Platner is what the Democratic Party thinks a working-class White Male actually is and has been telling everyone that for 10 years. This is a perfect summation of that.
Hold on let me put on my bulwark hat and make a very serious scowling face to show that we are suddenly serious about this guy that we thought could be the 2028 fucking presidential nominee.
🚨 MY ENDORSEMENT: Michigan Republican Governor 🚨
I'm a Finance guy. I know when the numbers don't lie.
Michigan is on LIFE SUPPORT:
❌ 40th in real GDP per capita
❌ Per capita income 13% below national average (worst structural gap since 1929 tracking began)
❌ Michigan’s per-capita personal income has plummeted, falling from 16th nationally in 1999 to 39th now.
❌ Since the turn of the century, Michigan has missed out on major job growth, consistently ranking among the worst states nationwide for long-term job growth.
❌ 49th in population growth since 1990
❌ High taxes, collapsing manufacturing jobs, brain drain, and government-protected energy monopolies
❌ Talented people and businesses are fleeing. Real wages tanking.
When’s the last time a major company moved to Michigan?
The last 8 years under Democrat control have been devastating. Local media covers it up, but everyone feels the decay.
John James, unfortunately, is a phony in Michigan politics. Mostly bought and sold by special interests. He takes donations from DTE Energy, skips debates and lacks both the skill set and independence from donors to deliver any form of *actual* change. Nothing improves with him, and he has a near zero chance against Benson. Most importantly, James is already a TWO-TIME statewide loser. While I respect his Military Service, I am sick of the "I flew an Apache Helicopter so vote for me" junk. Enough with the sloppy punchlines.
Mike Cox is solid on navigating politics and bad actors.
But only one candidate has what it takes to save this sinking ship: an outsider who went from middle class to multi-millions mastering QUALITY and EFFICIENCY... the opposite of what the objectively CORRUPT Michigan government has had for decades.
Perry Johnson takes ZERO special interest donations. Zero allegiances. He has directly stated his plan eliminate the income tax, attract businesses back, retain graduates, unleash our oil/water/manufacturing base, and bring RADICAL outsider reform. I know the Michigan people better than anyone and PERRY JOHNSON is the only Republican who can attract the moderate/independent and could even pull some cross-over Democrat votes.
We need Florida/Texas-style growth NOW. Not more of the same.
That’s why I’m OFFICIALLY ENDORSING PERRY JOHNSON for Michigan Governor.
Mike Cox supporters: Time to consolidate the anti-James vote. Michigan has NO runoffs.
VOTE PERRY JOHNSON on Aug 4... The only shot to turn Michigan into a world-class destination people actually move to.
LAST CALL!

HI! I am @ElissaSlotkin . I do nothing in the Senate for you. I spend my time campaigning, whining, and lying to you. I am a worthless six year mistake. If you want someone better than me, make sure you vote @MikeRogersForMI in November
Bernie Sanders didn't just support Platner. He was the primary force pushing him. He was all-in. He dismissed the tattoo, the sexting, the domestic abuse, etc.
He doesn't get to just walk away from this.
So if you’re lucky enough to be on Lake Orion this summer, look for the pontoon with “Hot Pizza” flags flying. Listen for Alynnda’s voice calling out across the water. Watch for Jay’s artful steering behind the wheel as he approaches slowly. @BrendanClarey
