Interesting... Good to see supporters of the various #Candidates (on MeWe Platform) stepping up their approaches to promoting their TOP CHOICE #Candidate (One Candidate is doing I ENDORSE memes (much like several Candidates I'd supported/endorsed in the past))...
I like the Candidate getting a Personal #endorsement in the image/Post. I actually like a couple of the #MIGOP #MIGov 2022 #Primary Candidates. SADLY without a #RANKEDCHOICE PRIMARY (you Vote for several -- #1 ... #3 or whatever, to FILTER UP the real #consensus choice) #Dixon, #Saldano, #Kelley, #Rebandt, are all going to split the Conservative Vote (and maybe even #Chenge too, but I don't know anything about but hear some supporters mention) and ensure that #Craig (with most #Voting for just due to his name recognition and/or the favoritism of/for him in #Lansing) will get the nomination. OR, at least IF NO 3+ RUNNING AND NOT ONE GETS 50% (or more) FORCE A RUNOFF OF TOP 2 (but RANKED CHOICE saves the money and hassles of a RunOff).
We (Wayne-12CDRC (I am the Newsletter Editor)) will be reporting a couple TOP 3 (but non-ranked, non-weighted) #StrawPolls from the area in our W12 Dec Edition Newsletter.... Out some time after Dec 5 - keep eye on http://tinyurl.com/W12Newsletter2021-7 . As well as keep an eye on http://12cdrc.org/news (#MICD12GOP #NEWS) section late December for additional Reporting/News (I am this site's Webmaster)!

Craig would be my LAST CHOICE of those Running for #MIGOP #MIGov 2022 #nomination... But he is still a HIGHER PICK than #WHITLER if that is (and I'm indeed predicting (not wanting, just years of experience/history suggests to) you in advance, IT IS) the General #Election choices. Hope I am wrong.
I have been involved in #Politics since 1978... It is what it is... I deal in REALITY (and what is likely to remain the reality, UNLESS some Candidates drop out and consolidate #Vote behind one, two at the most (and good argument for NEED FOR RUN OFF Election Laws))!
THE SAD REALITY IS that far too few GET OFF THEIR HIND-ENDS and even Vote in the Primary Elections (and also that we need CLOSED PRIMARIES (ACTUAL, REAL, not the FAKE/PRETEND twisted language version (#Michigan currently has) of "Closed" of only Voting in one Party Primary, anyone can still get OUR PRIMARY BALLOT (without having to be PreRegistered anywhere as a #Republican) to vote on/in here in #Michigan (you walk in on Primary day and choose whichever Party Ballot you want)) we need COMPLETELY PREREGISTERED CLOSED PRIMARIES so Democrats cannot meddle in our Primary and give us our WORST OPTION (so they can help their Candidate Win on General Election day trying to get our Side to SIT OUT an/the General Election))... Which gets us exactly what is coming... What has always been the Results of Peoples INACTION (long before, up to, and on Primary day)! AND SADLY AS BAD so few are actually involved (BE A #DELEGATE, and do not be fooled the Establishment FEARS the oncoming onslaught of NEW DELEGATES (see: https://beforeitsnews.com/republican/2021/09/the-rinos-in-lansing-michigan-are-only-delaying-the-inevitable-there-is-a-conservative-wave-coming-to-wash-them-away-2444972.html)) year 'round, every year, that leads up to our ability to recruit GOOD PRIMARY OPTIONS/CHOICES of those able/willing to Run.

People are right about some "negative" aspects (bragging about ticketing people over unconstitutional mandates) as far as GOP values/principles go) about CRAIG.... Also, while Craig made remarks in Detroit during the #BLM bs that was positive (he was not going to allow them to burn down #Detroit (which already never recovered from 60's Riots)) and mouthed the words about #2A and people being able to defend/protect themselves (though he's silent on whether he'd support #CONSTITUTIONALCARRY Bill(s))... That was NOT his position during his Portland years... DID HE EVOLVE on the #2A issue?!?!? It is possible... but if he has, we need ADMISSION HE WAS WRONG BEFORE AND THAT HIS POSITION IS NOW DIFFERENT FROM THEN!
But PRIMARY TIME... These are discussions to have for the Primary, but doesn't sound like any I know are considering CRAIG in/for Primary... Why do you SUPPORT SOMEONE in the Primary, not reasons to OPPOSE another (if all you can do is attack another Candidate, it demonstrates a lack of ability to argue FOR your own Candidate (and, again, Craig is my LAST CHOICE and I am open to several in the Race right now (but, again, that is going to assure Craig gets the nomination unless others that are splitting the Votes now drop-out and consolidate behind ONE CANDIDATE to win the Primary)))!
If you are new to #Politics, SORRY TO DELIVER THE BAD NEWS OF REALITY as to how these things go - your response needs to be NOT TO COMPLAIN and SIT-OUT an Election to allow #FASCICRATS easy Victory... but to GET OTHERS OF LIKE MIND OFF THEIR BUTTS AND INVOLVED (more, going forward) in order to be able to have ANY CHANCE at changing things (now or in the future, as far too many only get off their hind-side at General Election time, when they need to BE A DELEGATE and involved YEAR ROUND (https://beforeitsnews.com/religion/2021/10/all-that-is-required-for-evil-to-prevail-is-for-good-peoples-to-do-nothing-2561245.html))!

