Trump, Johnson, and Kaine campaigning in Michigan


Just two weeks ago, Donald Trump and Jill Stein visited Detroit.  This week, Trump returned to Michigan, where he was interrupted and heckled as he visited a church in Flint.  WOOD-TV reports.

Trump was chastised and heckled during what was supposed to be a speech on helping where the government had failed the people of Flint.
Trump may have had supporters there, but he had more detractors, and they weren't shy about booing him when he left the church.  The only good news for him on that front was that Rashida Tlaib wasn't there, or the protest would have been better organized.

Just like Trump's previous visit to Michigan, a minor party candidate visited Detroit the same day.  Then, it was Stein.  Yesterday, it was Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson speaking to the Detroit Economic Club.  Again, WOOD-TV reports.


Johnson's message about the auto companies probably wasn't popular, but at least it was ideologically consistent.

Hillary Clinton may have been off the campaign trail early this week because of illness, but her surrogates were out in force.  Chief among them was Tim Kaine, who spoke in Ann Arbor on Tuesday.  WXYZ reports.

Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine spoke at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Kaine was certainly better received in Ann Arbor than Trump was in Flint.  May the vote totals in November reflect this.

  1. I don't see why the right keeps pushing this Hillary is so sick thing. If we think she's going to die right after she takes office, that makes it a race between Trump and Kaine. Really a lot better for the Dems, IMO.

    1. Habit, I suppose. Nothing like 24 years of hatred of Hillary to keep that going.

  2. Not that I don't wish her a long and healthy life.
