Democrats blunders are the reason Michigan is a swing state and not solid blue by now. No one in Flint is going to forget Obama patronizing their struggles with a publicity bit, and no one in Dearborn is going to forget Bidens actions now.
No one in Flint is going to forget that the emergency manager appointed by Rick Snyder (R) was the direct cause of the crisis.
Nor should they.
But if they're tallying the mistakes and blunders made by elected officials, and voting based on that, people should peruse the many volumes of the Donald j Trump Malfeasances Record Department - either building - and reassess why they're red at all.
The slim folder containing the Biden and Obama fuckups can maybe be used as a fan. It gets hot in those buildings if you're not in the sub-sub-sub basement with the 2016Jan-2016March section.
You're mostly right, but I would say that Obama is not who people remember here when it comes to the water crisis. It was a ridiculous overreach by a Republican Governor and as someone who has lived in the area since before the crisis I still hear Rick Snyder and the emergency managers overwhelmingly. Obama barely gets mentioned
