But we're well on our way to remaking legislative bodies both large and small across the nation.
And we will capture several executive offices as well.
Political dynasties were never a part of our founding fathers vision. Good people giving up their time to go to Washington and then, a few years later, returning to their regular lives was the intention.

I believe you’re right. The leftist media, pollsters, social media, politicians will beat the same drum about doubt will take the house and senate in November.
This is designed to tamp down enthusiasm, donations for republican candidates. It’s called the “silly season” in political circles. Lots of false reports will circulate regarding races.
Trump was the best president in history. But given the reality of communist control aren’t we supporting rose colored glasses?
Meghan McCain has been hiding out in mourning.
The Democrats haven’t given up on political dynasties. Name recognition is a major draw for their voters. The fall of Republican dynasties may have more to do with those old families going over to the Democrats.
The work has just begun and it’s going to outlive all of us. Lots of battles ahead

“Political dynasties were never a part of our founding fathers vision.”
You’re correct but they WERE expected, especially by say, John Adams.
In Massachusetts there were the Cabots and the Lodges (and then the Cabot Lodges), the Quincys, the Saltonstalls, the Kennedys and the Adamses.
Virginia had the Lees. New York had the Livingstons, the Clintons (George and DeWitt, not Bill and Hillary), and the Cuomos. Ohio had the Tafts. And there were smaller local families.
Aristocracy was anticipated and provided for. But democracies don’t last long in America, a few generations tops. We don’t have lords and baronies. The people tire of the same names running for office.
This little thingamabob will prevent the anti-social behavior in your headline:
“But democracies don’t last long in America”
Meant to type “but aristocracies don’t last long in Anerica”
The amount of positive Trump VS negative Biden, especially young people, is staggering and encouraging.
I agree. Nicely written by the way.
“94 percent of Trump’s endorsed candidates have won their primaries so far in 2022”
Evidence there is still some sanity afoot.
And #5, how did you get a photo of my sister? She promised she would remain incognito.
What I was about to type. Let’s not count the chickens prior to hatching, makes people complacent.
Lots of Senate cleaning to do
McConnell, Thune, Barrasso, Blunt, Ernst, Scott, Scott, Lee, Crapo, Grassley, Shelby, Murkowski, Sullivan, Boozman, Rubio, Risch, Young, Braun, Moran, Cassidy, Collins, Hyde-Smith, Daines, Fischer, Sasse, Burr, Tillis, Hoeven, Cramer, Portman, Inhofe, Lankford, Toomey, Grahamnesty, Rounds, Cornyn, Romney, Capito, Lummis are all Bush League Republicans.
Then there are the 145 Bush Leaguers in the House that voted for Liz Cheney in Feb 20201.
Good one!
Yes, time to take out the trash.
“After 55 years, January 20th, 2023 will mark the first time since 1967 that no members of the Cheney, Clinton, McCain, or Bush family will hold elected or appointed office in the federal government of the United States of America.”

Good. The last thing we need is the return to hereditary dynasties of ruling elites.
