Generally, off year, special elections do not pull anything close to the numbers that Presidential elections do.
But the Democrats managed to get 92% of their 2016 turnout to show up in this last special election, while the GOP got less than 50%.
Something smells kind of fishy, vertebrate and invertebrate, IMO.
Shaking in your boots hey. Wait till Nov 2018.
Doubtful. Do the Democrats have a plan to lower taxes? To create jobs? To make the country safe? In case anyone's noticed, Trump is doing all that, even without any Democratic participation. The democrats in the Senate have done nothing for a whole year but sit with their thumbs up their collective asses.
They have no accomplishments to run on, no strategy, no economic progrem, no plans, and no platform other than "resist" and "Republicans are racist/sexist.islamophobic/homophobic."
His base may stick with him, but not the others, Mi will vote Dem. I can assure you. Many have buyers remorse. See the ACA, a lot more signed up this year with only half the time, many in northern MI and the UP of Mi are on Medicaid and the ACA. (by the way those are white areas so don't try and say its blacks)
