The Voters
In my brief post-election blog, I said “the people have spoken.” Since then, I have been doing some thinking about those people. Who were they and what were they thinking? I gave you the numbers in Part 1.… read more

The Trump Effect
There is no doubt that former President Trump lost much of his following with his choices of midterm candidates, who failed to win, like Oz and Mastriano in Pennsylvania, Dixon in Michigan, Bolduc in New Hampshire and Blake in Arizona. And the jury is still out on Walker in Georgia.… read more

Regular readers know that I went out on a limb with my predictions in the midterms. Not since my “Kasich for President” post on May 30, 2015 was I so wrong. Crow is hard to swallow.
Today, the full results of candidates for the House are still not in, and we are awaiting a runoff between Senate candidates Walker and Warnock in Georgia on December 6, 2022, but the rumbling over former President Trump’s expected decision for 2024 already looms large, along with the future of the Republican Party.… read more
