Fair point. But TPUSA has also gone beyond Trump. When Trump endorsed Karrin Taylor Robson, the org didn't accept his decision. TPUSA backed Paxton in TX strong from the start, while Trump followed with an endorsement late in the primary.
I’m going to (sorta) defend Turning Point here:
All the Republicans attacking TPUSA are doing so because they STILL don’t have the courage to do what’s actually necessary and stand up to the President and his unprecedented corruption, lack of focus, and reckless foreign policy.
TPUSA is Trump. It’s wild to go after an organization and still genuflect to Trump
The Arizona political operators blaming the "national environment" for Republican losses are the same ones who spent the last 10 years turning the GOP into a fan club for a reality-show celebrity from Queens, New York.

“The new right in America wants to supplant the Reaganite right and the traditional conservatism…. To do so, those on the new right have not moved further right in their categorical thinking, they have moved decidedly left. The new right is identitarian … antiliberal … socialist.”
Every word of this from @JonahDispatch
resonates with me. Read it all.

As @JonahDispatch points out, the new right populist types are left-wingers in spirit. They like big government, they use leftist rhetoric, and they are reckless in disregarding constitutional principles. thedispatch.com/newsletter/g…

Yeah, there will be no pivot to the center. This is what you get when you have an 80-year-old president who doesn't really gaf about the future of the Republican Party.
The GOP desperately needs to rebrand to be competitive by 2028 but the president and his loyalists will not want that to happen. Infighting seems inevitable, the question is whether the party can be reformed.

This was one of the replies to @votewarren post. Unless there is some kind of groundswell of conservative pushback against the MAGA crowd, there will be hardly any opposition party left to challenge the Dems in '28 and beyond.

Warren, we MUST inspect this election. The numbers make NO sense in AZ, Texas, Kansas, Mississippi and many other places. We can’t keep ignoring this election fraud or we will lose our republic. Don’t you agree??

Nobody is attacking conservatives.
They are attacking populist-nationalists who allowed the GOP to become a big government cult of personality.
It’s brainlessly easy to attack other conservatives today.
Good leaders will find ways to put the spotlight on all the commies, trannies and jihadis who won this week.
There should be moments provided by Democrats every week to dunk on them and Conservatives should be ready rather than fight themselves.

NEW: A Dispatch editorial on the end of Trumpism.

The hubris here is off the charts.
Tom Horne is the greatest threat to school choice & the ESA program in Arizona.
Tone Horne will lose to the Democrat in the 2026 general election.
Arizona needs a strong, pro-school choice candidate for this very important office.
I’m working on identifying that candidate now.

It's a shame that America doesn't have a conservative political party – at Grand Rapids, MI
Maybe he's going there to ask nicely for the president to end the war and reduce the tariffs.
Andy Biggs will join Donald Trump at his Arizona rally, while another Republican in a close race is staying away. azcentral.com/story/news/pol…

We should not be using robots to grade student writing. Bad incentives all around.
Thousands of STAAR reading results improved after humans rescored students’ written answers. Most of the initial grading was done by an automated engine. Via @TexasTribune buff.ly/iSC7JlT

2. Teaching. For high-stakes test, teachers will train students to pass the test. If we use robots to grade writing, the robots will use predictable tendencies. Thus, teachers will train students to write poorly - but in a way that demonstrates patterns that robots can detect.
