Is Donald Trump bad for the GOP? (11-11-2022--Hour1)

The Pete Kaliner Show ·

2022/11/11

Megan McArdle at the Washington Post wrote a series of tweets arguing that former President Donald Trump is "bad for the [Republican] party's electoral fortunes. The more he takes over the party, the harder it is for the party to actually wield power." The columnist went on to say: The problem isn't his issue set, it's him. The party can win on a more immigration-restrictionist platform. It can win being more moderate on social security and Medicare reform. It can win on (some) culture war issues

Is Trump 'damaged goods'? (11-10-2022--Hour1)

2022/11/10

In a piece at POLITICO, David Siders says former President Donald Trump is damaged goods. Trump is still the dominant figure in the Republican Party, and he’ll be the favorite to win the GOP nomination for president if, as expected, he runs again. But Trump’s place in the party is far weaker after Tuesday. Truth is, if not for the former president’s interventions, the night could have been a lot better for the GOP. Just look at how the most Trump-y candidates fared in states where more

NC House Republican Caucus Director, Stephen Wiley, manages the candidate recruitment and campaigns for the 120 state House races. He says getting to a 72-seat majority was always going to be a heavy lift, even as they over-performed national GOP trends. While it's too early to analyze all of the results and turnout, Wiley says it appears that the anti-Trump coalition that formed in 2018 had an impact yesterday.

Despite the framing of North Carolina as a 50-50 split between Republicans and Democrats, we're actually a 52-48 state.

According to TIME, there has been an increase in threats and political violence over the past six years. Across the U.S., there has been a surge of harassment, attacks, and violent threats targeting civic and public officials and their families. America is a nation shaped by violent acts and founded on principles that protect free speech, even when it is ugly or incendiary. Yet the specter of politically motivated violence today has become alarmingly pervasive, and the fear it engenders is upending

2022/11/03

President Joe Biden's political campaign speech masquerading as a President address lacks credibility because he dishonestly framed it as a partisan issue. Biden started his speech last night linking the attack on Paul Pelosi with the riot at the US Capitol on January 6, 2020. He said everyone must stand united in calling out all political violence, and silence is complicity. But the President did not mention any of the other political violence that has a more-direct and obvious connection to

President Joe Biden reprised his "Bidenchtag Fire" speech (minus the fascistic blood red aesthetic) last night, in an address that was not carried by any of the major TV networks. Biden attacked "MAGA Republicans" as threats to Democracy, in a last-ditch effort to convince voters to support Democrats in next week election. Jim Geraghty at National Review writes: Biden’s speech was repetitive and more than a little condescending, talking to Americans as if he was a high school principal reprimanding

A Democratic judge in Gaston County was caught on video tape stealing yard signs that called him a "Proud Democrat." NC Governor Roy Cooper appointed Jesse Caldwell IV to fill unexpired term of his father, who retired from the bench after reaching the mandatory retirement age of 72. Caldwell told the local paper he was "proudly running as a Democrat." But Jonathan Fletcher, the Chairman of the Gaston GOP, said Caldwell was campaigning as a conservative. So, the GOP made the signs. And then caught
