In reply to the discussion: Jennifer Granholm switches gears for Hillary Clinton [View all]cascadiance

Look at the percentage of voters that voted for minimum wage in four red states in 2014, where so many corporate Democrats did poorly. Also look at how many people support his positions on issues like the TPP/TPA, student loan debt. raising taxes on the wealthy, etc. which so many corporate controlled Democrats don't have the courage to stand against their controllers, which so many average voters, regardless of party absolutely HATE the prospects of being passed! They've learned the hard way with NAFTA, and they don't want crap like that any more.
Many from all parties will see him as a breath of fresh air on issues like this, not just some "small segment" that the corporate controlled media and parties try to make it sound like.

Granholm left Michigan in a shambles. She can't "deliver" Michigan due to her lack of popularity. nt
