OP
Does she realize she will have to mingle with the little people? The ones who pay taxes?

She would be a terrible candidate, pretty much assuring the Michigan governorship stays blue.

militias and stage a military coup to oust Gretchen Whitmer.

(5,499 posts)11. I remember when Granholm mopped up the stage with her husband Dick
I can only imagine what Big Gretch will do to her.
If this is true, it must also mean that no other Repugs want to run. Probably little chance of winning.
Trump made Whitmer a household name. An unknown candidate has an uphill battle with that.

LOVED the products, old man Rich DeVos, but not his spawn and DIL.
Rich must be turning in his grave about now. Rich was compassionate, caring, and giving. Dick and Betsy, not so much.

I welcome her to run.
Please, do it!
