Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Rumblings

 It's a small thing, but might oaks from small acorns grow. Yesterday, a Democrat won a state Senate seat in Pennsylvania. Trump won that district by 15%.

We have some special elections coming up. These are mostly in deep Red districts, but not so deep red that they can necessarily cover up a 15% swing. Winning either or ideally both of the special elections will wake up quite a few Republicans in the House and maybe even the Senate that while they have been worried about keeping their jobs safe from primary challenges, they should also worry about losing the general.
