There’s MAGA greatness in numbers for J.D. and Usha Vance’s growing family
We can hope that Vice President J.D. Vance and Usha will take the opportunity from their good fortune through smart life choices to encourage people to raise more children. The challenges and expenses involved with child-rearing won’t cease, but Republicans can use the Vance example to promote the revival of the family as a salient part of the MAGA mission. It’ll be fun to watch, won’t it?
To Trump and Republicans this year, winning the public relations war is everything
The mystery is whether Trump will rouse the MAGA masses while asking them to show up and vote for someone other than himself. It won’t be an easy task, but altering his pitch methods and public relations strategies in the coming months will make all the difference. “Winning” depends on play-calling as well as the personnel on the field. Will President Trump realize it before it’s too late?
GOPers shouldn’t relax, but it’s not time to sweat over this year’s midterms… yet
Both sides will spin and spin and spin some more, which leaves it up to the American people to assess what’s happening and base their “right track/wrong track” judgments on the facts. The success or failure of Trump’s second term hinges on Republicans keeping control of Congress, or at least holding a tie in the Senate. Will it happen? Time will tell. But McKenna is right – it’s not the occasion to panic either way — yet.
