Dare I infer that consumers are beginning to get a clue ?If I were in control, my headline for this one would have been "Consumer Confidence Sinks to Lowest Level Since the Last Time America was Stupid Enough to Put Donald Trump in the White House."
Consumer confidence sank 7.9 points in April to a reading of 86, the Conference Board said in its latest survey released Tuesday. That’s the lowest level since May 2020 and a larger decline than economists had projected. The survey’s Expectations Index, which captures people’s outlook on the economy, plummeted 12.5 points this month to 54.4, the lowest level in 13 years.
Meanwhile, the share of Americans anticipating a recession in the year ahead climbed to a two-year high, the survey showed. Trump’s tariffs were “on top of consumers’ minds,” according to their write-in responses.

That will only matter if rural residents either stay at home on election day or actually vote for something other than a Republican candidate for pretty much every office on the ballot. And unfortunately, however disappointed a growing number of these people may be in Dear Leader, they'd still vote for him again if they could, and will almost certainly continue to vote straight ticket Republican. Democrats are simply anathema to most rural people right now.![]()
Donald Trump's approval rating collapses with rural Americans
Rural voters have long been a cornerstone of Trump's base, and any slippage in their support could have major implications for future Republican success.www.newsweek.com
wtfIs this quote about Trump or Belicheck?
maybe a blue wave in the House in 2026 similar to 2018 ?So basically the nostalgia voters now realizing "Oh crap...I forgot that he was really bad 5-8 years ago"
Especially if Sherrod Brown runs for Vance’s Ohio seat. He’s a known centrist, is popular in Ohio, and barely lost with Trump on the ballot.maybe a blue wave in the House in 2026 similar to 2018 ?
maybe pick off a few GQP Senate seats... ?
Tillis ?
concerned Susan Collins ?
Rubio's seat ?
Vance's seat ?
phony Joni Ernst ?
I don’t see Florida going blue for a long time. Tillis and Collins are vulnerable, however.maybe a blue wave in the House in 2026 similar to 2018 ?

On the other hand, you miss 100% of the balls you don’t try to kick. Dems should take some swings.
