Tuesday’s elections were another reminder that Donald Trump thinks big while voters think small. Call it macro versus micro.
Trump negotiates peace in the Middle East and wields tariffs against China; most Americans negotiate with the grocery store clerk and worry about rent. The disconnect helps explain why Republicans keep losing ‘potentially’ winnable races.
I say ‘potential’ because the big elections were in solid blue cities and states where the chances of a Republican victory were minuscule.

Republicans, at least the MAGA wing, focus on the big picture -- restoring America’s global strength and national sovereignty. Democrats, by contrast, concentrate on the details of daily life, selling themselves as protectors of entitlements, abortion rights, and government benefits. Most voters, struggling with the cost of living, tune out lofty talk about tariffs or foreign policy and focus on their wallets.
The GOP establishment isn’t helping.
Instead of advancing policy, it obsesses over social-media squabbles like how Erica Kirk and J.D. Vance hugged each other at the memorial service, what Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes discussed, or which influencer has turned against Candace Owens. While the base is ready for a revolution, the leadership seems stuck on gossip.
This week’s results made that clear. New York City elected a self-described proud “Democrat socialist” to lead the city. Blue states like New York, New Jersey, and Virginia elected or re-elected Democrats. California’s redistricting plan will likely erase what’s left of its Republican delegation.
None of this should shock anyone, as weak candidates in deep-blue states rarely win. But the down-ballot story tells more: voters approved higher taxes and new spending to fund a growing welfare state, even as cities crumble under crime and addiction.
Take Denver.
Voters there banned flavored tobacco after billionaire...

Democrats vote Democrat. Even dead Democrats vote Democrat.
Voters also have short memories. They are forgetting how bad things were under Biden and not thinking about how bad things would be if the Democrats got in again.
When President Trump wins, America triumphs...Sorry, Chuckie, Hakeem and Nancy, that’s about the sum of it. (Sucks to be you)
Perhaps this explains it but I think the real reason is VOTER FRAUD.
‘41 got Saddam out of Kuwait-90% approval. BJ’s response-worst economy in the last 50 years.
If JD wins in ‘28 I hope he bitch-slaps his opponents.
“The GOP establishment isn’t helping.”
↑↑↑ This entity has brought the US to its knees, for what now...50 years? Yep, 1/2 the uniparty got us $38 trillion in debt and third-worlders’ are already taking over our big cities.
I say ‘potential’ because the big elections were in solid blue cities and states where the chances of a Republican victory were minuscule.
This is the reason I’m not to worried about the outcome of this election.
Yes but the elections were held in VA, NJ, MN, etc. Blue states.
So what?
*too not to, typo.
Please.
Seriously though, people should recognize the mainstream media playing up Democrat wins in their personal Blue Hells for the morale-defeating tactic that it is. The sky won't fall because some Swiss Army butterknife of radicalism was elected to be mayor by a legion of idiots who deserve him.
The paths to destruction they've paved with bad choices will backfire. They'll beg Uncle Money for bailouts. We'll probably do it and they'll probably continue being idiots.
Rinse, repeat, buy new bottle of shampoo faster than you should.
Like I said, Democrats vote Democrat.
But the swing voters who might have been expected to be grateful for less inflation and lower taxes didn’t show up in New Jersey. Ciattarelli did worse than he did in 2021. Part of it may have been because women turned out for Sherrill, but voters do have short memories.
Trump voters are known for staying at home playing video games. Usually they'll only vote for Trump on the ballot and no one else.
That's the Achilles Heel of Trump's MAGA coalition.
