is really good news!
Republican hopeful Clay Fuller, a former prosecutor who did a stint in the Air National Guard, easily defeated retired Army brigadier general Shawn Harris in a closely watched special election contest.

certainly hope. But I’m not getting presumptuous! THAT is they path to crestfallen disappointment… I think we need to be careful, here.
Run through the tape, not to the tape!
The map is brutal for Democrats. Even in a scenario where Republicans hold only states Trump won by more than 10 points, the GOP still comes out ahead 51-49. Democrats would flip North Carolina and Maine, sure, but Ohio, Texas, and Alaska would stay red. Trump won all three by double digits…
the evil, cheating crap that Democrats will do. That’s who they are. And that’s what they are about. So I’m not taking this good news as something that is signed, sealed, and delivered. Still…
Here’s where it gets especially inconvenient for the Democrats. A full 52% of voters say the economy is better today than it was under Biden — up 5 points from January. 51% say the economy is strong right now, up 8 points since November 2025. And 36% say their personal financial situation has improved, up 4 points since November, with gains concentrated among Republicans, males, likely midterm voters, and urban voters aged 25-44.
But don’t get cocky and let the bastards win!
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!
