The first corruption of GOP as a politically viable party came via Newt
Second Thread: The incurable SPD
Looking at the coming split of the GOP, next up is the era right up to Trump announcing his run in 2015. What happened in the decades right up to that moment. We get SPD, Sarah Palin's Disease. Alas, there is no cure
The first corruption of GOP as a politically viable party came via Newt
Since Bill Clinton won in 1992, GOP has only once won 50% of the election
Bob Dole lost to Bill Clinton
W lost popular vote to Al Gore
McCain lost to Obama
Romney lost to Obama
Trump lost popular vote to Hillary
Trump lost to Biden
THIS IS A SUICIDAL POLITICAL STRATEGY
The MAIN reason GOP has half of POTUS victories (W vs Al Gore, Trump vs Hillary) is the archaic non-democratic Electoral College
At that point GOP becomes PERMANENT MINORITY PARTY in USA
That is because of Newt Gingrich. Sarah Palin only compounded that mess that Newt created
That is because of election technical obsolesccence or mistakes like gerrymandering and the Electoral College
Newt was Trump's FIRST POLITICAL ADVISOR for Trump's 2015 run.

As we await Rudy Giuliani's arrest, let's do an update to the biggest criminal cases Rudy faces, and how this Giuliani path will take Trump to prison for life (separate from Weisselberg path that also takes Trump to prison for life)

In this photo we see the US classified documents that Trump is shipping to Saudi Arabia. Next we will look briefly at those going to Turkey, before the boxes heading to Russia, then those going to Egypt.. https://t.co/YqqS5lY5G8

💥💥💥Situation Update, Dec. 3rd – Trump invokes foreign interference provision of his 2018 executive order, authorizing military response to cyber warfare, see NSPM 13 💥💥💥 [M.Adams]
⁉️ ✅ Ask yourself this question: What was the purpose of yesterday’s White House speech about election fraud and vote-rigging?
✅ If you think it was all about Trump communicating to the people, think again. This speech was really about Trump communicating with Chris Miller
✅ and the DoD about foreign interference in the U.S. election while laying out the key national security justifications that are necessary to invoke what I’m calling the “national security option” for defending the United States against an attempted cyber warfare coup.
⭕️ Decoding President Trump’s Dec. 2nd speech:
https://t.co/G9kmUfVQzS
🇺🇸Consider what Trump said in yesterday’s speech. About 95% of this speech was filler. Only 5% really matters, as I detail below:
1. First, he lays out that he has a sworn oath to defend the United States
2. Constitution against the wartime “siege” that’s underway:
As President, I have no higher duty than to defend the laws and the constitution of the United States. That is why I am determined to protect our election system, which is now under coordinated assault and siege.

Krugman is, of course, right about this. BUT, note that universities can do a lot to revitalize declining and rural regions.
