[Mick]

Doesn't surprise me Detroit is getting hit hard.  Not a hygienic city, based upon my observations during the four years that I lived there.  And their governor is an idiot.

Mick's vague non-public aspersions notwithstanding, I did not find Whitmer to come off like an idiot in this interview, and she seemed more than measured in responding to questions about how Trump has treated her and in calling for cooperation between the states and the federal government. 

And at a minimum, Mick, if you think think she's an idiot, I can't imagine what you must think of the guy running the daily national press briefings. At least she knows how to finish a sentence.

I think they're both great at getting elected.  And don't you find it remotely interesting that Whitmer doesn't mention her brief employment between law school and running for office at age 29?  It's not on her bio, it's not even on her official Wikipedia page.  Nor does she mention her brief return to said employment when she term-limited out?  The fact that she couldn't get into UM even though her father was a lawyer and one of the most connected people in the state, should tell you something.

I have personal experience with her.  We worked for the same organization.  I suspect you've never met her.  I won't comment further.
