WOW, I'm so glad I elected to join you as a paid subscriber, I can't recall any of your previous articles that I've read that failed to impress.

My favorite point that you made was in your selection of Kari Lake as Trump's VP candidate.

I recognized her value to the party and Trump's campaign a while back, but waited for any other developments going forward. As we move forward there's no doubt, at least the way that I see it, that Kari Lake is the perfect choice.

Excellent and quantitative mid-term AAR, Seth! On Point II-- direct hit is a sad but true statement. When does Texas run out of feet to shoot for themselves? Texas needs to act like Texas, for pete's sake.

A man of integrity. An honest review. As an Arizonan I’m encouraged by the Maricopa County and Kari Lake points.

LOVE this article. Looking forward to more and more patriot activism and am on the edge of my seat watching the Greater Idaho movement.

Here in Utah, where all is well in Zion and our elections are the envy of the rest of the nation 🤣 we just had a GOP convention to nominate someone to replace US Rep Chris Stewart, who is resigning. I am a state delegate in his district.

I did manage to get one candidate to mention election integrity in a debate; he brought up the idea of doing audits. This candidate is a strict constitutionalist and his convention vote count ended up in the noise level. Another state delegate I know was quizzing candidates on the enumerated powers of Congress in the Constitution. Some of the candidates got a case of brain freeze.

The constitutionalist candidate whose vote count ended up in the noise level as well as my state delegate acquaintance did manage to influence a change in the vocabulary of the candidates between debate #1 and debate #2. I heard words and phrases like "constitution" and "enumerated powers" and "article 1" more often in the second debate.

Another candidate, whom I strongly supported, had serious boots on the ground experience as a volunteer canvassing North Las Vegas after an election. He lost the convention in the last round by 31 votes. 😩

Thank you for this. I value your opinions and your honesty on all these issues.

While I'd love to see Kari Lake prevail in court, so we can finally shut up all the "See? There was no fraud, because the judge said so!" types, she would be a perfect running mate for Trump. Where Trump is guilty of the occasional verbal or written uber-gaffe, Kari is positively silver-tongued. And sharp as a tack. The media is going to have a very hard time trying to convince the public that she is the female Hitler.

🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯 I give you 8 Direct hits. You made the argument that it didn’t make sense for RDS to run. It still doesn’t. And changing a law so he could run has to have an asterisk by it. Who could have known that RDS would become a shill for the never trumpers.

Oh and I would love to see Liz Cheney jump in and get obliterated first by the audience, and then in a debate by DJT! Massive ratings!

wait what?!?!? no mention of Texit in #7 ???

the number of registered supporters with the TNM grows daily and the new petition campaign looks quite promising with the fresh addition of online signature gathering activated.

also the site has added an audio version of Daniel Miller's Texit book.

It would appear to me that the petition would require a vote in favor, right? That could be problematic given the state of elections. And while I appreciate the sentiment of a Texit I doubt if it were on the ballot it would get even 35%.

oh ye of little faith :) :)

you might be surprised at the level of activity the TNM has going on nowadays, and how talented the team is !!

not to mention that the TXGOP had a plank in 2022 State convention about a referendum that had over 80% support

and to my knowledge they are well aware of the current election climate and are actively addressing it.

Well done, Captain K. I agree with your self-graded score, except for No 9 (with apologies to Frank G below). I just can't see Trump's ego allowing Lake to be on the same ticket with him. He derives sheer glee in posting about his big lead over DeSanctimonious. He couldn't handle learning that Lake may turn out to be more popular than he is. I think the recent attention to Lake has more to do with the media's concern that she has a big shot at winning in court and becoming AZ Governor soon.
