She wrote some wonderful speeches for Reagan, but I don’t care for the more recent commentary from Peggy Noonan.

She was a killer critic of the Clintons. Her columns on the Clintons in the WSJ were gold as was her book on them.

She was always my favorite columnist until the last couple of years. I was willing to cut her some slack because people from NYC tend to dislike Trump. Familiarity often breeds contempt, you know.

However, I remember her slamming Rush when he died . Yeah. I remember when Begala trashed her to her face during the 2000 election night coverage. Guess who publicly took up for her? Limbaugh. The same guy she lacerated in her Rush memorial column.

I read this column. I agree with some of it and disagree with other part of it.

Trump has a great floor but also a ceiling. He has always had problems breaking 50% approval. However, he had the fortune/misfortune of taking on Hilllary and Biden.

Under Biden, the Dems this year were demoralized. They were beat and they knew it as long as he was on the ticket. Even with Biden on ticket, what always worried me was their damn GOTV machine. They have harvesting and mail in ballots figured out and the GOP is slow to catch up. They know field work and they do it well.

Kamala makes her share of gaffes but don't think she can't recover. When she actually stays disciplined for a speech, she is not bad at all for her her side. Take her seriously.

She is not Bill Clinton but when Bill Clinton first ran, they laughed. He gave that stupid long speech at the 88 convention. Should've killed his candidacy actually. He damn near ran out of money in New Hampshire til Stephens/Worthen bailed him out. The bimbo eruptions should have doomed him but imitating EWE, he wouldn't quit. Then there was the draft dodging. Republicans laughed at him then. No way country elects a draft dodger. However, he was young, vigorous, and could give a great speech. Knew policy. Could empathize with audience. Suddenly Bush is down and down hard.

When all the Republicans were once laughing at Bill Clinton.

This woman is a republican? She seems to be rooting for Kamala.


Any supposed republican who would pull for Kamala is motivated by interests that have little to do with what’s truly best for America or American citizens.

There’s been a lot of veils removed over these past 9 years and I’m grateful to have seen it happen.

We were lulled to sleep for a long time.

A lot of people are seeing the light. Kamala's poll numbers are going up like a rocket.

I’m so pleased that that whole school of phony establishment Republicans are as relevant as the wooly mammoth.
