4. What we've seen so far regarding Republicans' "strategy"...
Mon May 4, 2026, 11:36 AM

...is that they're running on "Come ON, folks, you CAN'T elect Democrats."

Mike Johnson pooting out nonsense about Republicans being "the adults in the room," which is why we need to keep them in power.

Rubio can't straddle the fence between the MAGAts and "Reagan Republicans."

He's got to either go all in for one extreme or another.

And yeah...he's "not Vance" and he's "not Trump" and that could very well work in his favor.

I think the only way he could gain serious traction would be to admit Trump's failures and clearly outline what he'd do to fix them, which he OBVIOUSLY CANNOT DO if he's looking for MAGAt votes.
