As to your other main point, everyday Snyder's role model gets out of bed in the White Hut and serves us peons up a different flavor of the same old s#it sandwich. Our very own undocumented democrap governor likes serving us that crap too. Needs some money to balance the budget, don't do what normal households do and look for ways to cut, tax the retirees its the FAIR thing to do. Need more noble workers to lean on shovels at road construction projects while politicians pockets get perked up by the road building industry, more taxes on the peons. Need a bridge to Canada, don't take the money of a perfectly good capitalist billionaire to do that, take federal taxpayer money, Canadian money, and the chains the US Transportation Department will be only too happy to clap on our wallets. The list goes on and on.

So, we'll be frightened into voting for the same old s#it because the alternative is just as big a piece of crap who condescends to us just as much. Maybe if we vote for Jen...er, uh Rick again he'll find some scrap from the table to throw to us, but I doubt it. The hell with him and the MIaGOP. I won't vote demoncrap, but I'll be damned judicious on which candidates do get my vote in the R column.

McNeilly alienated the people who actually made RTW happen in the first place.  calling the grass roots malcontents and magpies is hardly conducive to keeping them on board, and protecting the newly won 24th state status.  The jerk wasn't even there duirng the long process of getting it to the governors desk, yet he is a mouthpiece on it, and craps on the real workers.  Yeesh.

The governor BTW, had more of a worry than the goonions.  Handlers were more worried about a credible challenge if he did not come out of the legislative session with it. Especially given Republicans enjoyed legislative majorities.  There were deals cut as well.

After writing this yesterday, I learned some very disturbing things said by the governor to departing legislators that I hope to get permission to repeat.  Things that one who is paying attention might expect, but would be seen as discouraging nonetheless.
