I think what really has these people shaken is that the sitting House majority leader and future Speaker of the House was toppled by some dude who financed his campaign with less money than he would have spent on a decent mid-sized SUV.

The whole idea of a "professional political class" should be unraveling here in the U.S., and I think leftists have the most to fear from that.

I think Bridenstine was the last guy to win with a budget of 200,000.

Exactly. And that’s a good thing. BOTH sides’ career politicians should be worried.

Even if Brat turns out not to be so hot, it’s still a win for the American people.

What’s cool about your insight is this: There are rare moments these days when you can feel idealism isn’t naiveté; rather it matters. Today is such a day.
