The Mighty Quinn

Notice how Fishback aligns himself with DeSantis. We never got the full story about @ChristinaPushaw’s “relationship” with Fishback but we do know Fishback is a creation of Team DeSantis. This is the biggest open secret in Florida circles. Literally everyone in Tallahassee knows this to be true. The constant flirtation with the Woke Reich while pretending he isn’t is one reason why I could probably never bring myself to support a DeSantis Presidential campaign even if *sometimes* he does make good points. He didn’t learn his lesson from 2024. Just way too many Woke Reich connections. Zero accountability. Constant evasion. Right now, a Democrat would win in 2028. Massie. Fishback. Both are Team DeSantis. No thanks.

LMFAOOOO. 💀 Ron DeSantis saw Republicans get absolutely DEMOLISHED in the midterms and thought, “You know what America needs? ME AGAIN.” 🤡 America already swiped left, Ron. Stop making new profiles. 😭

NEW: President Trump announces that the U.S. will host the biggest air show in the world within the next two years. Trump vows to make America's show "bigger" and "grander" than the Paris Air Show. "It won't even be close," Trump says, explaining that the massive showcase will feature everything from commercial aviation to space exploration.

JD Vance is not to be trusted. Vance is not the future of the Republican Party.

I voted for Romney but not enthusiastically. In hindsight I wish I had left it blank. Total squish.

The plan trusters like Will Chamberlain are going to pivot and say we should end the war. Ted Cruz is already. Meanwhile, there is a pivot to Ron DeSantis, who is being rehabilitated as America First. But don't forget that these people supported the idea of the Iran war. Ron DeSantis also supported the Ukraine war in 2024. They can say they don't like how Trump’s Iran war was carried out, as John Bolton has been doing, but like Ben Shapiro, their criticisms are that Trump didn’t finish the job earlier. The panicans were right. Don't forget who is who.

I stand with President Trump. Regardless everything.

It's dangerous to go alone! Take this 🇺🇸

Ron DeSantis was the biggest winner last night. I hope he runs.

The fraud is beginning to surface and it’s only the 5th. Don’t get too comfortable Democrats…

One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up. So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us." Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026. There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true. But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone. Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were: 1) End the war 2) Focus on cost of living/inflation 3) Put America First 4) Change our relationship to Israel Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.) In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you. The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night. If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest. But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there. I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

Today would be a good day for the party to begin turning away from JD Vance.
