-Yup, the glass ceiling is intact but probably for less longer than we think. After people go through TrumpHellTM, buyer's remorse will quickly set in.
-I don't know about Shapiro. Maybe he would have carried Pennsylvania and maybe not. What were Biden's numbers in the Commonwealth before he bowed out? Not very good I suspect but I won't be looking it up.
-No question it was a mistake for Biden to serve or run for more than one term. Biden basically broke his word before turning the screws forced him out. But Yes, it likely was too late.
-Agreed on Israel. Democrats failed that morality test because they couldn't stomach the idea of reinforcing Netanyahu, even indirectly. Big mistake.
-Isolationalism is nothing new. It reared its ugly head during WWI and WWII. Polling reflected that. But for Pearl Harbor, (Remember German night at Madison Square Garden in the late 30s? It was a NAZI rally.) Hitler would have won. On tariffs: when you explain tariffs, people are against them, mostly. When you don't people are for them. The Democrats didn't properly address tariffs. Sure, they will spur inflation but nothing like money creation which is coming. Remember Trump's cheques during the pandemic? That was and the next round of cheques will be massively inflationary.
-Border: the Dems broke it and then did not fix it...
-Yup, conservatives are on the march but how much of that is based on conservatism and how much on anti-incumbency? Now, there's the rub.
-Whites, as usual felt ignored. So, it was fatal but what about what AP said? 13.2 million Democrats did not bother to vote! If that's accurate, how does that break down in the Rust Belt?
-Great speech by a guy with one hell of a lot of guts.
-We can debate whether Pierre is hard-right. I don't think he is. Bernier is hard-right.
-As far as I know, no one up here saw a Trump win coming. I certainly didn't. But your gut DID even if your brain did not. So...your gut is still damned good and your guiding star.
