I think the lesson is that if you want to win, you need to target stupid people with the kinds of stupid ideas that they like. And put them in the stupid places they congregate, online and off.

It would help to buy a bunch of media outlets and have billionaires on your team (by supporting policies that will make them more money), because they can buy up the media and then amplify any kind of nonsense you want.

This is the "when they go low, we go lower" that people are clamoring for and may be the only way to win future elections.

For the record, I wasn't really surprised either.

Really surprised the article didn't mention Gaza or genocide.

You would probably get a feeling of déjà vu.

All the polls suggest it was driven by the economy. Inflation is quite moderate right now, but the prices stay high, so that's got to be on everyone's mind.

People around here think it's all manner of things except what voters are actually saying.

I wrote that Biden dropping out of the race would be a big mistake. My "I told you so" is worth about as much as yours.

Trump had a Republican majority in the House and Senate when he entered office in 2017. They were incompetent, and it took them a while to get anything done.

Uh... Do they have clinical trial data showing this is safe and effective? Would you post a guide on how to use a coat hanger if you came across one?

Both times Trump won the nomination and ran against women, he won. The only time he ran against a man, he lost.

Clearly the Democrats should avoid nominating women until the electorate is ready for one.
