We're the elections rigged? I have serious doubts about the so called blue wave. We all know California elections are totally rigged. No one does anything about it. What about Texas? Am I to believe the odd turnout for a total freak case winning a Senate race and Governorship? If we don't make certain elections are fair-it won't matter who runs for office. My ticket: Rubio-DeSantis.
Senator now Governor Marsha Blackburn should be on your list of candidates for the Presidential bench. She is tough, smart, experienced and can work with Democrats. (She has much more experience than Governor Sanders.)
"....the disastrous results Tuesday night opened the gates to a lot more potential GOP candidates...." Before VP Vance brought out his list of four requirements to 'gain back' voters was published, I thought he probably was the run away leader to be nominated the GOP pick to be the next 'Leader of the (not so) FREE World. Not so much now, at least for me, considering his 4th requirement that America should "Change our relationship with Israel." Change it in what dimension? Why would we change much of anything, especially "our relationship," with the ONE and only BEST ally we have in the Middle East, and possibly the best ally anywhere in the industrialized world?
We were denied access to our own bases by our "friends and allies" in Europe when we requested such in the Iran exercise! With "friends" like those, who needs enemies? President Trump requiring those milky toast, faux friends, to ramp up their 'own defenses' was way past due, and bringing thousands of our American troops home will bring about joy in those households!

It's interesting how US Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), the outgoing chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee and a former 2024 presidential candidate, has fallen off the radar screen.
There is a huge advantage on our side. President Trump has been training successors. Democrats have not -- so the Dems have been reduced to mostly post-retirement hangers-on, and young upstarts who have no loyalty to the elder party (that, IMO, is how the DSA takeover really happened).
For 2028 we need to present a united front. Pick ONE presidential candidate, so we don't have a gaggle of infighting that discourages conservative voters. The obvious winning ticket is Rubio and DeSantis, with a promise to keep President Trump's highly effective cabinet otherwise intact.
But Vance has burned his bridges with this past week's statements. More people voted GOP than ever before, which gives the lie to any claim that we were so annoyed with the "war" that we all voted for Democrats. No, JD, we did no such thing.
Yet somehow Democrats grew 19 million voters from the air?? Texas sure as hell did not *uniformly* shift blue. We need to purge the voter rolls and start over. The best suggestion I've seen was that this should be done after every Presidential election, so we start fresh every four years. We also need a return to paper ballots hand-counted day-of-only, because we have no control over what happens inside an electronic black box, or what arrives as "mail-in ballots" and disappears into Stalin's Counting House.

I believe EVERY county in Texas went Blue. That raises questions in my mind.

The more someone values their freedom over their life, the more likely they are to be free.
Also it is Waaaay to early to say Who Is and Who Isn't Leading/Running.
Next Up The Kiddie Table (Democrat Bench).

DeSantis in 2028… he's the only option to save our Republic and the GOP after a decade of Trump and his minions 🙄
