so now that Trump's immediate health (next few hours) is less of a crisis, let's be clear about the Big Picture.

we are in this sitch because of trump's negligence and nonchalant approach.

his being ill enough for hospitalization directly contravenes his downplaying the virus
while we'll obviously have to wait and see how things shake out, he's off the trail for 2 weeks or so, and his flailing campaign is not built for nimble recovery.

Take hot takes about this benefitting him with a large chunk of salt. it's an operations disaster for Team Trump.
The very core of his candidacy, that he handled this virus perfectly, is refuted by everything that's happened since yesterday. Enough that even Fox is forced to cover it.

And he was already losing. /end

Election takeaway:
"Voters in key races rejected that Republican position,"
whatever it was, as too extreme.

No sugar coating it, they got trounced for their extremism

Republicans are floundering, trying to settle on an issue that revs up their base like Roe/Dobbs does for Democrats.

• Title 42 reversal is a bust so far with video on the networks documenting a drop in numbers (the issue is a serious one, the politics are politics of fear).
• The Hunter Budin/Weaponizing committees are a bust, with the overhyped leaked documents leading nowhere except Q style conspiracies: "my best sources are disappeared!"

• The Republican-initiated debt ceiling crisis? They never read The Ransom of Red Chief, I guess.
Mind you, all of them are serious issue at their core, but none of the GOP efforts are at all based on serious analysis and solutions. Not in the least.

And that's what is the remarkable take away from all of this. Even with a House majority, there is no serious effort to govern

“I think that the New York case is much stronger than people perceive it to be,” [John] Dean told me yesterday. “We really don’t know the contents of the indictment, and we really won’t know for a much longer time the evidence behind the indictment.” @RonBrownstein
it is so refreshing reading grownups doing analysis

Local paper suggests focus on crime was misplaced and might have backfired

Our local GOP ran awful ads trying to make the case, eg that Dick Blumenthal was trying to kill your kids with fentanyl - awful in production value as well as content

Whatever you think of Biden, history will recognize both the historic midterm win and the political instincts he brings to the table many take for granted.  How many politicians stay quiet when they need to stay quiet? Hint: it’s not about them if they are not running.
We'll see what happens in the House, but I'm still waiting for the "we were wrong about the Red wave and we were snookered by Republican operatives" stories to pile up.

Trump's document handling looks even worse today than it has from the beginning of the Mar a Lago story

N.B. don't make the mistake of judging how Trump is faring based on how MAGA sees it

They are neither the courts, the majority nor the real world.

Don't get sucked in to their delusions.
