I got lucky and ended up working in the Senate for 21 years, including 2 majority leaders and one of the greatest legislators in the history of that body. So called “democratic strategist”

I seem to recall that one of the GOP's main criticisms of Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal was that he betrayed the Afghan allies and didn't allow enough of them to come to the US. They shouldn't be allowed to forget that.

More like stephen miller. He is calling the shots and I assume wrote the so called speech
Trump's speech about the shooting in DC veered into him attacking the Somali community in Minnesota, which of course had nothing to do with the shooting. Gives away his bigoted game.

Trump’s efforts to end the war in Ukraine look more like a pendulum than a peace process, “swinging between the Russian and Ukrainian positions, with occasional stops in the middle to express frustration over the whole affair,” Simon Shuster reports:
Inside Trump’s Latest Push for Peace in Ukraine
The most consistent thing about Trump’s 10-month search for an end to the war in Ukraine has been his inconsistency.

And the economy. Almost no one is better off, and many are worried. There are a lot of reasons to turn against Trump. And at some point the masses are finally going to catch on that he lies constantly about literally everything, and that will break through, too.
The shutdown, the Epstein files, and his unhinged attacks on decorated heroes whom he wants to see hanged for treason didn’t help.
