So this happened yesterday: Glenn Youngkin, a wealthy first-time candidate who walked a line between his party’s Trump-centric base and appeals to business interests, won the Republican nomination for governor of Virginia on Monday. He heads into a general election in one of only two states choosing their governors in...

I like to study potential presidential nominees AND their running mates. I believed correctly Obama/Biden before President Obama picked Biden. I believed Biden/Harris….Long before Harris even dropped out of the primaries. I missed Clinton/Kaine. I always believed in Vice President Biden. I now believe without a shadow of a doubt the...
RNC Chair Ronna [formerly Romney] McDaniel and the Michigan Republican chair are trying more chicanery in Michigan today: they want certification put off until an audit is done. But under Michigan law, an audit can only be performed after the election is certified. RNC chair urges Michigan board to pause...
Trump has always been a loser, but is reaching the end even as he’s trying to keep the grift going. Remember that he began campaigning for 2020 right after his inauguration. This is no different. He simply hasn’t reached the “sale by” date. The path to the bunker has 72 days...
8pm ET join us as we celebrate with the victory speeches of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. x YouTube Video “Our democracy is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it, to guard it, and never take it for granted,” Harris opens with, quoting Rep. John Lewis. As...
Ronna Romney McDaniel’s plan to combine the RNC with the Trump campaign has backfired spectacularly. The money goes where Trump wants it to go, which is why millions were spent running ads in DC because Trump was tired of seeing ads attacking him. In the final weeks of the election, and...
The Trump campaign goes virtual and now may attempt a national address to get more free media even after spreading the Trump virus at a fundraiser Thursday. Contact tracing may go back to the Amy Coney Barrett SCOTUS nominee announcement as the super-spreader event, even as Hope Hicks specifically has been identified....
Trump won in 2016 by running an insurgency campaign. Hillary was the epitome of the liberal elite who had taken over government and were using it to make us pay reparations to Blacks, to make every woman get an abortion, to …. well, insert your own QAnon screed. Trump was...
Republicans and their amen corner in the right-wing media are trying to perpetuate yet another hoax on the American people. In a nutshell, they claim that history ended in 1865 or, at the latest, 1965. But sadly for them, three of their leading lights past and present—Cindy Hyde-Smith, Trent Lott...
Trump needs/wants the big crowds, because he doesn’t care about the chaos of infection spread, especially if he will appear to be in a downward spiral approaching November Third. Do Republicans deserve to be infected or is it more about their ability to infect others beyond Trumpists, especially since Trump prefers the...
Seeding 50,000 enthusiastic Republican voters with coronavirus and then sending them home to their Republican friends and loved ones sounds like a diabolical Democratic plan, but no. It’s the current roadmap for a Donald Trump 2020 reelection victory. These folks have already abandonded their dignity and their country to worship...
politicalwire.com Republican Party Chairperson Ronna McDaniel is self-quarantined after coming down with flu-like symptoms including a fever. She has been tested for coronavirus and is awaiting results. Results were negative when she was tested for strep and the flu. Last night, @GOPChairwoman 's doctor determined a test for COVID-19 was...
Matt Bevin is a corrupt Republican — redundant I know — who just keeps on giving, and giving, and giving. The latest: an “emergency” lease deal worth $41 million dollars to a private prison facility. On his final day in office, now former-Gov. Matt Bevin signed a 10-year, $41 million emergency lease...
There’s fewer people I have less respect for than Ronna Romney McDaniel. She is the epitome of what has become of the GOP: hypocritical, bigoted, financially reckless, and of course, completely submissive to Trump. How submissive? He literally instructed her to drop the “Romney” from her name—and she actually complied. ...
It’s hard to imagine what Ohio and Alabama might do for an encore. Reinstitute prima nocta? Public stonings for unmarried nonvirgins? Forced marriages of 13-year-old girls to Roy Moore or … James Woods? How much worse could it get? As it stands, they think an 11-year-old girl who gets raped by...
Sadly, an Air Force buddy I served with over 20 years ago is a huge Donald Trump fan today. He’s the complete package, down to the stupid red hat and wacky conspiracy theories. His immigrant attacks must have made things particularly awkward with his lovely wife, who immigrated from Mexico. (I actually...
I don’t know if this qualifies as a scoop or even new information, given that Trump once told former acting FBI director Andrew McCabe to ask his wife what it feels like to be a loser, but it does provide yet another terrifying glimpse into Trump’s hellscape of a psyche. The Daily...
GQ has a great piece out about the upcoming runoff election in Mississippi between U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R. MS) and Mike Espy (D. MS). The piece highlights her idiotic, racist dog whistling “lynch mob” remark and how that could hurt her. The piece also highlights the differences and similarities between...
Just to be specific, when I refer to Trump's “supporters” in the title, I'm not talking about the drooling morons who roll around on the floor at Trump rallies, speaking in “Trump tongues.” I'm talking about the more normal, “tired of the status quo,” voters who pulled a lever for...
Democrats are kicking royal a$$ in Tennessee. The Senate race isn’t even close right now: Former Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen (D) now has a 10-point lead over Rep. Marsha Blackburn. The Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) poll found that 45 percent of respondents would vote for Bredesen if the race...
