The competition has become fierce between the Democratic leadership and President Trump. Both are doing their best to estrange themselves from the country’s voters. The bottom line, according to my lights, is that the president is winning this contest in the number of people he leaves disappointed, dismayed, and simply pissed in the wake of his daily pronouncements. But let’s start with the Democrats before returning to our fearless leader.
The Democratic National Committee recently completed a post-mortem study of how and why they lost the 2024 election. They interviewed over 300 party strategists and heavyweights from whom to assemble their conclusion. Everyone, especially the Democrat workers in the vineyards, was looking forward to the DNC’s release of the results which would guide preparations for the 2026 primaries. Instead we got the announcement that the DNC will not reveal what they learned from their closed-door discussions. Massive disappointments all around.
Listening to the rightwing media, all one could hear was puzzlement from their reporters and sage commentators as to why the report would not be published. I found it hard to believe that these keen observers of our political landscape could not draw the obvious conclusion about the DNC’s reticence. The Democrat mavens did not conclude that their 2024 campaigns were poorly run, or underfunded, or misdirected to wrong voter blocks. Any of those tactical mis-machinations would have been readily disseminated to their rank-and-file election workers.
However, what their mavens did discover and the DNC would never admit was that enough of the wrong message had leaked out to sufficiently tip the balance in the Republicans’ favor. What the Democrat insiders are not yet prepared to admit is that they are neo-Marxists and proto-communists with the objective to ‘fundamentally transform’ America into a socialist-and-beyond state. With what they have learned, from the much publicized yet isolated recent victories of their socialist candidates, is that it is not yet the time to start selling the collectivist utopia (‘this time we’ll do it right’), let alone revealing it to be their prime political objective for the United States.
Now back to our fearless leader. From the evidence it is easy to acknowledge that Donald Trump has accomplished more for the country in, yes, ten months than any president before him. His economic, social, and foreign policies have borne unexpected fruits. These governance ‘victories’ would speak for themselves if only the administration’s focus would continue to highlight them with citations of the ample evidence readily available from the government’s own sources and the reports/accolades from foreign leaders.
But that is not to be. Our president’s character and temperament drives him to continually snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. His mouth does it all – 24/7. Over the years someone must surely have told him that he is not naturally a loved or lovable character. We surmise that long ago he learned being brash and braggadocio is the best way to portray and project his strength. No doubt in the private sector, such as urban real estate deal making, such modus operandi have proved to be an asset, but unfortunately not so in politics and the public sector.
So, as we head into the 2026 primaries President Trump continues daily to supply the Democrats and their media mouthpieces all the ammo needed to cover up their deeply disappointing record of governance and their ongoing void in public policy proposals that would attract the thinking voter. For the light thinkers and those who don’t pay attention the polls continue to confirm that proclaiming their TDS symptoms is sufficient to prevail in the political arena.
