The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Is Sayed gonna win or lose?

Yes.

The only thing the opposition has been able to say about him is he "disrespects women", which is pretty weak. He hasn't attacked Stevens, or anyone else, that I have seen. His ads are about abolishing ICE, refusing lobbyist money and "Medicare for all". Interesting thing about that healthcare position. He is an MD, ran the Detroit Health Dept, then the Wayne County Health Dept, so maybe he knows what he's talking about .

The third Dem candidate for Senate, who was polling at about 10%, pulled out, and, judging by what the "news" media is saying, all her support went for Stevens, leaving Stevens leading el-Sayed.

The GOP candidate, Mike Rogers is running a few TV ads. The only position he is talking about is "making housing affordable". We know how the Michigan GOP rolls: tax cuts for Billionaires, take from the Proles, and destroy the public school system. iirc, Trump is already dismantling the Federal Dept of Ed.

This state is purple. I looked at the polls. Everything looks like it's within the margin of error. el-Sayed over Stevens by 1.6 percentage points. Stevens over Rogers by 1.3%. el-Sayed over Rogers by 2.5%.

Of course, if Trump prevents the Wayne County vote being counted, it would be Rogers by a comfortable margin. The media has already reported Trump is sending "poll watchers" to Lansing, East Lansing, and Detroit, for the primary on August 4. That could ace out el-Sayed, before November, so that both remaining candidates are staunchly pro-Israel.

Who are our Senators supposed to serve? AIPAC spent millions getting conservative Repub Tom Massie out of the House.

AIPAC has spent a record amount on Michigan's Senate primary, the biggest test of its influence yet

SOUTH HAVEN, Mich. (AP) — Senate candidate Haley Stevens talks often about manufacturing, taking on President Donald Trump and why she's the Democrat best positioned to win Michigan. The congresswoman has far less to say about the pro-Israel group that has spent millions trying to get her elected.

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, and its affiliated groups have spent close to $30 million backing Stevens — their largest investment ever in a single race — as they seek to defeat progressive favorite Abdul El-Sayed in the Aug. 4 primary.
