Would rather see “Ditch Mitch” Daniels as senator instead of Jim Banks. It’s the least of the two evils. With Mike Braun likely to win the governor’s race, things are going to be pretty ugly. I sure am glad my daughter has graduated from IU and our family has moved out of Indiana.

Mike Braun isn't a slam dunk to win the Governor's Office. Indiana is still a relatively close state during presidential years. The Indiana Ds need to get their act together though and that's probably not going to happen.

Totally agree about Jim Banks. He's the worst.

I went out to Indiana a for a job interview, thinking of relocating, and I had multiple friends be like "maybe buy a house in Michigan instead". Are things really that bad?

Well, speaking as someone who lived in Chicago, moved to NW Indiana and then back to Chicago…unless you are a republican, if you live in Indiana you have to be comfortable with the fact that you will have no representation. I used to express my concerns to Senator Braun who basically ignored me and other like minded people. Senator Young is a bit more reasonable. If Braun becomes Governor, all bets are off (the current republican governor is a normie, Braun is not).

I lived in two liberal leaning areas- Duneland Beach and Bloomington. That’s great for dealing with local issues. The problem is that you live in a small liberal area that is part of a big, ruby red state.

If your alternative is living in Michigan, I assume you are looking at jobs in NW Indiana. Let me know if I can answer any questions.
