His use of the term "ideological clown" is somewhat ironic.

I'm more concerned with what Mike Johnson will do if the voters put him in the minority in the House. What type of games will he play on January 3, 2027?

In all fairness, not all of Trump's appointments were unqualified or unfit, which should be the basis to voting for or against. Or at least what one would think.

In all fairness, the Cuban community in South Florida have generally been supporters of the GOP.

The DNC needs to stop predetermining their Presidential candidates. They failed in both 2016 and 2024, and had to pull Joe out of retirement to win in 2020.

If the Democrats can actually get people to show up, this may work. Hitting on the economy is a good starting point. The chaos coming from the White House speaks for itself. For the fiscal conservatives, the continued deficit spending despite having control of both houses says a lot.

So they can find out who was in the area of missing pets, obviously. Modern day slave shackles. The only reason they aren't being detained and deported is because they ARE the labor force for local businesses.

Tom, this will be a litmus test for the progressive movement. If El-Sayed loses to a MAGA carpetbagger that lives in Floriduh it would be pretty on brand for the left. I truly hope he wins, but I completely see the points you make.

He polled a room full of folks wearing red hats. Seriously though, are his handlers feeding him fake polls so he doesn't realize how bad things really are?

Yep, very effective distraction. The side effect of making the economy worse and inflation adds to the distraction.

I knew of 5 people that died from COVID, 2 were senior citizens that passed during the first wave in 2020. The other 3 were in their early 50's, refused the vaccine, and died after a variety of vaccines and boosters were readily available.

He doesn't have the sole authority to do something like this anyway. It was just another empty promise.

After digesting the DSA platform there are a few things I agree with, universal healthcare, reforming increasingly militaristic law enforcement and improving education. Beyond that, a lot of it seems like a complete dismantling of our current system of government under the Constitution.

This was BEFORE he implemented tariffs and decided to start an undeclared war. And let's not forget his empty promises regarding Epstein files.

The concept of incremental change when faced with a serious threat is so foreign to some. Can we just let the pendulum stop for a moment in the middle and stop it from swinging?

I enjoyed watching this. I'll disagree that we will see a reasonable Republican leader in the near future. I'd anticipate a huge pendulum swing in 2028 as the far left uses the "anti-establishment" GOP playbook. Moderation is probably something we won't see until the end of our lifetimes.

I feel like a lot of independents and Democrats would be OK with someone like Romney right now.

I choose a Republican ballot in the primaries because Democrats never win in the general elections in my district. So whoever wins the GOP primary wins the office. And we have some real nut cases running. I'll let the actual Democrats deal with their issues in August.

I don't disagree that the message could have been clearer. It will be an interesting Dem primary here in MI. The issue I see here is electability in the general election, since I don't feel like outside of Detroit metro, GR, and Kalamazoo that Al Sayed will have much support.

I read this as him saying Platner should drop out but the Democrats should not have an establishment corporate shill forced upon them. I'm getting a little Kamala Harris PTSD right now, and we know how that turned out. And trust me, I didn't like Platner from the start.

The game was clearly rigged. We need a recount and an investigation into possible interference.

I'm not sure how the "progressives" overlooked how this guy worked as a paid mercenary for a company formerly known as Blackwater.
