History Won the 2026 Midterms

Partisanship is part and parcel of American politics, which is a good thing. That is what a true democracy must entail and entertain because you and I can hire and fire politicians. The balance of power is in our hands, and we are not stupid.

President Trump, in my humble opinion, should be recognized for having the courage and power to de-nuclearize Iran. We cannot afford another 9/11, period. For this, he paid a heavy price in terms of popularity, and he knew it. I don't care much about his ups and downs, but I need to give him a shout-out on the Iran issue. Security comes first, always.

In the same breath, I won’t blame my fellow citizens for giving the Democrats both the Senate and the House. If, like me, you are an everyday Joe, you aren't happy with gas prices. You and I need to keep the cost of living down. President Trump and his party failed on this front. So, the Republicans must be punished, big time. The silent majority is an angry majority. Let's bear this in mind.

President Trump should have been wise enough not to pour millions upon millions of super-rich guys' money just to run ads painting his opponents as liars and potential terrorists. Folks weren't impressed. They wondered why the Republicans didn't put money into improving their livelihoods instead. They are sick and tired of negative political ads, just as they were when the Democrats played the same game.

I think Donald J. Trump will be remembered as a great "security president." Fair or unfair, his fellow Republicans are hitting a rough patch. They are actually quite used to it, and so are their opponents.

History wins.
