After many minutes of research, I believed that I had identified the lesser of five evils in the Michigan gubernatorial Republican primary, but now I'm not so sure. As I said previously, they are all Trumpists, varying only in degree. The Trumpiest of all, according to his own ads, is a guy named Rinke, while the least Trumpiest seemed to me to be a woman named Dixon. I don't recall her claiming that herself in so many words, but Rinke has accused her of it on several occasions, calling her a tool of the Republican establishment, or words to that effect, so I decided to believe Rinke and vote for Dixon.
Trump declined to endorse any of these candidates until Friday, four days before the election, when he graciously bestowed his endorsement on.......Dixon! Does that mean that Rinke has been lying to us and Dixon is really the Trumpiest? Does that mean that Dixon has been less than honest with us about her alleged Trumpism? Does that mean that Trump really prefers Rinke to Dixon but endorsed Dixon, assuming that it would inspire me to vote for Rinke? Normally that would work because I always try to vote the opposite of what they want me to vote, but this time it involves Trump, who is a notorious liar. It's possible that he anticipated my suspicions and said the opposite of the opposite so that I would do the opposite of what I believed he wanted, which would be the same as what he really said.
