Desperate Democrat doomsayers probe for solution to 2030 demographic inevitability
Republicans know the interstate population trends suggest that time is on their side. Democrats have a reason to be concerned about what’s happening among the people themselves. They can’t kick Trump around forever, and the man himself appears as though he’s learned to manage the PR game as well. Democrats may look like they’re on offense, but they’re really running scared. An authentic realignment may not be happening, but good days are ahead.
‘Moderate’ Abigail Spanberger means tax hikes and greenie boondoggles for Virginia
If it’s worked right, Virginia can become the cautionary tale example of what happens when phony “moderate” Democrats gain office through deceits and distortions in a campaign. Virginians are paying the price; no reason the rest of the country must follow suit in 2026.
Why don’t Democrats trust ‘democracy’ to solve all our problems?
The middle group can be convinced to lean our way, but the only acceptable victory is to win at the ballot box. Voter integrity measures, get out the vote efforts and pure persuasion is the best way to guarantee that the right half prevails. As I’ve said a lot recently, the public relations battle must take precedence over pride and rhetoric. The purists may not like it, but we’re all populists now. It’s the best way to keep the common sense folks in a good place. And they’re the only ones who count anymore.
