In December of 2009 the results of the most consequential special election of the decade were transmitted from a rebellious bunch of misfits who shook the political elite to Washington DC. Republican Scott Brown was elected to take the “Kennedy Seat” in Massachusetts in an epic battle that surprised both the Democrat and Republican establishment.
The DC political class (both parties) were shook, triggered, jaw-dropped & aghast… A revolt was visible.
It wasn’t just the Democrats who reacted, organized and responded with the urgency of a 2012 counter-offensive. The rebellious threat from the working class was as much abhorred by the Republican political class, the Bushes, McCains and McConnells who saw the Tea Party uprising as toxic to their control.
The working-class uprising, the originating assembly of what is now the MAGA movement represented in that Massachusetts winter special election had to be destroyed, and that was why the Tea Party movement had to be co-opted and destroyed by the Republican party. From their professionally Republican perspective, including the billionaire and Wall Street donors who try to influence the club platform, there are no limits to what they will do to retain control, nothing is out-of-bounds.
That’s why we saw the GOPe primary ‘splitter strategy‘ first deployed to scale in 2012. Romney was installed as the nominee, and gleefully the GOPe watched as he was defeated by Obama’s reelection bid in November. The status-quo was achieved. The DC UniParty was repaired, and all things were back under club control. Two wings of the same UniParty once again giving the illusion of choice.
For those of us who fully understood what was done, and by that time our 2013 ranks were more significant, it became crystal clear the ‘first-things-first’ approach would require the Republican political elite to be removed and confronted first – before the communists in the left wing of the UniParty could be attacked. We needed a weapon against them….
…..ENTER Donald John Trump.

I agree, and now that our weapon has been honed and TEMPERED in the furnace of DC's corrupt Plutocracy... it is ready to cut thru the heart of our Constitutions enemies... in the seat of their power.. the administrative state, Congress, and corrupt judicial powers ruling under the color of law.
The establishment, rinos and demonrats alike, always had a problem with President Donald J. Trump, who prevailed anyway, because he has the support of the large majority of people. The midterms showed that as well. Trump's candidates all won except for a handful if people. Nobody in the history of the USA has such an amazing record. Trump is a real winner. He is getting better and better. He'll sweep 2024 for sure.
If Trump picked DeSantis as his running mate, we would have an even more unbeatable dream team. I am sure that DeSantis will be happy to sign on with Trump, since Trump is DeSantis' mentor. Trump 2024!
We need a Trump / DeSantis ticket in 24.
That would be UNdefeatable!!!
