Storytime. I'll post links in the comments.

Before being promoted to Border Patrol commander-at-large, he was responsible for commanding a bunch of raids in Los Angeles and Chicago, which yeah good job. But his promotion was more or less DC factionalism at its finest; it was Corey Lewandowski's suggestion to elevate him, where he operated outside of the traditional CBP structure and reported directly to Noem. The title of "commander-at-large of Border Patrol" was Corey and Noem's way of bypassing Miller and Homan, so they could have their own public-facing character to empower them in the face of all the power plays going on at the time.

For those who don't remember who Corey Lewandowski is, he's a massive fucking snake. He was in the middle of the Trump-Sessions drama and softly exiled from anything of consequence in Trump World after he bungled 'firing' Sessions. He's been trying to claw as much power as he can since getting booted. He cozied himself up to Noem in 2025 so he could find someone to parasitically climb to the top with.

Bovino was elected by Noem on a whim and he had a spot created just for himself, which already had internal opposition at the time. He effectively removed himself from the USCBP power structure entirely and was let free to do whatever he wanted. He didn't *actually* run Border Patrol, like a lot of people think he did; Lewandowski was. From an NBC article (I will post in comments:)

>"The exchange also aligned Bovino with the top aide to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski. After Minneapolis, Noem and Lewandowski are now taking a back seat to border czar Tom Homan and Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott — who have publicly advocated for a targeted approach."

>"Mr. Lyons said he was in charge, and I corrected him saying I report to Corey Lewandowski," Bovino said in the email. Lewandowski has been an unpaid special government employee since last February.

From a NYT article:

>"Mr. Lewandowski helped elevate Gregory Bovino, a midlevel U.S. Border Patrol leader, to a senior position commanding militarized deportation raids across the United States, three people familiar with Mr. Lewandowski’s actions said."

>"He was among the top officials alongside Ms. Noem involved in the process of approving government contracts, according to interviews and documents reviewed by The Times. He berated Immigration and Customs Enforcement leaders when their officers failed to meet daily arrest quotas set by the White House, flashing a quick temper that left officials across the department afraid that any perceived slight could cost them their jobs, according to people familiar with the episodes."

To give y'all a timeline:
>Noem and Lewandowski create a position with no power for Bovino within DHS
>This position conveniently allows them to ignore Homan/Miller/enforcement removal operations
>Trump is unaware of this entirely until Bovino shows up and someone is shot and dies in the Battle of Minneapolis, escalating the situation further (and you see morons like ACK!Intyre call for insurrection)
>Trump removes him once the situation is de-escalated and pending legal cases are dropped by Minneapolis and Chicago
>Noem is removed from DHS a month after all this happens

Plus, Nancy Mace has been pushing for a formal investigation into his conduct for his time while Noem was already embroiled in problems with DHS, made worse after the news about her husband came to light.

TLDR Bovino was a powerless figurehead and the snake known as Corey Lewandowski was abusing his role to undermine Trump and Miller's wishes. Articles linked below.

This tortured explanation for electing Amy Acton over Vivek Ramasmarmy (the GOP legislature will stop her!) is dumb because the experiment has already been tried. It's called Arizona.

In 2022, Democrat Katie Hobbs won the Arizona race and Democrats swept nearly every other statewide race. Arizona still has a Republican-controlled legislature. Doesn't matter. Hobbs and her allies in the executive branch have already done insane amounts of damage by curtailing in-person voting hours, established free busing for illegals arriving at the border to Tucson, vetoed a bill that would have banned sanctuary cities, and pursued a pro-crime agenda by trying to end the use of the death penalty. She regularly ignores judges and the GOP legislature can't or won't stop her. It's a miracle Trump even won the state back in 2024, and I'm wagering Hobbs will get reelected this year.

Amy Acton is not just a random Democrat; she was Mike DeWine's point girl for his Cuomo-tier COVID tyranny. Do you really think the Ohio legislature will pump the brakes on her in any meaningful way? It's absurd to claim that the Ohio GOP corruptly engineered Vivek Ramasmarmy's coronation and then claim said GOP will grow a spine facing a Democratic governor.

