Chris, Did you forget 2022? Trumpism proved able to win primaries but it lost almost across the board in general elections. Kari Lake. Dr Oz, Herschel Walker, Blake Masters. Governor candidates in MI, MA, MD, PA, IL, etc. Traditional Republicans like Mike DeWine, Brian Kemp, and Chris Sununu won big while MAGA types ran way behind. I'd be careful about proclaiming the MAGA movement a winning movement for the GOP. Primaries yes, Generals not so much.

South Carolina and Florida are pretty damn Republican. If Mace or Gaetz is the nominee, they will win.

Andy Beshear would like a word with you.

Andy Beshear and Ruben Gallego should be the first ticket Dems think of or aspire to in 2028. That ticket checks a whole lot of boxes.

Gotta start running people who win in areas and with voters that typically don't vote Dem.

In 2027-28 you will see about 25 Dems wanting to be POTUS, just like in 2019-20. Why so many? Because they know they will win. The two you mentioned will be in that class photo.

Biggs would lose in Arizona and a MAGA type that might challenge Tillis would lose in NC (think Mark Robinson and Dan Bishop).
