Here's a perfect illustration of our contention that Benedict Donald is weak, not strong. Ditto the state of his party.
Not only did Trump behave like a child in New York civil court today, but the GOP suffered another electoral loss this week: A Florida state house district in Orlando flipped from red to blue in a special election. In case that seems trivial to you, bear in mind that the Democratic candidate, Tom Keen, was outspent two-to-one in a ruby-red district. Take it from us, Florida Republicans would much rather have kept this seat.
It's another example of Democrats outperforming expectations, especially since Dobbs. In 2023 alone, Democrats won mayors' races in Colorado Springs and Jacksonville and a crucial State Supreme Court race in Wisconsin. The six-week abortion ban in Ohio and the 15-week abortion ban in Virginia have crashed and burned. Judgeships matter. Elections matter.
As one of our favorite Democratic strategists says, "The fundamental problem Republicans face in 2024 is that their Presidential candidate and party are more unattractive than they've ever been. It's an unprecedented basket of awfulness." We cats agree, and we PURR.
