If this year's election is any indication, I don't think you have to worry about the candidate so much for a state like Michigan.

I think this is right, but you want to HOLD Michigan longer term than just 2020. Yeah, the likes of Warren and Harris can win Michigan in 2020, but will they win it in 2024 if the Rs nominate a populist that ain't personally loathed by more than half the electorate?
Trump is loathed nationally but he hit the sweet spot for Macomb county, its hard to explain Macomb county to someone who isn't familiar with Michigan politics. But his antics are very similar to the long line of jackwagon mayors of Warren. And again Trump put in a lot of effort into the state of Michigan and Clinton treated it like she believed the hype about the Blue Wall.
I think Trump is a high floor/low ceiling guy that benefits from 30 years in the spotlight. I'm not sure you could find a populist politician that improves on Trump to the point where he isn't loathed but keeps all the good things Trumpers like.

Turkish media has begun leaking specific details of Khashoggi's recorded murder. They wouldn't be doing that if Erdogan hadn't given the go-ahead.
The Saudi journalist’s fingers were severed and he was later beheaded, according to details from audio recordings published in the Turkish media.
His killers were waiting when Jamal Khashoggi walked into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul

And, to be honest, I know that Times people know what a mouthpiece that particular newspaper is. They know everything in it is just nonsense Erdogan wants to spread. I don't think it's ethical for them to print that without characterizing the anonymous Turkish official and the known-mouthpiece newspaper.

Some are criticizing Trump over his statements on this matter so far.
Of course it's the same people that criticize everything he does.
I think that Trump is taking the right tact here. Like it or not we need the Saudis and not just because of the money. It would be foolish for Trump to point the finger without knowing for sure who was behind the killing. My assumption was that it was an underling of the Crown Prince, but even that doesn't mean MBS was involved or gave an order. The wait and see fact finding approach is the correct one.
