Michigan

I read that Trump is leading Macomb county by double digits. Is that true? I don't know a thing about Michigan but they said Obama won that county. Wonder if that is public info or from the FAKE TRUMP INTERNALS. First of all, how do they have internals if he fired the pollster?

Trump came to town tonight and really blow it.
Crazy Ted was grabbing his crotch and the deplorables really show their backsides.

Plus the newspaper did a interview with a Ford Union Member, who is a "Right to Worker" here in the area. We all know who he is and his dirty connections. That is bad mojo in these parts.

New poll out tonight by local FOX News... Hillary up 5

Trump came in town and people got to witness what he really is all about.
People seem to like him more if they don't know him
He would have been better to stay away.

I predict Hillary's lead will wide before end of business Tuesday night!

I had commented before that something had change around Tuesday of this week
Us old Union guys were try to get a handle on it.
Know that the Ford Union snake stuck his head up, we got this. I am General Motors, but have many Ford friends

I call this guy, PennyPecker, not he real name but something like that.

He is a real me-me guy, never can pass up a interview with the media.

Him and Crazy Ted aren't well liked in these part.

WE got this now.

Trump blow up tonight!!!

if it looked like he would do a 180 on Trump tomorrow. Then I noticed that he posed a question about Michigan and some people responded.

There is no early voting without an excuse here, so Trump and Clinton have until Election Day to make their pitches to voters.


They are reporting count of absentee ballots? If an excuse is required, I would imagine the absentees would represent a pretty small portion of the electorate.

I voted the other day in MI, with barely an excuse, and was allowed to do so with no problem.
