One side would make war rather than condemn Nazis, and the other side would accept war rather than allow the Nazis to go uncondemned.
And so the war came.

NEW:
The campaign of now Senator-elect Annie Andrews received a poll in early October showing her with a three-point lead over Darline Graham.
But the Democrat's campaign decided against publicly releasing the poll — or any subsequent internal poll — showing Andrews with a lead over Graham, wary of drawing too much attention from national Republicans and jeopardizing a peak at the right time.
By the time Republicans noticed, it was too late to turn Graham's campaign around.

In 1998 Serena Williams competed in tennis’ “Battle of the Sexes” and lost to Karsten Braasch, a smoker, after he played golf and had two drinks.
You’ve never heard of Braasch bc he was the 203rd ranked man.

I don’t think the war itself was per se a mistake.
I think half-assing the war was a mistake. We started without a real strategy. We didn’t have enough missiles. We put it into limbo. That’s not on any of us. That’s on Trump and his team, who want to now blame shift to those who backed him up.
Getting rid of Iranian nukes is good. Doing it the way we did it was bad.
Someone in the Administration should lose their job over a botched war. Americans hate losers and we lost to a third world regime because of our own strategy.

Well, I don’t know, man, but looking back at that February 2025 Oval Office shitshow, some 20 months later, one guy from that meeting is bombing Moscow and St. Petersburg on a daily basis, another has suffered a spectacular failure in Iran and a crushing electoral defeat, and the third, the one with the big mouth, may well have kissed his presidential ambitions goodbye.
So, who had the cards?

This is cope: 760k net people moved to Texas since 2020
Even if EVERY SINGLE ONE voted Dem it would not account for the 1.2 million margin that Talarico is winning the state by
This was a *Texan* referendum on the entire GOP

Trump: “I’m making these midterms all about me. I’ll endorse all the candidates and we’ll even hold a convention in Texas starting me.”

Republicans take note:
Closing border - Good
Showboat roundups - Not good
Tax breaks - Good
Tariffs and trade wars - Not good
Eliminating nuclear threat - Good
MOU purgatory - Not good
Taking on cartels - Good
Kissing ass of Xi and Putin - Not good
Kicking ass with allies - Good
Alienating allies - Not good
Taking red dye out of food - Good
Allowing measles to return - Not good
Removing Maduro - Good
Making Canada an enemy - Not good
So many own goals to ruin otherwise winning strategies. Mostly the protectionist and isolationist ones.

Tariffs and ballrooms and caulking mall pools
Big marble arches encrusted with jewels
Renaming oceans and great lakes and streams
These are a few of my favorite things

To be fair, who would've thought that throwing your strongest supporters under the bus and then driving back and forth over them while yelling "hahaha who needs you" would lead to such a bad outcome for your party?

In the bluest state in the country, in the bluest tsunami you can imagine, Phil Scott still won. By being a pro-growth moderate. Aided by Democrats picking a candidate who is an anti-growth radical.
I am BEGGING both parties to learn from this!

I left Texas because it was becoming too woke. Many people are in denial that Texas is gradually becoming a blue state.

Liberation Day liberated a lot of Republican officeholders from their offices.

The Republicans were crushed in the 1974 midterms. Reagan later delivered a speech explaining why:
♦️ “The meaning of the last election will not be found among those who voted. It will be found among those who stayed home—the biggest non-voter bloc in our nation’s history. And why did they stay home? Well, because they said they couldn’t see any difference between the two parties.”♦️
There’s a lesson in that worth remembering. You can’t win voters by simply telling them how bad the other side is. You have to give them a compelling reason to vote for you. Stand for something. Be bold, unapologetically conservative, offer a clear contrast, and most importantly, deliver on the promises you campaigned on. Voters need to see a real difference, not just hear about one.

Tonight is terrible for my preferred policy outcomes but wonderful for our constitutional system.
Congress had a responsibility to keep the president in line. Congress utterly failed to do so.
So Congress gets thrown out by the people. And that’s wonderful.

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is TRUMP, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
