Of the Republicans I know, I don't think any of them are afraid of Kamala. I think they are just Republicans and the idea of actually choosing is a foreign concept.

I don't get that. I'm an independent. Have been since I could vote. In theory I would vote Republican, but in fact there hasn't been one I'd vote for since McCain lost the 2000 primary (and that includes when he won it in 2008—I don't know what they did to him, but he was a different man by then.)

But there are a lot of people who either vote their party or just stay home. This year there are barely any ads for Republican state candidates or Trump (could be I'm in a filter bubble, though). The state GOP is a smoking ruin.

There is nothing here pushing us red. This is so different from 2016 and especially 2020. I'm not a pollster. I'm not a political expert. But I just can't see any path to a Republican victory here in Michigan as we went blue in 2020 and he had so much more visible support compared to today.

But we'll see come Election Day.
