What do the next two election cycles hold for the United States? It seems to me that 2026 and 2028 might end up being far more significant than the 2024 election was. Will 2026 and 2028 confirm MAGA populism as the foreseeable future for America, or will 2024 prove to be just a glitch and a hitch in America’s Leftward march towards Marxism, socialism, licentiousness, and decadence?

I think the following is a fair question to ask: Did America vote for Donald Trump and Republicans last year, or against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris? Mr. Trump and Republicans must do something in 2026 to persuade Americans that they are truly making the country a better place to live for Americans. Mr. Trump must convince voters to vote for Republicans and not just against the radical, Left-wing Democrats who now control that party. I’m not sure Mr. Trump has accomplished that in 2025, and I’m almost positive Mike Johnson and John Thune haven’t.

I think it’s safe to say that 2024 was a lost year for the Democrats. It was blatantly clear to the American people, even most Democrats, that Joe Biden was mentally incapable of handling the Presidency for four more years. He had to go; that was obvious. But then, Kamala Harris, probably the dumbest and least competent person ever to run for President, wanted the nomination. That probably infuriated and distressed, Democratic Party powers-at-be, because there was no way they could deny her the nomination—she was a black and a woman, two constituencies the Democrats couldn’t afford to offend. So, they simply had to take their beating last year and hope it wouldn’t be too severe. And, as bad as it was, it wasn’t a loss they could never recover from.

I don’t think we can say that Donald Trump’s first year in his return........
