I see your point but may I please add? My front runner is Mark Kelly from the very git-go. From the moment he spoke up at the moment it was time to speak up he did so with grace and courage and pure truth. No one seems to remember but I do. Folks just keep thinking every election is like American Idol. That we need a charismatic star. And that is what media folks look for and then promote. I think this is from many years of reality TV game shows. For someone who never paid for or watched cable TV I see it differently. We don’t need a star. We need someone effective. We need people with expertise. It would be very helpful to the democracy if the promoters of people who have big audiences would please promote subject matter experts too. And profiles in courage types not just the cinematic types. I think we also forget that some folks are just naturally humble and just want to do their jobs and be effective. They do not care to self-promote or express and emote on social media. This is not to disparage AOC. She is the bomb and that is obvious. We are supremely lucky to have her sticking with us and working so hard for us. She has been great and very honest and courageous. I love her like mad. But for a general election I would say the racism and misogyny in the U.S. is very much underestimated. We have already seen evidence of this. Trump had help from Russia and the Americans too. Thank you, David, I am very grateful to be able to share what I think with you.
Karen, your absolutely correct, and the Media understans it completely! In simplistic terms, I call it the Jerry Springerization of the public. I haven't even owned a TV in over a decade now. Really only watched DVD movies prior.
Yeah. Springer. Exactly. You are so right. Good to have some kindred out there. The kids don’t know about the past because they think they are in a big hurry to go nowhere and that they are smarter than the average bear. I had this one illiterate chick at work tell me she had “computer skills” while showing her obvious disdain for me. I busted a gut. You mean pressing buttons? This poor sod could not even read, write or speak proper English. Long live the people who will continue to be an informed electorate. I blame the idiot parents not our public school system. It seems that the parents are on social media trying to quip and kvetch and sound intelligent in a big social pissing contest (or at the gym building their bodies) instead of helping the poor kids with their homework. Or can’t even be bothered to talk to them about things. Jasus. Thank you so much for reading, Glen. I apologize for the wind but I have a heavy heart. All the best.
Republicans are not yet allowed (by Trump) to consider a post Trump world.
Trump is still talking about 'winning' the 2028 election...
All non-Trump aligned Republicans are still in the minority, which is why Trump is able to keep Senators and Representatives (mostly) in line.
Polls are inherently flawed but they are much better than the 'prediciton markets' which are just another gambling game. Those with more money have an outsized impact on it, and people with that much 'disposable income' are not feeling the same things most voters are feeling.
Democrats are not talking about 2028 right now, because (at least the serious ones) they are focused on winning this 2026 election first. Plenty of timme after that to focus on who will lead the charge.
The true leaders are focused on building an agenda, and I think you will find that agenda is not the same one Chuck Schumer focuses on. it is much more agressive, much more focused on changing the system to crrect the major problems we have that allowed Trump to win in the first place (because people were desperate, and wealth had already corrupted the system).
They’re too busy trashing Dem candidates who are not mainstream middle. They better accept some progressive push because the people want a serious change. If they don’t take heed and embrace some progressive policies, they’ll lose again…even worse in 2028. Younger and oldie voter leaning farther left than the Schumer/Booker act.

We would like Mark Kelly
Thanks David.
Please find our what Patel’s trip to Russia was about.
Karolying Leavitt can’t take the heat now after her break from the chaos. She comes back to work and is like nope! Naha! Negative. Not gonna happen.
I’m sure she’ll find plenty of other evil ways to support the regime though. She’s not done yet. 🤮🤮
You have to wonder how her children will be raised. Her abilities of lying are at levels I'm disgusted with. Will she vaccinate them even?
