For MAGA a Trump affair would prove his virility and toughness.

One of the architects of supply-side economics was Kemp acolyte Bruce Bartlett. The instant he realized the theory was a failure in practice he renounced it. For this he was exiled from conservative politics for life. Conservatism is never wrong, it can only be wronged.

About 70% of the U.S. economy runs on consumer spending. But as wealth concentrates at the top, the richest 10% can’t spend enough to sustain it — while everyone else can’t afford to. Reminder that trickle-down economics simply doesn’t make sense. It’s a hoax.

For the last 10 years "I don't want to talk about politics" "Let's not go there" etc etc are defacto admissions of either Trump support or Trump vote.

By itself, Trump's failure to win over allies won't hurt him with his base. In fact, it'll probably help him. During the Iraq War, the GOP base praised Bush as a hero for putting together a "coalition of the willing" *and* enjoyed hating France and Germany for staying uninvolved ("Axis of Weasels").

I wonder if the fact that the US Supreme Court recently ruled that AI generated works are not copyrightable, and thus the entire profit just evaporated, might have been a little bearing on this decision.

There is also this. Maine will likely elect a Republican governor. Mills is 78 years old. It would be good to see Dem primary voters think strategically for once.

Related, Dem voters who care about outcomes (over purity) could be looking at polling versus Collins and say "sure he may be a nazi but he flips a senate seat to the D column".

To be clear: the SAVE Act does not simply require the identification voting ALREADY requires. It demands proof of CITIZENSHIP— a birth certificate with a name that matches yours now (bye, bye, married women), or a passport— both of which are expensive and take a long time to obtain.
