  1. He would be another Kamala Harris, but he can articulate a sentence lol. He made a mess of our transportation infrastructure and didn’t do much as a Mayor of South Bend, In. I remember many looking for baby formula because their babies were not to have cows milk.
    His military service was a paper pusher if that.
    But Michigan has their work cutout for themselves of getting a new governor.
