Democrats just flipped the Miami mayorship from đ„đđŠ.
The last time democrats won Miami was 1998.
Republicans are completely squandering all of the work we did to win the 2024 elections.
Itâs especially frustrating as democrats are raising taxes in New Jersey & Pennsylvania.

These elections are being lost because people who voted for Trump are too damn lazy to get off their butts and go vote in the polls to elect Republicans who will help Trump’s agenda. So instead, virulently anti-Trump Democrats are winning these elections because of the Trump supporters who stayed home.
That’s just basic math.
********************
I see it the same way.
Also, some studies are showing that many people that didn’t vote in 2024, would’ve voted for Trump.
There’s a lot of potential voters out there.
Probably all the New Yorkers who have left âŠ
Susie Wiles: Trump Will Campaign for 2026 Midterms âLike Itâs 2024 Again'
I wouldn't be surprised if PDJT47 had 2026 planned awhile back.
Israel is seeking a new 20-year avalanche of US tax dollars.
Itâs new billion tax dollar pipe dream....âa security agreementâ.....
calculatedly aligning itself with Trumpâs âAmerica Firstâ policy.
Cue laugh machine.
Includes redirecting military aid tax dollars to âjoint US-Israeli research and development projects,â such as missile defense and AI, aimed at providing long-term tax dollar assurances for Me-First Israel.
Key components of the proposed 20-year security agreement:
Extended duration: The proposed agreement would last 20 years, a significant increase in tax dollars from the standard 10-year term, with the goal of providing long-term strategic assurance.
This would “coincide” with Israelâs plans for a centennial celebrations in 2048......
would cost them plenty. Thus a source of funds was “dreamed up” to soak US taxpayers.
Everything you said is so true. I'm 78, and glad I'm on the tail-end of my life. I just hope I'm gone before this country is completely turned into a third-world shit hole.
I don't see it that way at all. Trump pulled a lot of "former" Democrats to MAGA, by appealing to union types, who also like protection from a big strong protectionist government. That's just not the traditional Republican message, nor does it appear Trump is going to be able to change the Party's ultimate direction. So a lot of "Trumpers" may even be voting Democrat when he's not on the ballot.
That is a lot of words.
We have gotten very good at ballot chasing in National Elections. We need to start doing it in local Elections.
Some good news, all polls are showing about a 3 point bounce back for President Trump. Showing you are focusing on the Economy helps.
Yeah, get rid of the filibuster and gutless Republicans won't do a damn thing with it.
And then the Democrats will regain power and use it like a nuclear bomb.
I don’t think you can measure what happened with Trump to other elections. He is a celebrity, with 100% name recognition. A former Democrat, for decades, who pulled many of them to vote for him as a Republican. Forget any talk about ballot chasing, he brought in voters with pure magnetism. So powerful that the traditional Republican Party has just handed him the reigns for better, and worse at times. But he and he alone currently has everything to do with how the party is doing.
And yet you were unable to refiute even one.
Fair point - I actually agree with you. But it still leads to the same conclusion - It's not RINOs sabotaging Trump's desire to win these off-peak elections. It's his own supporters.
Scott has been great at chasing voters online PA, and it payed off big time on 2024. What happened this year CAN’T happen again. We need to show up in EVERY Election from now on.
Look on the bright side. At least we can afford to buy eggs again.
Thanks BCC. I don’t have the answers for where this is heading, but I think I see the recent past pretty clear. Republicans have been riding on Trump’s magnetism, and embellishments for a decade now, but the party appears to be coming to a close. It will be interesting to see if more honest, folksy talk from the likes of Vance and DeSantis etc can replace it.
Getting out and showing effort is good, and it is helping. But, I do agree that VP Vance is more strategic than Preaident Trump.I’m sure that he qull be deployed in 1026 also.
I can only sympathize with Presler. He did yeoman work in Pennsylvania for Trump in 2024 and had a lot to do with delivering that state for Trump. And in return, he gets the Congressional GOP squandering Trump’s second term. The GOP Establishment is incredibly frustrating for all of us, but for guys like Presler who’ve made Republican victory their life’s work, it must be infuriating.
I think you have hit the nail on the head.
âRepublicans want to lose they hate Trump and whom he stands for. What he stands for. Yepâ
âI think you have hit the nail on the headâ
Donât doubt it.
Looks like Miami elected an AWFL. The classic look.
