Isn’t Kentucky a pickup opportunity for MAGA in 2026?

The pubs need to switch focus onto the next elections. Often the incumbent party loses seats in the off election - we can’t afford that, we need pickups.

We need a few more seats in the House in 2026.

It's happened before and it can happen again, especially in the current political climate. Don't surrender yet.

If they run a candidate that has some testicles they can win. I haven’t seen a strong Republican for any office here in years. The whole country got to see what a waste of skin Walz is. This is the time to put up a good fight.

I liked him when he was young. Not so much now. Maybe he can retire MAGA and w/ some dignity. I doubt it though.

I know that Scott Presler already is hard on the 2026 elections, and hope that other groups like Turning Point, are as active as they were in 2024.

We can’t afford to lose anything. If we could gain 5 - 10 seats that would be Heaven. Trump could have an effective four full years.

For the first time in decades the majority of Americans feel we’re ‘on the right track’...

It’s a good Trump sign.

AND most Americans don’t approve of putting Tampax dispensers in boy’s bathrooms - - unlike Minnesota’s former democrat Governor.

We can take these seats.

We need a full court press effort to make upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court seat Republican or they will gerrymandering two US House seats away to Dems in 2026.
Not a false alarm. It’s a 5 alarm fire level alert.

I hope I’m wrong. One way to win would be to take measures to ensure secure, valid elections. Doing that, we’d be more than halfway there.

If Trump and DOGE complete the job of dismantling Fed.gov’s corrupt NGO funding networks, via USAID, Dept. of Education, etc... - then Democrats will lose a key cog in their election buying and manipulation machinery.

If Trump can further expose and eliminate corruption, particularly on voter rolls and mail-in ballots, then the Democrats will absolutely get destroyed in 2026.

Have any on the ground suggestions?

I remember wasting my time in MN based on the grifters’ fraudulent “ORCA” system which was supposed to make the difference in Romney vs. 0moeba, before Romney took a dive in the 2nd debate.

I don’t want to be played for a sucker into losing my time in a futile-effort-by-design again.

We’re working on trying to get Michele Tafoya (Sunday Night Football), and Liz Collin (Alpha News) to make a run at it.
Either one would be a stellar candidate, with plenty of local name recognition, and both very talented.