I 99% (or so, remember Joe the Plumber, how about Durr? The Trucker that knocked off the NJ House (or 2nd in command) leader? and even though #Trump was #POTUS45 I still think of him as the OUTSIDER I AM SUPPORTING FOR 2024, etc) of the time SUPPORT THE OUTSIDER CANDIDATE(s). This shows why it cannot be 100% of the time. I am still supporting KRISTINA KARAMO (see: https://jlenarddetroit.locals.com/post/1446811/the-attached-advertisement-for-kristina-karamo-is-wrong-see-image) and any number of the Outsiders Candidates in the MIGov race (makes ZERO SENSE to pick one yet, until we see who makes the filing requirements/deadline) but heavily leaning toward Trump favorite Tudor Dixon. BUT, remember, a POTUS45 endorsement isn't INFALABLE! He just pulled his Mo Brooks endorsement, he should have never given in the first place, and he'd endorsed Luther Strange, MITT ROMNEY, Ronna for RNC, need I go on? He still is making TOO EARLY CHOICES based on BAD ADVICE OF OTHERS! Sadly, another reason why Tom should NOT drop out, who President Trump tried to appoint during his term to a Post that STABYANOW AND PETERS blocked (under USSenate Rules) or Tom would've been another one of the many Trump appointees in Office now/already! DePerno shows, again, his UNHINGED side (acting more like a ranting/raving FASCICRATS SNOWFLAKE than a serious Candidate) with this INCITING RIOTS/VIOLENCE! Again, said this over and over on the radio, in emails, in phone conversations, I could/would support someone, well I would have before this GOING WAY TOO FAR, could have supported someone with wild antics, hyperbole, etc, for MIHouse, MISenate, or even a Congressional seat, but he shows time and time again HE IS NOT A SERIOUS PERSON and unqualified to be TOP LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER OF MICHIGAN (while inciting Riotous behavior)! LET ME REPEAT AGAIN, said this over and over on the radio, in emails, in phone conversations, I could/would support someone, well I would have before this GOING WAY TOO FAR, could have supported someone with wild antics, hyperbole, etc, for MIHouse, MISenate, or even a Congressional seat, but he shows time and time again HE IS NOT A SERIOUS PERSON and unqualified to be TOP LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER OF MICHIGAN (while inciting Riotous behavior)! And for those who feel you cannot Vote for Tom for whatever reason, yes, I get it, he's been around a long time, he's certainly NOT A RINO but by definition of his long term Service is THE INSIDER in the Race, so Vote for that other (3rd) guy!!

This article was in the Snyde Report (gary@snydereport.com) (DEMOCRAT based) and was originally from Michigan Advance (DEMOCRAT based) - OH, I'm not talking about the STORMING part, I'm not even talking about the Meshawn Maddock part, (or Ron Weiser trying to persuade Tom Leonard to "drop out" of the AG race), I'm talking about the "15% Hard Working Republicans" part. Go to "Michigan Precinct First" Click on Conventions and there is no mention of this rule or how an outcome could be pre-determined by "packing" the vote. I have asked many long-term, smart, active, informed precinct delegates and everyone is familiar with the term, "Hard Working Republicans" but not the 15% (some thought it was 10%) or how they get chosen. JUST SAYING! In my quest to learn and be accurate about the information I share, if anyone knows where to find the ULTIMATE GOP RULES & GUIDELINES book, please pass that information on to me, and other eager-to-learn folks who are struggling! It's hard to help win the game when the rules are hidden! And while I'm on a rant, Who selected the people on the Michigan committee that voted NOT to use paper ballots at the state convention? I understand that some of those positions are filled by Party executives but I don't recall ever having had the opportunity to vote for or against the others representing (?) me. Margaret APRIL 8, 2022 1:41 PM Michigan Advance michiganadvance . com Republican candidate for attorney general Matt DePerno is urging his supporters to “storm” Republican county conventions across the state. DePerno, who received the unusual endorsement of Michigan GOP Co-Chair Meshawn Maddock, despite there being two other candidates in the race, told his supporters to register for conventions in each of Michigan’s 83 counties, where delegates for the statewide endorsement convention will be selected. During a rally last weekend with President Donald Trump, DePerno told his supporters to “storm” the conventions, and his campaign has set up a website with the same message. “Every one of you delegates, raise your hand right now. I need every one of you to go to county conventions on April 11. It’s time we storm the convention,” DePerno said. “And if you’re not a delegate, you still need to go to county convention. It is time to storm the convention.” The other Republicans seeking the nomination are former House Speaker Tom Leonard (R-DeWitt) or state Rep. Ryan Berman (R-Commerce Twp.). Republican precinct delegates and officeholders will meet at county conventions Monday to select who to send to the statewide endorsement convention on April 23 in Grand Rapids. The nominee will face Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel in November. Under the rules set by the Michigan Republican Party, those precinct delegates elected in the August 2020 primary are given preference to become delegates to the statewide convention. Under a “hard-working Republicans” rule, however, the county convention could choose to allocate up to 15% of its statewide convention seats to people who are not precinct delegates but would be treated as if they are. If enough elected delegates at a county convention favored DePerno, they could select to send non-delegates who would also support their candidate of choice rather than other elected precinct delegates who may support Leonard or Berman instead. Usually, candidates for attorney general and secretary of state would be selected at August nominating conventions, shortly after new precinct delegates were elected in the August primary. This year, however, the Republican Party opted to hold an early endorsement convention in a bid to give the candidates more time to build their general election campaigns. Michigan Democrats used a similar strategy in 2018 when seats were open due to term limits. Maddock also endorsed Kristina Karamo for secretary of state over state Rep. Beau LaFave (R-Iron Mountain) and Chesterfield Township Clerk Cindy Berry. Some candidates had already questioned the fairness of the convention following Maddock’s endorsements, leading some to speculate that a candidate who loses at the endorsement convention could continue their campaigns into the August nominating convention. “At the end of the day, frankly, I think it’s going to backfire on her,” LaFave said following Maddock’s endorsement Karamo. “Everyone that loses at convention is going to be upset by the appearance of impropriety, even if one does not manifest itself at convention. So I’m sure that when I win at convention, everybody that doesn’t win is going to be very upset.”
