"A Generational Wipeout"

Joe and Alex called it - the change wave hit, and it hit BIG - everywhere. Turns out America took Trump's advice - to "Pretend I'm on the ballot" - and pretend they did. Up to 56 Senate seats, 250+ in the House, and flips everywhere - a wave of historic proportions. That 2024 polling freakout never materialized - why? What's Alex's advice for 2028?

Nobody had the Idaho Senate campaign on their races-to-watch list this year, but thanks to Independent Senate Candidate Todd Achilles, it’s time to start paying attention. Idahoans are as frustrated with rising prices, aging politicians, and the War in Iran as the rest of us, and the Achilles campaign is capturing that momentum by offering an alternative not beholden to either party. But is a great candidate running against a weak incumbent really enough to overcome a major fundraising disadvantage and a lack of national infrastructure? Todd certainly thinks so.
