AZ Senator Mark Kelly and Wife Gabby Giffords: Eloquent Advocates Face Right-wing Challenge from Blake Masters

Mark Kelly, a retired astronaut and a Democrat, won a special election to the US Senate from Arizona in 2020 with 51.2 percent of the vote, replacing war-hero John McCain, a Republican.

Trump’s Pollster Explained Why He Lost

Tony Fabrizio, Donald Trump's campaign pollster, in a 27-page campaign autopsy, explained why he lost, though Trump denied the facts and promoted lies to his naïve, gullible and cult-like supporters.

Trump’s Deranged Claims of Massive Voter Fraud Damage Democracy

It's a relief to see respectable conservatives swat down the breath-taking, blatant attempts of Donald Trump and his cult followers to subvert democracy via patently false claims of election fraud. "Trump's challenge is over," the conservative Wall Street Journal editorialized. "He has no legal alternatives and ought to concede." Bitterness as a political strategy rarely...

Trump Was A Bigger Socialist Than Obama-Biden

I could not understand the screams that Joe Biden is a "socialist" but Donald Trump is not.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrTKooYlfz8 Donald Trump hemorrhaged support from white voters, particularly men, in key states who found him dishonest, exhausting, and his management of the covid-19 pandemic a complete disaster, Trump's pollsters determined in exit polls and focus groups immediately following the election.

‘You’ll Be Back’, You’ll Regret This, He Proclaims. I Think Not!

"Our long national nightmare is over," as newly-sworn-in President Gerald Ford proclaimed in 1974 upon the resignation of Richard Nixon.

Political Destiny and Demographics

Republicans have lost the popular vote in every presidential election since 2000 except for 2004, when they almost lost the electoral college vote. This should teach them they have to broaden their base. If they dwell on the demographics of past elections or take certain groups for granted in a changing America, they are sure...

Wisconsin Goes for Biden, With Surge in Covid Cases

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufxt6uy0T-4 Joe won Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes by about 20,000 votes, flipping a state President Trump won in 2016, and winning it by more votes than Trump won it in 2016. Biden visited the state four times in the waning weeks of the campaign. Harris visited multiple times as well, as did Trump. Wisconsin was...
