During our recent vacation trip to Michigan, my scant watching of TV did yield two commercials of a political nature.
The first talked about “The Calley Plan,” a plan from candidate-for-governor and current Lt. Governor Brian Calley to fix the roads and otherwise improve the State, all without raising taxes. It sounded a bit like a fantasy, but perhaps he has an unstated funding source: raising corporate taxes, perhaps? Or cutting expenditures of some other sort.
The second commercial featured an attack on Calley’s behalf on Bill Schuette, current Michigan AG, one of his primary rivals. It boiled down to “He doesn’t love Trump enough.”
A depressing showing on Calley’s part. It lacked imagination, leadership, and showed a lack of confidence that he can win the nomination, much less the general election, on his own merits; instead, he implicitly swears fealty to a President who has been credibly accused of treason.
I wonder if an entire generation of Republican leaders will be lost to the Trump black hole of incompetence.
