This is not the only reason to be sure.  Its a good indication that the rot is deep in GOP support.

There’s only one thing the Trumpublicans can do to stop a massive loss in November.

Yeah, it makes some sense. It’s a bummer. They’re not very bright, though, so, hopefully it backfires on them.

Which might save us

Politics makes strange bedfellows, very strange indeed. Here's Majorie Taylor Green. And for once? I believe her. Yes, very strange;

 

 

Of course, "friends" means "people who are useful to him".  Everything is transactional with him.    

It does sound fake, but she always sounds fake. As you said, she has said this stuff before though.

His friends are in the files and those friends have other dirt on him. If they go down  they expose him.

This is definitely another example of small ***** syndrome.  Trump has been sufferingbfrom it his whole life

Quote

President Donald Trump reportedly now wants his proposed “Independence Arch” in Washington, D.C., to soar 250 feet tall, more than twice the height of the Lincoln Memorial and towering over the White House.

Two people familiar with the matter, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told The Washington Post that Trump has grown attached to the larger-than-expected scale, viewing it as a symbol of national pride ahead of America’s 250th anniversary of independence this summer.

Trump has considered smaller versions of the arch, including 165-foot and 123-foot designs that he shared with supporters at a dinner last year. But he has favored the largest option, arguing that its size would leave a lasting impression on visitors to the capital.

I think the thing with MTG is that she is a true believer in a way that transcends Trump. She still believes that QAnon is real, that Democrats are evil baby-blood drinking monsters who are embedded deep into the Epstein rot, that there are Jewish space lasers, and more. But her true belief is not subject to Donald Trump's whims as it is with maybe, I don't know, 90 or 95% of the other people we regard in that camp as being "true believers". She was willing to completely break with Trump in support of her true belief. That makes her dangerous in a different and possibly worse way because she has a force of personality that has the potential to rally millions of crazy low- and no-information people to her cause. She can't do that today, obviously, but once Trump dies, those people are going to be looking for a new avatar, and I promise you they won't rally under the flag of Just Dumb Vance.

I don't think they will rally behind a woman either.

He'll never make it.  He's too dumb and wasteful.

Maybe not. Although they seem pretty comfortable with Noem calling shots. To be continued ...

I’d argue that it’s more Miller calling the shots.

but at least she has exhibited some concern for the people that should be the objects of concern for leaders in this episode, which is more than Trump has ever done.

She just an extension of Trump though.  If they rally around her, it's because of Trump.

that may all be true, and moving independents is the good first step, but there is still a limit to how much you an extrapolate when less than half the normal electorate shows up. It make sense that independents unhappy about the current trends showed up to register their displeasure, but that doesn't resolve whether you've moved enough the 200k that stayed home. And to be honest, it will be fine if Dems to win in 26 because of low GOP turnout. That's exactly how I expect them to win if they do. It seems to be the case in US politics that no-one ever changes their mind, they just gain or lose enthusiasm for their side and so either do or don't vote.

Dems have over performed every single election since Trump took over, even high turnout ones like Virginia and New Jersey. Leave it to Dems to always tell us why their successes aren't really successes.

their successes will be successes when they win control. Until then it's all hopium. Virginia is real. Trends in PA is good. Nothing has been proven yet in Tx or Fla or Ohio.

No political expert thinks the GOP will avoid a blowout in November 2026.   Unless Trump suddenly manufactures some event to jerk the rudder. 

Yet, I don't think more autocratic moves by him are going to endear him to the average voter though.  The idea of invading the Falklands looks good on paper when you think Maggie Thatcher's UK is old and busted and you have Alexander Haig and the extreme anti-communists in the US administration telling you to keep on keeping on with unpopular measures against domestic opponents...turns out you made one move too many at the end of the day.

I mean, you take control by flipping Trump +17 districts like this one which was literally in Texas. This is the left. Always find a way to dismiss Democrats success and wonder why approval for Dems is so low.
