Who does a dynamic, flourishing economy help most?  Those just starting out?

Who does a dying, stagnating economic hurt most?  Those just starting out?

Who does high interest rates hurt the most?  Those hoping to buy their first car, first house?

Who is allegedly going to have to pay for all this excess spending?  The youngest voters among us?

If we had any kind of messaging at all ...  the table has never been set better for victory.

Nevada redder?

I dunno.

We see Repubs are slightly ahead pre election a lot, and then at the last minute the unions get all their housekeepers hotel clerks etc out in droves and win the day for  the marxists.

Reid was master at this.

Now he is gone it still seems to occur.

Funny little twist in politics, Black voters understand targeting.

They probably never read about IRS targeting (2012) but everyone can see the targeting of Trump.

Young voters keep leaning Left from their schooling, but somehow young black voters are emerging with the wisdom to question authority.  In this case the Big Left authority is telling them if you don't vote Democrat, "you ain't black".

Nice to hear people are wise enough to know how insulting that is.

Then there was (same guy), "They're (Republicans) gonna' put you'all back in CHAINS."

But instead black unemployment dropped to the lowest in history with real wage gains surging.  That was after candidate Trump challenged them, "What have you got to lose?"

The party that wanted the police disbanded faces the neighborhoods that are crying for police protection.
------------
Then you have roughly equal numbers of Muslim Americans and Jewish Americans all in the same party wanting opposite policies.  Good luck with that.

Biden approval 40%.  Harris latest approval 29%.  Hard to reverse that with drool spilling on the bully pulpit and fiscal time bombs starting to implode.

44 minutes of analysis I found helpful, from NH, SC and the Pres race to AI (AGI) to the border. Two very veteran reporters,  Ellis, Boston Globe, a Bush Sr. admirer. Klein of Time, Newsweek, I think a Clinton insider, wrote 'primary colors'.

Not my bias and I wouldn't send them money but good political insights when free.

Doug,
Seems to be paywalled.

I had no issue listening to this re paywalls.

Indeed, not my cup of tea, but more than a few bon mots. Heck, anyone that references the “boys on the bus*” along with an anecdote or two will gain my attention, at least to some degree. With that said, these two have certainly hung onto the coat tails of the MSM and political class and it shows.

A great read!

This could go several places, but given the range of political missteps discussed, I'll drop it in a more generic thread. The points made about LNG futures our allies own and now have to come up with a plan B for are worth mulling:

I've communicated with the author a couple times and think she is well worth following.

Love your ongoing efforts in thread coherency    but not a good fit here.

I would suggest Homeland and Energy Policy as better threads.

As always, when a piece merits, feel free to post it in more than one thread.   Witness for example my double posting just now of a George Friedman piece both in the FUBAR thread and the Iran thread.

Okay. The dual focus on the southern border and the LNG heavy handedness left me thinking threads focusing on either immigration OR energy would give short shrift to the subject not covered by the thread’s title.

Oh well, I’ll keep seeking to sort it out.

The term Politics could cover pretty much everything; I envision the thread more for the ongoing mudslinging, lying, and everyday maneuvers of the players in the political class.
