    They’ll win '26 in a landslide

    Don’t count on it.

    Not only are they world champions at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory 40 years or so running, but the GOP are more brazenly disregarding of democratic norms than they have been in decades if not centuries.

    With all of the voter suppression (including a high likelihood that they’ll have ICE trawling polling stations for brown people and dissidents to torture and deport) and malicious reinterpretation of the powers different state government bodies have over elections, anything resembling free and fair elections might be a thing of the past already.

    And then they’ll claim their Do Nothing strategy was vindicated

    THAT you’re right about, though. Regardless of what happens, the infallibility of their 1992 playbook will be their takeaway.
