Still, the scenario isn’t what Democratic activist Lori Goldman expected after the party’s enthusiasm spiked with Harris’ July entry into the race.
“What did we see? Money coming in like crazy. Everybody was excited. There was such a bump,” said Goldman, who founded Fems for Dems, a leading Michigan Democratic voter outreach group based in Oakland County. “And now, you know, it’s neck and neck.”
“It is PTSD,” Goldman said.
Oh Fems for Dems, LOVE that! PTSD or PMS, Lori?
Goldman was referring to what Dingell remembers as the outcome of her unheeded warnings in 2016. The Democratic nominee campaigned in Michigan only four times from June through the election. Instead, she focused more on Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, all of which she also lost.
Polls that showed Clinton ahead in Michigan, said Michigan Democratic strategist Adrian Hemond, as others did at the time, did not accurately reflect Trump’s support in the state.
Ain't gotta worry 'bout Fl and Oh this year! Didn't think I had to worry 'bout Mi this year, but sounds like you vaginas got a SPD, a sexual political disease!
