You know who's a "total squish?" The current GOP leader who spent like a drunken sailor, ran up debt, imposed tariffs, nationalized business, undermined NATO, cozied up to Putin, was staggeringly corrupt, and behaved like a coarse playboy.
But sure, go off on Romney. How gutsy.

Bad policy, bad character make bad politics: erratic tariffs, impulsive Iran war, blanket pardons, apparent corruption, weaponized justice, ICE brutality, mountainous deficits, hiding Epstein, abandoning allies and coddling enemies. Hoping for a course correction, for the country and for my party.

The last two elections have made me hopeful. Maybe that’s weird but it’s true. If you do dumb shit the median voter does not like that and will kick you out. This great American experiment of ours seems to be working fine. Onward.

Turns out closing message about men’s asses and golf course renovation didn’t pan out

You wanted Cornyn gone.
You wanted Ernst gone.
You wanted Collins gone.
You wanted Tillis gone.
You wanted Graham gone.
You got your wishes, right-populists.

Losing in Texas, Kansas, South Carolina... MAGA is over. – at Brookmont, MD

Texas had a Senator, John Cornyn, who voted like 98% conservative. He had a history of winning his races by large margins. But online influencers and podcasters knew better and primaried him with Paxton. And now not only will Republicans lose a Senate seat, they may lose the governorship. Absolutely foolish. If you care about good, conservative policy, you should care about having candidates that can appeal to a large enough constituency so they can win.

Sure, Darline Graham is going to lose in South Carolina. But think about all the important things that Donald Trump achieved by endorsing her.

I think we can safely put the “swing voters don’t exist” theory in the ground where it has long belonged

Very early, but I'm starting to think we won't all be getting $5000 checks.
