Why Trump and his party should heed the polling that shows them headed for disaster in the 2026 midterms. And the damage Gov. Jeff Landry continues inflicting on Louisiana's universities.
Thanks again for your detailed analysis. I make regular calls to my Representative Julia Letlow asking how she can continue to be in lock-step support on Mike Johnson’s “leadership” and Mr. Trump’s continued destructive, unprincipled, and cruel actions. Her staff members are polite and respectful, so I assume they put my calls on the tally sheet. I argue that we need to press our disagreement with the leadership of Johnson and Trump as often and in as many forms a possible within the borders of our Constitution. I also think that Rep. Letlow and others are complicit by supporting the current leaders in their failure to support the real interests of the American people, and by failing to protect the most vulnerable among us. Also, I now throw all fund raising mail from LSU in the trash can before even reading what is enclosed. We need to elect new leadership in the next round.
Thank you, Bob! I'm still hanging onto hope that Dems decisively take both houses of Congress in 2026! Even with this, there will be a lot of work to undo the damage and establish stronger guardrails after Trump is gone. Reliance on acceptable norms is no longer sufficient to assure ethical and moral behavior of elected officials.
Great Dispatch! Polls are very marketable and do serve some purpose. I agree with Kelly Ward. Our Constitution is the answer, the First Amendment re there shall no establishment of a Religion ....and the trumpites/jindalites/ landry$$ play to the "irreligious" religious, who think their religion is better than my religion and a great way to garner dark money and tax breaks. Johnson Landry Higgins are not "leaders". We We We the people are the leaders and our vote rules. thanks
We seem to be the minority here in our state - people who are aware of these polls and who care about what our country is and is becoming. Those oblivious appear to include Senator Cassidy who continues to cling tightly to President Trump's coat tails, not to mention Steve Scalise and Mike Johnson who are apparently pleasing in the eyes of their constituents as is Clay Higgins, who is vying for the prize of biggest buffoon in Congress.
Let's hope that the Epstein vote is a good omen to prevent Trump from becoming President for life. Trump did not want to leave the White House on Jan. 6, 2021, and he doesn't want the Democrats to take the House next year because he will be impeached again. And if the Democrats win the Senate, he will be convicted. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Bob, I wish you’d run for Senate!
thank you, Peachy. But I’m much too old!

Trump and his minions are destroying our country, and Landry is doing the same to Louisiana. Sad and sickening.

Excellent work as always!
