Re: Actually, Trump WAS on the Ballot
“Actually, Donald Trump was the reason for the Republican losses in this election cycle.” —Arizona
“I have long admired how The Patriot Post so clearly articulates what is really going on in U.S. politics. Your points are always well supported. When we have a disappointing election day, your take on the outcome is so helpful to read, perhaps even cathartic. Thank you for what you do and how well you do it.” —Wisconsin
“This analysis is on the mark, and while I expect some of Alexander’s readers will shoot the messenger, if we can’t examine Trump’s successes and failures honestly, and if Trump will not make adjustments accordingly, we will lose again in 2028.” —Pennsylvania
Re: Republicans Are on the Clock
“There is still time to save our republic by passing pending legislation any way possible. The pending judicial nominees need to be confirmed. Yes, the GOP got spanked last Tuesday, but we can still lose the battle and win the war.” —Florida
“Instead of leaving important things unfinished, perhaps it is time to pick a big one and finish it. Iran is an important problem, and as usual, we have allowed a half-baked job to be ‘almost done.’ When was the last important war where the government didn’t surrender before the job was done and the sacrifices were made?” —Washington
“The Republicans are in this pickle precisely because they proved once again they will not govern. They know only how to be the party out of legislative power.” —Illinois
Re: Trump’s ’60 Minutes’ of Election Evaluation
“Entering the country illegally is entering the country illegally. That ‘poor little dishwasher who has been here illegally 30 years’ has had 30 years to do what it takes to become a citizen and to assimilate. The Left insists on calling illegal aliens undocumented immigrants. That’s like saying Bonnie and Clyde made undocumented bank withdrawals.” —Texas
Re: DeSantis Evaluates the GOP
“Ron DeSantis is the president we should have had in 2024 — i.e., conservatives would have had a chance for an eight-year run instead of two. But the MAGA truthers were stuck on Donald Trump, so they got what they wanted, and the rest of us are going to get it, good and hard, along with them. When I mentioned that DeSantis was the better candidate, I was told ‘the best candidate won.’ Really? So Joe Biden was the better candidate in 2020, Pol Pot was the people’s choice in Cambodia’s 1976 election, and Vladimir Putin wins elections by having the best policies? Conservatives will have to rebuild trust and, along with it, rebrand/replace their party of choice and move past the do-nothingness that has engulfed the Republican Party.” —Oklahoma
“We need to ensure we keep our positive relationship with Israel. If they don’t need our money, that is fantastic! They are our strongest ally in the region, if not the world, and most of their values align with ours.” —Texas
“You cannot help but sense, strongly, that Democrat dominance in DC will lead to pushing Israel even further to the side, not only with reduced aid but with growing antisemitic fervor. The new influx of Jew-haters in the halls of Congress will only throw fuel on that fire. The consequences of this new trajectory could be unfathomable, both here and in Israel.” —North Carolina
Re: Data Center Opposition Leads to Stock Market Selloff
“Bernie Sanders is a communist. His take on data centers in the U.S. is just what the Chinese would have ordered. This is no coincidence. Sanders has no business being a U.S. senator!” —South Carolina
“We have had these data centers for over 20 years. They were called ‘The Cloud.’ Google, Amazon, and Microsoft all have data centers. What do you think Instagram, Google, WhatsApp, and X all run on? And don’t forget eBay, Etsy, and thousands of other growing businesses.” —Illinois
Re: Profiles of Valor: Attack on the USS Liberty
“I didn’t know about William McGonagle and the attack on the USS Liberty. Unfortunately, all these years later, we are still waiting for a full accounting of this incident by the NSA and CIA.” —California
