I see the corporatist wing of the Dems as the group that can make it "comfortable and almost acceptable" for centrists and some old school Republicans to hew left. They are necessary even though their influence is out of proportion with their virtue. As for Whitmer, she's calmed things down and de-Englerized MI. (She has great lieutenants in Nessel, AG, and Benson, SOS.) The DeVoses have been driven underground for now, but Erik Prince, Betsy's bro, a snake in the grass, is active with the burn-it-all-down 2025ers.

Indeed. I agree. She has a good team around her. Benson could be a solid governor. My concern is to keep and if possible grow the democratic majority in the legislature.
