Political commentary by me, no charge for added snark. Ex-GOP. My Adjectives: Libertarian-Leaning. Conservative. Snarky.

The best thing for the GOP would be for Dems to take this win as a mandate for their social policies instead of financial.

That would be the worst for us, but good for the Republicans come 2028.

Evidence of cheating is NOT
- Not liking the outcome
- Not believing the outcome
- Getting an unexpected outcome.

Unless there is direct evidence, of actual cheating not some chart of graph, then buck up and do better.

[Scott Link @scottlinkpol]

Oh no, GOP, don’t do this.

(That tweet can apply to so many things…)

Is this real? Why is he focused on the building and not the nation?

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: President Trump by stroke of pen signs proclamation protecting the Oval Office from ever being demolished

"It will not be allowed to be touched by anybody, destroyed, ripped down by stupid people, in order to build something in a slightly different shape. We like the Oval Office." 🇺🇸

"We're declaring it a National Monument, send it over to Congress and ratify it."

"VERY important place. The biggest people come through...and they're in this room, and they can't believe it."

I'm glad the White House is not only being upgraded but preserved

ALL future presidents should appreciate this!

Dear Politicians and Pundits out with these long posts about why the election went the way it did,

Where were you 6 month ago when this “wisdom” could have changed things?

[Scott Link @scottlinkpol]

Just saying this out loud, I’d like to see Rubio and DeSantis on a ticket in 2028. I don’t care who is for which office.

[Scott Link @scottlinkpol]

Everyone is learning all the wrong things from last Tuesday aren’t they…

If “Conservative” media had been this critical of Trump in the primary 3 years ago…

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Catastrophic defeat because of the bad economy and Trump’s immediate response is to show off his ballroom. I wasn’t expecting him to have the best response but this is far worse than I anticipated.

[Scott Link @scottlinkpol]

Welp, they weren’t that far off.

[Scott Link @scottlinkpol]

On polling- if the polls turn out to be really wrong today, will this be the final straw for polling methods? Feels
Like they are always off and always leaning left.

The next 2 years in the U.S.

[Scott Link @scottlinkpol]

What will Dems do now? Probably spend 6 months getting “even” with political enemies and then a year and a half voting for things they know won’t pass the veto and posturing to appease their base/donors.

[Scott Link @scottlinkpol]

Every “conservative” media personality is seeing $$$ this morning. 2 more years of ranting and raking in the money. All new fuel for the outrage machine. Of course, when it mattered 3 years ago in the primary, they were all MAGA MAGA MAGA. ‘Cause that’s where the $ was.

[Scott Link @scottlinkpol]

This whole election I think I saw two- TWO- video ads on actual policy from either Senate candidate. They were all on character. And plenty of character attacks on the statewide races as well.

[Scott Link @scottlinkpol]

“Conservative” media are now in their favorite position- out of power politically. They will whine and complain and rant about the horrors inflicted on America, when they squandered the pulpit they had to stop the GOP from becoming this thing it now is.

[Scott Link @scottlinkpol]

GOP has spent years saying policy over character, and character doesn’t matter. Then in Texas spent the entire Senate election saying the Democrat had bad character. While running a candidate with a million skeletons in his closet. We have to do better.

[Scott Link @scottlinkpol]

Vote for the kind of values you want, for the policies you want, for the world you want. Don’t vote against, but vote for a candidate. If the candidate has nothing you can vote for, choose another.

[Scott Link @scottlinkpol]

Here in TX there has been a lot of talk about choosing the lesser evil. That’s a false choice, and framing that tries to get the voter off the hook.
Is there no limit to the evil we should vote for as long as it’s the lesser? Of course not.

My advice always- Vote your values not your fears.
If you cannot find something to vote for, then that candidate has not earned your vote. And earn it they should. You don’t owe your vote to any candidate. You owe it to your family and community.
