Imagine what extreme measures a desperate Democratic establishment couldd take to ensure only the most frenzied Maga candidates and public figures rise to the forefront of politics prior to elections. Since the Jan 6th hearings failed to sway anyone. They must think outside the box, utilizing the full weight of media. Biden sending the FBI into Mar a lago for a raid is just a preview of what we are in for. Could anything energize the right wing fringe more than such overreach at Trump and fellow Maga candidates? Dems know they only do stand a chance when national attention is on how crazy Republicans react. They want more crazy, at all costs.

I'm no politician, but this seems pretty basic. It's far harder to defeat an incumbent in an election. If Meijer loses his primary, Dems don't have to defeat an incumbent. This piece comes across as whining from a toady who has done everything he could to ingratiate himself to Democrats, then feels betrayed (and, hilariously, surprised) when Democrats work to unseat him.
