Oakley, Kansas (population 2,012) was Trump+68, if you want to know how this is going.

This should be the end of his remarks and Marshall's retreat. Probably the last town hall he'll do for a long time--except for his fundraisers in Florida.

I’ve been saying it since the KS GOP abortion bill failed. The growth of the KCKS burbs are filled with Dems. Marshall is vulnerable with the right candidate & the right environment w/a depressed rural vote. He’s not Moran and farmers are getting killed by Trump and the GOP canceling everything.

Would Davids be able to make a statewide run? Or should it be someone else?

I’m not sure. I wish she would, cause the burbs/cities would be fired up. But wouldn’t think so, lotta backwards thinking in the rurals.

Any Dem (light) will have to do something spectacular before running to get their support. Prob around USAID & renew energy generation to stop their bleeding.

Would think the path to any victory for a Dem in any purple or red state will be framing Dems are fighting against the billionaires. Showing & explaining the damage the GOP is letting happen and a path a realistic path out of this mess. Got to remember they’ve been media siloed. They’ll need time.

Which means Harris didn't earn a single vote there I guess?. Unbelievable.

Anecdotes aren’t data, obviously. I misread some moments like this leading up to 2024, too. But still, people are mad.

On the one hand, anecdotes are just that. On the other, the Democrats have stumbled into a coalition of high propensity voters that's tailored for mid-terms and off year elections.

His fundraisers will probably have the same reaction soon enough, as the economy there crashes due to Elon's sabotage.

I’ve been to Oakley, Kansas, and can concur https://bsky.app/profile/historicalmarker.bsky.social/post/3lgevu6vt5s2m

Unless the Democrats pivot to 1890s prairie Populism messaging, these voters will back this guy and other Republicans for years to come.

They don't care about our Veterans and it is shameful. Our Veterans deserve our support and respect. Arbitrary hatchet jobs on the federal workforce performing jobs that benefit the American people to provide tax cuts for the ultra wealthy is inexcusable.