Vivek Ramasmarmy is a bad man who should be in prison. Ideally, he shouldn't be in this country. But he's a bad representative of a good party. Amy Acton is a good representative of a bad party. If she gets elected, she will turn Ohio into a hard-blue state, guaranteed. It'll become Minnesota with better food. She'll probably invite far more Indians than Vivek ever would, because guess what: she's a Democrat and the mass wave of Indian immigration we're dealing with WAS CAUSED BY JOE BIDEN.

Hold your nose and vote for Vivek. He's by far the least destructive option.

Lib-leaning media and pollsters will admit the math is next to impossible for Dems to hold the House and we STILL have people here who think we won't

[Dave Wasserman @Redistrict]

NEW @CookPolitical: 2026 mid-decade redistricting has yielded a House map that's more Republican and less elastic. We're out w/ our new PVI scores, and Dems now need to win 57 of 77 seats in the R+5 to D+5 range (74%) to win a House majority. https://t.co/DEZQLimSBL

Rahm Emanuel isn't officially in the 2028 presidential race — but he says he's thinking "really hard" about it.

He tells our @jmart why he’s considering a 2028 campaign and why he “wouldn’t want to be the frontrunner right now.”

BTW, the Republicans also restructure their primaries to coronate a preselected candidate. They did it in 2008 and 2012 (as mentioned below), they tried to do it in 2016, and they will do it in 2028 to pave the way for Trump's endorsed successor (most likely Vance).

Ever wonder why the Republican presidential field was so cartoonishly large in 2016? Basically every loser from the past 20 years suddenly showed up thinking they had a shot. This was intentional.

As early as 2013, the RNC began plotting to coronate Jeb Bush as the 2016 nominee. They were well aware that ¡Jeb! was unpopular among Republican voters, so they engineered the coronation via several methods:

1) Recruiting dummy candidates to split the votes in key races. George Pataki had no chance of winning the nomination, but he could siphon support from a challenger to ¡Jeb! in New York solely on name recognition. Same with Rick Perry in Texas, Lindsey Graham in South Carolina, and so on. Others were recruited for their appeal across multi-state demographics; Mike Huckabee could siphon support from a Christian conservative challenger, John Kasich from a moderate challenger, and so on. The goal was to enable ¡Jeb! to win primaries with as little as 25-35 percent of the vote with the remainder split between ten other candidates.

2) Changing delegate allocation in key states. Florida famously switched to a winner-take-all allocation in its primary. Florida being massive meant that all ¡Jeb! had to do was win with 30-35 percent and he'd take all of its 99 delegates. Other states switched to proportional representation based on congressional district, meaning that candidates had to not only win the statewide vote, they had to win the individual vote in each district, straining their resources. (In the New York primary, this resulted in John Kasich winning several delegates---despite losing the statewide popular vote to Trump by 35 points---because he won a congressional district in Manhattan and placed a close second in four other districts).

3) Strategically having dummy candidates withdraw after key points in the race, once ¡Jeb! no longer needed their services. Essentially a protracted version of what the DNC did in 2020.

The coronation of ¡Jeb! ultimately failed because the RNC prepared for the wrong threat. The coronation plan was intended to insulate ¡Jeb! from Christian conservative challengers like Mike Huckabee in 2008 and Rick Santorum in 2012. Trump was a complete wild card that upended the plan down to the deepest roots. His platform was widely appealing to both moderate and conservative Republicans and his charisma enabled him to turn ¡Jeb! into a punching bag.

There's a reason why Trump kept ¡Jeb! in his sights even after his polling declined to rock bottom. The system was designed to coronate ¡Jeb! Trump knew that ¡Jeb! was the primary threat and kept whaling on him until he pulled out of the race. At that point, Trump had more or less secured the nomination; the RNC attempted to scramble behind Rubio and later Cruz, but Trump had left the coronation plan in shambles and neither of them were able to fill ¡Jeb!'s shoes.

