Description

Will Saletan and Jonathan Cohn take on the shakeup in Michigan's Senate race: Mallory McMorrow has dropped out, leaving a two-way Democratic primary between establishment favorite Haley Stevens and Bernie-backed progressive Abdul El-Sayed. Was McMorrow pushed? Where do her voters go? And is the man who would be America's first Muslim senator the party's biggest risk—or its best shot at holding a seat Democrats have kept for decades?

If like myself, many other Democrats have had trouble deciding between Mallory and El Sayed because they're both likable and not corporate Democrats, I think the corporate Democrats I've made a big mistake if they're the ones responsible for Mallory dropping out. We are sick and tired of the same promises and the same inaction from the establishment Democrats. Although I liked Gary Peters because there was nobody else I liked better. I like El Sayed better.

El-Sayed is the best choice for Michigan and the USA. Rhodes scholar, MD, PHd, has the support of unions, funded by individuals (the way it should be for everyone) so not a pawn for AIPAC, corporations, or billionaires, articulate man who will represent the working class. The right person for issues the near future will hold.

How is being an administrator in medicine not still a doctor? Has he held a legitimate medical license? Michelle Obama went to law school, worked in a law firm, then used her background as a hospital administrator. Pursuing other activities that uses your professional skills, this is hair splitting of the prettiest kind. Plenty of doctors don't treat daily patients, but are involved in research, are still doctors. Sheesh.

It is fascinating to see these intellectual debates about who's electable when DONALD TRUMP was elected. The bar is so fucking low. Come on.

Just thinking, especially in this god awful era of Trump......academic credentials may not be everything, but they sure reflect a capacity to gather and work through facts, which America sure as hell hasn't experienced by Trump and his sad cabal

The political professionals lost to Trump in '24 after he had already tried to conduct a coup. The political professionals seem to be professional losers.
