joe Biden in Key Swing State of Michigan
By Jeffery Martin On 3/9/20 at 9:21 PM EDT
With Tuesday's Democratic primaries hours away, former Vice President Joe Biden has found an unexpected supporter in Sterling Heights, Michigan Mayor Michael Taylor, a Republican.
"Since announcing my endorsement of Joe Biden I have received an outpouring of encouraging messages and believe even more strongly that Joe Biden is the candidate who can defeat Donald Trump in Macomb County and the State of Michigan," Taylor said in a statement to Newsweek on Monday.
While Taylor, a life-long Republican, voted for President Donald Trump in 2016, he said he would cast his ballot for Biden this year because Trump is "deranged."
"I think Joe Biden is the candidate who can unify all of the Democrats and he's the candidate who can appeal to moderates and Republicans like me who don't want to see four more years of President Trump," Taylor said, according to the Chicago Tribune on Monday.

(32,628 posts)Our PA primary isn't until the end of April, so nobody is noticing yet. But Michigan is another important swing state and what's happening there is going on everywhere. The intelligent Republicans will not vote for Chump, they'll either switch parties (in the general election) or they'll just refrain from voting.
It's already happening now.