Political parties do not like long, drawn-out primaries. They don't like the idea of voters being able to pick nominees. They don't like candidates having to campaign against each other, spending resources that could be used for the general election. So they've spent considerable amounts of effort to steer primaries in the direction they want, to essentially nullify voter choice by handing structural advantages to their preferred nominees. The RNC has also done this at the state level; they pulled it off in Ohio in 2022, running a bunch of conservative candidates to split the vote and reelect Mike DeWine, and they nearly pulled it off in Pennsylvania where they recruited an insane fat black bitch to split the vote with Dr. Oz.

Trump's control over the RNC is absolute at this point. It took a decade, but he's now at a point where he can effortlessly get his candidates nominated. Just this season alone, he's scalped numerous inter-party rivals, from John Cornyn to Bill Cassidy to Thomas Massie. Others like Rick Jackson and Rand Paul have bent the knee to keep from winding up on his enemies' list. Whoever Trump endorses WILL be the 2028 nominee, and his allies in the RNC will immediately begin building that candidate an Astroglide-lubed path to victory while making any opponents crawl through barbed wire and broken glass.

If Trump endorses Vance, Vance will be the nominee and there is nothing you will be able to do to stop him. If he endorses Rubio, it will be Rubio. Insurgent candidates will either not run at all or end up dropping out within a couple of races. Ron DeSantis, for example, will likely not run at all (he performed poorly in 2024 and clearly got nagged by his wife into running in the first place).

For the Democrats' side, if you doubt Kamala will be THEIR 2028 nominee, name one person who will be able to upend the Democratic primary in the way Trump upended the 2016 Republican primary. Keep in mind that presidential candidates don't appear out of nowhere; Trump inserted himself into politics in 2011 when he hammered Obama over his birth certificate, rejoined the GOP in 2012, and was already giving speeches and making allies in the party before he went down the golden escalator. Name a potential Democratic nominee who has been making equivalent moves AND is capable of siphoning black support from Kamala. You can't because no such person exists.

President Vance, here we come.

Democrats are so unpopular in many states that they've had to resort to running their candidates as "independents." Seth Bodnar, the "independent" candidate in Montana, is a "former" Democrat. Other examples:

- Nebraska: "independent" Dan Osborn is the sole opponent to incumbent Republican senator Pete Ricketts. He also ran against Deb Fischer in 2024, where he lost.
- North Dakota: in 2022, "independent" Cara Mund was the sole opponent to Republican Kelly Armstrong in the House race. She ran as the angry white woman candidate mad over Roe v. Wade being overturned. She lost by 25 points. In 2024, she ran in the Republican primary and came in third with 20 percent of the vote.
- Alaska: prior to the advent of ranked-choice voting (a Democrat electoral manipulation method), Democrats had run their candidates as "independents" for several cycles. Democrat Alyse Galvin ran as an "independent" against Representative Don Young in 2018 and 2020 and Democrat Al Gross ran as an "independent" against Senator Dan Sullivan in 2020. In the 2014 gubernatorial race, the Democrats withdrew their candidate Byron Mallott and had him become the running mate of "independent" Bill Walker, who won.

Keep in mind that Democrats were fairly strong in these "red" states barely a decade ago. Nebraska had a Democratic senator until 2012, Alaska had one until 2014, North Dakota had one until 2018 (and held the entire congressional delegation until 2010), Montana had one until 2024. Now the Democratic brand is so utterly toxic in the heartland that Democrats have to lie about their partisan affiliations simply to have a ghost of a chance.

People need to accept that there is no Democratic comeback in the near future, not in the midterms, not in 2028, probably not until the 2030s. They are no longer a national party, but a regional party of the Northeast, West Coast, and Chicago. As it turns out, when you orient your entire platform around hating white people, the majority of voters (whites) want nothing to do with you.
