The country, shockingly, is "moderate".  Given two pretty unlikeable candidates, they voted for the guy who seemed "OK" to most of them, when he was in office.

Harris never resonated, I think, beyond the liberal base.  I guess this is obvious.  There will be a ton of analysis in the media to follow, like this one:

David Axelrod says racism, sexism partly to blame for Kamala Harris's loss (thehill.com)
David Axelrod says racism, sexism partly to blame for Kamala Harris's loss (thehill.com)
Axelrod got a black man into the highest office for 8 years.

But, OK. Racism.

Keep up with the divisiveness, Rod. Your guy was great at it.

I rarely pay him any attention, I find him predictable and just uninteresting.  Well, that's my opinion of most media "analysts" in my view.

The two guys I find amusing and occasionally worth reading are Karl Rove and James Carville.  I might tune in if someone had a show with the two of them.

Sigh.

Obviously, not the outcome I would preferred. Hopefully he ditches all of that “enemy within” bullshit and tries to lead like a grown-up who wants to unite folks.

Ideally, the economy, magic boy narrative comes to pass, and he doesn’t actually go through with all of those inflation heavy policies he talked up.

Not quite sure how to feel about the whole age/fitness thing having been sort of a big fib. Maybe a Cope. But I suppose that is what it is and that’s politics.
Trump says a lot of things he’s not serious about. 

The age/fitness thing, are you referring to Trump or Biden.

I think/hope some folks learn whoever is President doesn't mean that much, usually, in their daily affairs.

To the first part, I’m well aware. But it does make it a little funky to try to track what changes might be coming.

Did the second part, basically both? A whole bunch of noise was made about how an old doddering 
man with that job was a problem. But ultimately, a lot of people who are making that noise voted for an old doddering man. At a certain point makes me think, this is less about that particular thing, and that is just sort of a means to an end of the party they want running things. 

And that’s fine, but it just meant that all of those words didn’t really mean anything. They meant “I don’t want someone from that party running things.”

I was at the Texas marching band state competition all day yesterday and into the night, anything interesting happen?

In other news, my kids' marching band won State.  So that's cool!


That is some fine work by young tee and his friends

Some of them have not learned a thing.

I think he's been pretty clear on his intentions.  Whether or not he's successful, or can even possibly have a chance at being successful, remains to be seen.  But it's clear he wants to put stronger controls on illegal immigration, he wants to influence the end of wars in Ukraine and Israel/Palestine, and he wants a "better economy" whatever that might mean.  And I also expect him to attempt to continue some of his policy from the first term, like being stronger on incenting/forcing further decoupling of American manufacturing from Chinese state-controlled firms.

All of that is a pretty focused platform, whether you agree with the intent or not.  And again, I'm not sure how successful he'll be at any of it, but that's where I expect him to try to go with this next presidency.

His own party solved that problem for him with a coup. They all knew what he was, and so did you.

Trump is too old, IMO, but he's not senile and frail and he doesn't need a teleprompter at all times.

Big difference.

How about

Nobody over 70 can run. Nobody over 74 can serve.

This was a feature, not a bug.

I got nothing today. Be nice to everyone. Protect those in need of protection. And get rest.

I would add to that some kind of reduction in the Federal workforce, he may try and eliminate some cabinet departments.

And of course, he wants to usurp total control of government and eliminate Democrats in Congress and SCOTUS ...
