Seems like establishment Republicans are waiting for Trump to lose so that they can try to reassert control, but I think it's that simple.

Michigan votes pretty heavily for the D for president most times. The last R to win might have been Bush in 88. BUT we also voted heavily to ban Affirmative Action and Gay Marriage. The Prez/Hate votes were pretty similar other than working class whites in a place called Macomb County. There is certainly a chnace Trump takes some of those who voted for Ds in the past.
The Rs "losing black votes" is not a thing. Woman sure, but maybe they didn't count on that?
