Whitmer's dad was the CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shields Michigan. That made him the most important person in insurance in the state and most certainly a multi-million annual salary. Their current CEO makes over $13 million a year.

And wasn't her mother also a Lansing bureaucrat of some sort?

She was a typical academically lazy rich state school sorority girl. It's quite obvious her dad and his cronies turned her into governor to benefit their business interests.


White privilege.


Two uncalled for posts in a row. This is how to divide a country. You just hate white women and you are spreading hate.


PP was merely Whitmer's parents' background. But going further, I also don't think her MSU undergrad -- where was was president of a rah-rah "cleat chaser" sorority and a "communication" major -- and MSU law school are in any way indicative of much brainpower. I only say that because Kamala Harris's Howard and Hastings alma maters were disparaged earlier in the thread, noting it was odd that someone of high SES (and let's be honest, Black) attended such unimpressive schools. Well, the same should be said about Whitmer. Why did a rich white girl attend a basically open admit Tailgate State for undergrad and law school? And why has her only legislation to date in Michigan benefited... take a guess... dad's insurance industry? Just a coincidence, I'm sure.


Most people go to state school. Trump went to an Ivy League. Do you think that is better? We can’t be a country ruled by graduates of the Ivy League. Most students with a 4.0 today get rejected by the Ivy League. The smartest people in the world don’t go into politics. They try and cure diseases like cancer and they can’t even do that. If the pp finds Whitmer’s college and law school so unimpressive then they should support Trump.

Didn't know that. Gross, hate that Hardy kids can look out the window at the extra super-special private school kids playing. I only knew about Jack Evans' involvement.


Her son graduated, so technically fair game but who cares that his political views don’t match his parents’?


Who's the one with the son at Stanford? I recall there being loud whispers of someone "helping" her unqualified kid get into Stanford. Was that Rice or Loretta or maybe I'm misremembering?

Sure, but Univ. of Michigan is a much stronger college, both undergrad and law. And Whitmer's rich very connected father is a Univ. of Michigan alum. In the late 80s, Michigan State was the #1 party school in the nation. It was basically open admit, you went there to binge drink for 4 years. She didn't end up there by accident. It meant her grades were too low for dad to send her to Michigan and she was more interested in frat parties and dating jocks than hitting the books. Landing at MSU law all but proves that's exactly what her undergrad pastimes were.

Rice’s son graduated from Stanford this spring.

It’s not that their political views “don’t match.” He is an active Trump supporter who wants to “make America great again,” and got into a brawl at a pro-justice Kavanaugh event. It opens up Biden/Rice to attack when they can’t even convince one of their family members to vote for them.

Meh, he started at Fordham and transferred after his dad bought his way in and he cheated on the SAT. Not indicative of anything. And Harris likely got a great financial package from HU and was in-state for Hastings while Whitmar was in-state for MSU. Big deal.

Two connected rich gals hunting for financial aid... totally or quite obviously they just aren't very booky or all that academically inclined. And Kamala's sister went to Berkeley, which was far cheaper than private Howard (her Cal/Stanford sister is smart). Also, MSU and Michigan are cost neutral and both offer the Greek life thing. Unless you want to be a veterinarian, a rich UMich legacy only ends up at MSU because they want drunken toga parties and tailgates 7 days a week for 4 years and your ACT was in the toilet. You then end up at MSU law instead of Michigan because your LSAT was in the toilet. Any spin to the contrary is just comical.

You don’t know any of that. You are just projecting your school snobbery. Michigan State is a good school. Biden went to U of Delaware and Syracuse Law School. Has Delaware ever been a difficult school to get into? Why are you not trashing his schools. Trump, Jared and Ivanka all went to Ivy Leagues and that’s not working out so great for the country. HRC went to elite schools and no one cared when they went to the voting booth. Most swing states voters respect their state schools and none of those voters will think any less of her because she went to Michigan State. In fact most votes will be able to relate. Are you going to start a campaign to not have Biden as President because he went to Delaware? No- you just don’t like Whitmer because she is a white woman.

MSU is nowhere near as bad as you are making it out to be. MSU is also the more michigander school than Michigan. The rivalry between them is huge inside the state and is a classic city (Detroit = UMichigan) versus country (MSU) paradigm. MSU helps her more in that regard.

You have a lot of fake facts here - I’m not going to waste time correcting them. That said, she went to college in the 1990s - the GPA requirement at MSU was a 3.5 and she went to a very competitive high school. Grow up.

Harris went to Howard and not Berkely because she needed to be more "black" to get into politics. Similarly, Whitmer went to MSU because she needed to be more of a "michigander".

Neither is a bad school.

Whitmer did not grow up wealthy, actually. Just like Harris, she grew up middle class. That’s not a crime.

So you believe her rich insurance head honcho dad was grooming her for politics at age 17? Wow, talk about a long-game!

Her predecessor, Rick Snyder, is a Univ. of Michigan alum. As his Whitmer's Lt Gov.

And the gov. before Snyder was a Cal-Berkeley undergrad and Harvard law alum, born in freakin' Vancouver, Canada.

The next gov. if Whitmer is Biden's VP is likely to be the current Michigan Secretary of State, a Wellesley and Harvard law alum.
