Monday night and campaign staffers are thinking what they would’ve done differently. Stop worrying. What’s done is done. The only thing you ingrates can do now is blame comms.

Here's a useful "Did Republicans do a Dummy-mander?" cheat sheet for next Tuesday.
If Democrats win any of these seats:
-NC-03
-FL-12
-FL-16
-FL-26
-TN-05 AND TN-09
then you can call it a dummymander.
Otherwise, Republicans will still have done themselves essentially no harm.
I warned that “gerrymandering didn’t work” would be one of the post-election takes if the GOP lost — but they are clearly going to win seats bc they gerrymandered.
No gerrymander and Dems probably net House seats in Texas. Now, they could elect a Senator, get 50% of the statewide vote, take back the RGV… and on net lose one seat, giving Rs a 26-12 advantage in the delegation.

Busy day in the city, much of it political including time spent at The Four Way. More to come.

Charlie Hatcher says it’s “not true” that he agrees with every Trump policy. Then he’s asked to name one disagreement.
“Not that I can think of.”
Marsha’s refusal to debate, even in her own primary, has been THE story of the TN governor's race.
She has smart, savvy team.
The fact that they decided that the negative press was STILL better than putting her onstage in front of voters is… revealing.
Vote blue, vote Green.

This election comes down to one question: do we keep electing the same people who got us into this mess, or do we send a new generation of leadership to Washington?
Tennesseans are footing the bill for tariffs, a reckless war and sweeping health care cuts.
