The messaging from Republicans this election cycle has been absolutely abysmal. And before anyone comes for me — yes, @JohnJamesMI and @MikeRogersForMI HAVE called for suspending the gas tax. That's not my issue. My issue is what happens after they say it. Where's the follow-through? Where's the funding plan everyone can actually see and trust? Because right now, Michigan House Speaker @RepMattHall, a REPUBLICAN, is the one standing in the way, calling a gas tax holiday "not fiscally realistic" and refusing to even hold a vote unless the Democrat-controlled Senate sends it to him first. So we have a Republican candidate for Governor calling for relief at the pump, and a Republican Speaker of the House blocking the vote that would deliver it. Pick a lane! This is exactly the problem. It's not enough to say the right thing in a social media video. Where's the unified message? Where's the pressure campaign on your own Speaker? Where's the real plan for replacing road funding so this isn't just a talking point that dies in Lansing? And gas prices are the LOW HANGING FRUIT. What about families getting absolutely hammered at the grocery store? What about people working their asses off and still struggling to afford basic necessities? What about our public schools, which have gone down the toilet academically and need serious fixing? Stop telling me "DEMOCRATS BAD" and "STOP SOCIALISM" and start showing me the plan — AND the party discipline to actually pass it. @MI_Republicans — do you just not give a shit about getting this done, or do you not have the spine to push your own Speaker on it? Because voters shouldn’t have to guess what you’re going to do with power. SHOW THEM.
