that this sounds pretty good!
A rapid shift in Pennsylvania’s voter registration landscape has added to the Republican Party’s long-term momentum, as recent data show a notable weekly gain that continues to chip away at the Democratic edge built over decades in the key battleground state.
It ain’t over. But the battle is progressing well!
Joe Biden told us in a bald-faced lie that anyone admitted to the country would have been thoroughly vetted? Good times, good times…
But here’s the deal: Unless YOU get off your duff and go vote for Republicans next November, these “bad old days” are coming back! Evil never sleeps, and it’s up to us to be constantly wise and vigilant.
So make a decision RIGHT NOW that you are going to vote next November, and vote for good things. Your country needs you. Heavens, don’t sit this one out!
really back NAZI-tattoo guy?
If Democrats nominate Platner, they’ll hand Collins a gift-wrapped reelection by spending the entire campaign defending Nazi tattoos and Reddit posts instead of hammering her record. The question is, will they?
I do think the real problem here is that the most extreme voters determine the primary, but the final election campaign demands being palatable to the middle and even somewhat to the other side.
So primary voters may well look at Platner favorably, and see his past actions as not so big a deal–acting like an indulgent aunt. But the full election voters may not be so willing to turn a blind eye and make excuses for his extraordinarily nasty behavior.
please! There is nothing I would like more than having mayor Pete be the face of the Democrat party. He is a total loser. He simply cannot win. And most normal people rear like a shying stallion when faced with him.
Now of course, it will (sadly) never happen. African-American voters rightly loathe him and won’t vote for him. But it is a testament to how shallow the Democrat bench is that his name is even being bandied about. I mean, of course what we are seeing now is merely name recognition.
It would be easy to say that the Democrats are scraping the bottom of the barrel if any voters are taking Buttigieg seriously, but this is like there are infinite barrels they keep finding with new bottoms to scrape. The Dems’ bench doesn’t scare the GOP at all. Every name mentioned for 2028 is met with mockery and “Oh yeah, please run!” from this side of the aisle.
But the issue is that as of right now, there are no other hopefuls who are even possible. Maybe one will miraculously materialize, but anyone who is not already in the spotlight will likely never even sniff the Democrat nomination. The only potential candidates really are Pete Buttigieg, Gavin Newsom, and AOC. And none of those look very strong at all.
Who else is there? Maybe Josh Shapiro who is the governor of Pennsylvania, but that is a dog that don’t hunt. There is no way that the Muslims of Michigan will vote for him in any case–you think they are going to vote for a former IDF-volunteer Jew? SPOILER: they won’t DUH! And Democrats just cannot win without Michigan. So see ya, Josh!
quite entertaining. Right now I just don’t think that Democrats have a viable 2028 presidential candidate. There are a couple of obvious losers hanging around, but no one that is actually a threat.
I mean, who? Kamala Harris? “Hair” Newsom? AOC? None of those have an actual following other than in small enclaves. And none could run a national campaign with any approaching success.
I still don’t think that Newsom is going to be a viable candidate for the Dems in 2028, but, as Stephen writes in his column, I really hope he runs. Big Dem donors don’t like Harris anymore, but they will throw oodles of cash into the Gavin Newsom electoral money pit. If there is a better candidate with lower name recognition waiting to emerge, Newsom will be soaking up the donations that could be going to him or her.
… Things don’t get much better for the Democrats if they look outside of California for candidates. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is mentioned from time to time. Her claim to fame is that she had a slightly smaller body count of elderly people than Andrew Cuomo during COVID. Pete Buttigieg and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are also in the mix. It’s a perverse cornucopia of crap candidates over there.
on a limb, here. Gavin Newsom will NOT be the Democrat nominee for President in 2028.
Now I could be wrong, and Democrats have done stupider things before, but I just don’t think Newsom will prevail–though there are NO other options at present. And THAT is a powerful turn of events…
But Newsom is meat on the street. I am deeply skeptical that he could win. He would most likely carry CA, and virtually for sure HI and IL. But then what? Voter fraud, I guess, but people are much more on the lookout for that now, and there have been efforts to minimize that.
Vice President JD Vance handily defeated Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) across seven battleground states in a theoretical presidential election matchup, according to a poll exclusively obtained by Breitbart News.
be absolutely HUGE. If there can be no race-based gerrymandering of districts…
It is too good to hope for. And yet I can’t turn away!
Democrats still face an uphill battle. They need to net four seats to retake the majority, and most of the 2026 contests are in states that Republican President Donald Trump easily won last November.
seems inconceivable that Democrats would even consider going down this road! Why on this green earth would they do such a gobsmackingly stupid thing?
ANSWER: Because there is virtually no one else. Think about it–who else?
Gavin Newsom? Please, he would be savaged for his CA stupidity Besides, he is an oily fellow that no one, Left or Right, really trusts. Bernie Sanders? Oh, puh-leeze! Not even close.
Josh Shapiro? Well, he is certainly the most competent in the packet of Democrat clowns, but do you think that the Muslims in MI are going to vote for this former IDF volunteer? Yeah, no.
How about AOC? Well, the first thing is that she is as dumb as a sack of hair. But wait, there’s more! She is also a kook and on the extreme Left.
And of course, Kamala Harris has already lost BIG once. And everyone knows that she is an unpalatable loser.
OK, who else is there? Oh sure somebody will pop up. But just in name recognition alone they will be fighting a very uphill battle.
It’s true: Democrats could well harness the power of voter fraud in order to cruise to victory. But voter fraud is not all that dependable. And there is a big movement to attack voter fraud in general. So Democrats clearly shot their wad on the clearly fraudulent Joe Biden presidency.
see what happens. I’m not counting my chickens before they hatch!
Democrats are staring at a difficult path ahead of the 2026 Senate elections, as the first forecast from Cook Political Report shows Republicans with the edge to keep control and potentially flip two more Democratic seats while Democrats have no clear path to winning back the Senate.
Things will get clearer as we get closer.
