Michigan Republican's State Party Clown Show

Ever since losing the last state-level election, which very much was the Republicans to lose - and lose they did, the Michigan Republican Party has been busy running a three-ring circus.

First, they elected Kristina Karamo as the Republican State Party Chair.  The same Karamo that lost her race for Secretary of State, badly.

The same Karamo that made allegations without evidence just before that election regarding Detroit's mail-in ballots and filed a lawsuit against Detroit right before the election which was guaranteed to piss off and fire-up Detroit Democrat voter turn-out - and it did - to her and everyone else's detriment.

She then went on to unsuccessfully sue Comerica Bank and a Trust that owns the Michigan Republican Party Building.

Finally, it looks like the adults will be back in charge with Pete Hoekstra being elected as the new leader in a party meeting - but Karamo is claiming that vote was not legitimate and she's still the party leader. In short: Clown Show.

Verily Jane’s Law strikes yet again especially if you change it to include party chairs and functionaries: “The devotees of the party in power are smug and arrogant. The devotees of the party out of power are insane.”

The state Republican party needs to get its act together, and start acting like the adults in the room, pronto.
