The Michigan GOP is upside-down.

This week, our most-read story was an opinion piece written by former Republican state Representative Susan Tabor, who says she is “distraught” by the extremism that has gripped her party. We appreciate her for sharing her insights, and for her bravery. It seems like many conservatives cannot bring themselves to speak out against what has become the Party of Trump. Thank you, Susan.
