This is just an excellently reasoned and logical piece. You've presented the context clearly and made rational arguments clear. Too bad your reasonableness stands out like it does in the midst of so much craziness happening now......

There will certainly be huge political fallout for the Democratic party and their liberal, woke agenda, but the longevity of that Republican/conservative win will directly correlate to the efficacy of the solutions we implement. Forget 1980 or 1994, my butt is still chapped from the wins we handed Republicans in 2010, 2012, and 2014 with little or nothing to show for it. If we are not EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, we risk losing all the momentum the Dems have handed us.

I agree that getting Herschel across the finish line will be a difficult task, indeed. After the primary, the knives will come out. The Warnock team will run an endless barrage of ads about Walker's past confrontations with police, his theatening to kill his wife, concerns about his mental health and possibly, even signs of CTE. Name recognition, bulldog nation and the Trump endorsement should allow him to lap the field in the primary. Then, it's into the lion's den, where I fear he must become Samson or be eaten alive.

We said Brandon was a Trojan horse and it turns out he was - not to spirit progressives in to power, but to undermine the entire Democrat party. GO JOE BIDEN!

The Reagan era was before the Trilateral Commission really got underway. It just had started about 6 years before. We had MOSTLY honest voting back then. NOW it is not only underway, it and the Council on Foreign Relations are in control of the Nation and we will NOT have another honest vote.

As for Senate, I vote for McCormick.

I don't think the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations, the World Economic Forum, the Build-a-Burgers, or any other outside entity is underway nor do we have a one world government. I've been hearing that for years and see no evidence of it. What I see is the contamination of expert group think, which those perpetuate. But that does not make them in charge and would kindly ask that you stop blaming the world's problems on them. I'm happy to refund your subscription.

Erik, have you read the Bible where the first four seals are opened and then thought about what is going on today? I have. Does it make you think about maybe the end times? It does me. And what kind of government do we need in the world at that time? The Bible tells us that as well. I would like to send you a copy of an email I sent to Dr. Dobson today but I don't want it all on your web site, so will not do that.

It will be interesting to see what you think after this coming election.

Erik - genuinely asking: why is McCormick a better choice than Barnette? Is it because you think McCormick is more likely to win in November, or that he would make a better Senator? You think we don't have enough hedge fund managers in the Senate?!

Not asking for a friend - asking for me!

I think McCormick has less history of incendiary comments the left can use to vilify him. He's easier to get over the finish line because he's boring. My heart is with Kathy. My head is with David.

What about Jeff Bartos? No chance he can pull this off?

If he could get the nomination, he'd be better than Oz, but he's barely registering.
