The ultimate shrewdness is found not in the balance sheet, but in the qualitative excellence of the business.

Looks like many Americans are finding that "red line" after all...
"Democrat Taylor Rehmet won a special election for the Texas state Senate on Saturday, flipping a reliably Republican district that President Donald Trump won by 17 points in 2024."
"Rehmet, a labor union leader and veteran, easily defeated Republican Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist, in the Fort Worth-area district. With almost all votes counted, Rehmet had a comfortable lead of more than 14 percentage points."
"Trump posted about the race on his social media platform earlier Saturday, urging voters to get out to support Wambsganss. He called her a successful entrepreneur and “an incredible supporter” of his Make America Great Again movement."
"Democratic candidates also have won special elections in Kentucky and Iowa."

If my math is correct, that’s a 31 point swing in a conservative Texas district.
Who knew that Americans don’t like a “swaggering, overbearing, tin-plated dictator with delusions of godhood”?

Yes Sir!
Taylor Rehmet just flipped a district that hasn’t sent a Democrat to the legislature in 36 years!...
This race was such a massive swing blowout that Democrat Taylor Rehmet literally won a city called White Settlement!

If this impresses you all......
Maybe you people can catch up to me after 2 years of writing about Andy Beshear - Kentucky Governor, a Democrat who won that state and then got re-elected, AND increased his vote in the reddest countries in Kentucky.
But - I won't hold my breath ;)
Also.....just like NJ and Va ---the guy's campaign was NOT about "he/him"...it was about, money.
He must have read my posts.

Good News!
America still has a pulse.
Democrat And Union Man Taylor Rehmet defeats Pro-Oligarch Republican Leigh Wambsganss, executive at Patriot Mobile, despite being outspent 10 to 1 by his MAGA-backed opponent.
"Campaign finance reports showed Rehmet spent a little over $70,000 between Jan. 1-21, while Wambsganss spent more than $736,278 during that period."
"My very good friend, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, needs a strong conservative Republican in SD-9 to KEEP TEXAS RED!" Trump posted of his support for Wambsganss on Truth Social.

Catch up? You are so far behind you don't even realized you have been lapped.

Only think ignorant Fox viewers think most Democratic campaigns about he/him. For example, Harris had a whole host of policies that were about money, justice, fairness, helping the working class, etc. Yet the fact that she was also accepting of those who had gender identity issues was the only thing that made it on to Fox.
Get better sources of information and maybe you will lose your irrational hatred of liberals and people might actually laugh less.
