Michigan Dem Primary a ‘Dumpster Fire’
Former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), a candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan, described the Democratic primary as a “dumpster fire” as candidates and the party continue to “get as liberal” and go as they can, during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday.
During the conversation, host Matthew Boyle referenced several polls that show Rogers “leading all Democrats running” by sizable advantages. While Rogers warned that it was Michigan and therefore the race would “get tighter,” he also remained hopeful that he was “ahead so far.”
“This Democratic primary is a bit of a dumpster fire for them. They’re rushing to go as liberal, as left as possible. One thing about Michigan, and people see Michigan as a blue state, I think it’s more of a purple state now, is that it’s a working class state,” Rogers said.
“These are people who get up every day, follow the rules, put the kids on the bus, go to work and work hard every day. They’re not the left-wing, East Coast liberals that the Democrats are in the primary. They continue to call for everything from boys in girls’ locker rooms, to defunding the police, to raising taxes.”
“They’re so lopsided – that’s why I think this poll is good. We’re just implementing a good old common-sense, pro-worker, pro-family agenda that’s going to put Michigan on the right track.”
Rogers went on to point out that the Democratic Party has controlled Lansing, Michigan’s capital, for “nearly a decade.” During this period, the state has “lost tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs, its air base and defense industrial base, its manufacturing capacity, among other things.”
“By the way, they’re doing all these things, they’re doing it now in other states. And part of the reason is that people are starting to get the joke of, guess what? When Democrats are in charge, bad things happen. Bad things happen in your economy, bad things happen in your neighborhood when it comes to crime, and future jobs and prosperity just don’t materialize under Democratic policies.”
Rogers continued to talk about how “working men and women feel like the Democrats have gone through the motions and given them the finger” as they adopted East Coast and West Coast policies.
