Matt Gaetz is sitting next to Lauren Boebert

How to turn Texas blue once and for all.

Get the cities of Dallas, Houston, and Austin to build more housing. Build tall apartment complexes. Make the cities more densely populated. Build housing to attract young people and young families from across the nation. Once you've got bigger and bigger cities, you will get more and more progressive-minded people.

In sum, out-populate the rural areas of Texas. Once done, Democrats would control 3 out of the big 4 states giving them the ability to control congress. I think that this could work.

So, who will be Trump's new VP?

According to YouGov, Republicans top choices are DeSantis, Cruz, Carson, Ramaswamy, or Scott.

My guess is that he will select a female. I will say that it will be Kristi Noem. If they win, we may have the first ever VP sue the President for sexual harassment.

Who do you think it will be?

Tired of all of the fretting over the polls.

First, Trump (or any other Republican for that matter) will always have a ~50% chance of winning the election. American politics are polarized, and there's nothing that any Democratic president can do to change that.

Second, no other Democrat would have any better polling numbers than Biden, an incumbent president, not VP Harris, not Governors Newsome or Whitmer, not Senator Amy Klobuchar, not even Sen. Bernie Sanders. No one else.

Third, polls measure what the people tell the pollsters. They cannot predict who will/won't show up on election day when it matters. Polls in modern presidential politics are largely useless. (See my first point). For all of 2019 and up to election day, RCP average polls showed Biden with a consistent 6% to 7% lead. He won by 4.4%, and even then it was a nail biter until results were finalized in PA, MI, and WI.

Finally, energy would be put to much better use getting Democrats across the board elected to office. The polls are what they are.

Disney World Has Gotten Too Expensive

Why do some media outlets desperately need a Trump victory? Simple: money.

Legacy TV news media is dying a very fast death. There was a time not so long ago when the three evening news anchors were household names. I'm 60, and I can name them, Tom Brokaw (NBC), Peter Jennings (ABC), and Dan Rather (CBS). Today, I know Lester Holt and have no idea of who's on the other channels.

Many of the current anchors on TV receive enormous salaries based on what anchors made years ago. Some of these anchors are getting paid like pro athletes and top movie stars without any of the name recognition. Yet, most people (esp. young people) have no idea who some of these anchors are. Hence, this is why they need Trump. He brings in ratings for them.

They see Trump as their salvation.

Failed Son, Donald Jr., demands to pick new Republican Senate Leader

Next Senate Republican Leader will 100% be a Trump puppet.

Not to say that Mitch McConnell was a profile in courage in standing up to Trump, but the next leader will be a Trump sycophant for sure.
