Very true. An unforeseen major event can turn the old apple cart upside down. The FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago was unforeseen event, at least by me. That led to Trump being a headline news star which completely switched the momentum of this year’s midterms away from the Republicans onto the Democrats. But it seems with Trump not the old headline news star for the last week or so, that momentum has slowed and possibly has reversed. Time will tell.

I always thought Rubio being fairly safe, but that’s not what the recent polls are showing. I hadn’t followed the governor races closely, just a glance now and then. I have read where Trump has told Republican donors not to donate anymore to DeSantis as he might challenge Trump for the 2024 presidential election. Another case of Trump being willing to throw another Republican under the bus for his own personal ends. He did that here in Georgia with the January 2021 senate runoffs.

Trump has made Kemp his enemy and seems to be helping Abrams, now Florida with DeSantis. Trump was the big reason the Republicans lost their two Georgia senate seats back in 2021. Trump choose the worst possible candidates for the general election in PA, OH, NC, AZ and perhaps a couple of more. A lot of his choices for governors played right into the Democrats hand. This guy is one huge asset for the Democrats. If I were a democrat, I’d want to keep this guy around forever and in front of the cameras as long as I could.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
