You've been hearing sounds of explosions across the entire country over the last 24 hours. No, that's not Iran retaliating for what we are doing to them in the Strait of Hormuz. Those are liberal heads. exploding everywhere in the wake of yesterday's massive decision by the Supreme Court. And let me tell you right now, if Republicans can just do the bare minimum going into the midterms in 2026. the high court may have just saved their majority and blocked a blue wave and so in a massive decision regarding it technically it was about louisiana's redistricting map

but it's going to have massive consequences for the entire country. The Supreme Court ruled six to three, right down ideological lines, John Roberts and the five conservatives versus Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Ketanji Brown Jackson, the leftist on the court. Six to three, that... drawing congressional districts based on race under the Voting Rights Act is illegal and unconstitutional and in particular they looked at a case regarding Louisiana in which the legislature and then several appellate, several courts, ruled that they had to create a majority minority district in Louisiana. And the high court looked at that and said, you cannot create district maps, you cannot draw congressional districts based on race. You can't authorize it. You can't compel it. You can't do it. It is illegal and contrary to the spirit of the Voting Rights Act and of the Constitution itself. And so in plain English, what this means is that many of these so-called majority minority districts that have been gerrymandered over the last 30 to 40 years. whether it be across the south, whether it be in Texas, in Florida, in Mississippi, in Alabama, in Missouri, even in Ohio, other states that have given Democrats an extra 15 to 20 seats in Congress are now going to be abolished. So in plain English, The redistricting lines are going to be changed. Congressional maps are going to be redrawn. Most of these majority minority districts are now going to be abolished. And the Republicans are now poised to pick up a minimum of a dozen seats in the upcoming midterm elections and maybe as many as 19 or 20 seats. In other words, It looks like there will be no blue wave. In fact, again, it's hard to predict the future, but you can tell by the Democrats' reaction, to say they have gone berserk is the understatement of the century. Obama excoriated the decision. Chuck Schumer, I thought, lost his mind yesterday. Hakeem Jeffries is screaming racism, discrimination, Jim Crow, that's all he was yelling yesterday. The media is completely shell-shocked. And so what's now going to happen based on this decision and several other Supreme Court decisions over the last couple of weeks is now you are going to see some of these Democrat congressional districts.

After now, their congressional maps are going to be redrawn in special sessions of the state legislatures. Florida, for example, just did it yesterday. They have now redrawn their congressional map, and now it will add potentially four extra Republican seats at the cost of the Democrats. Texas is going to add four, maybe even six seats. And on and on, it's going to go. That if you look at now the way these maps are being redrawn, and now the Democrats can't stop it, they can't sue it, they can't use lawfare to prevent it, because the Supreme Court now has said loudly and clearly, you can gerrymander, you can redraw maps based on partisan advantage, as Samuel Alito said. but you cannot use race to redistrict these congressional maps and create these sort of majority minority congressional districts. And so with this now taking place, the Democrats are going to lose potentially 12, 15, 20 seats. That's the ball game. That's the ballgame. It's going to be almost impossible for the Democrats to win the midterms. And so with that, they see their powers starting to slip away. And that's why they passed this ridiculous redistricting map in California under Gavin Newsom, where they're going to pick up about, I think, four seats there or five seats there. And then, of course, what happened in Virginia last week? which was a constitutional travesty. In Virginia, you have a bipartisan commission that sets the map, the congressional district lines. Right now, it is six, they have 11 seats in Congress, six seats are Democrats, five seats are Republicans. This new congressional map. would give the Democrats 10 seats and the Republicans only one. So a four-seat pickup for the Democrats. The only problem is they literally abused the Constitution in order to get to this new map. It is unconstitutional. It is illegal. The referendum that they held on it was unconstitutional and illegal. And it looks now like the Virginia Supreme Court is likely going to strike down this new congressional map. So the four seats that the Democrats were hoping to pick up looks like it may not materialize. So we are now in a redistricting war. And in this redistricting war, It is clear that the Democrats are going to lose. And the days of take Jim Clyburn, Congressman Jim Clyburn from South Carolina, he's from the sixth congressional district in that state, that is a racially gerrymandered state.

It was created to have majority minorities. In other words, to pack in African Americans into this district so they can elect this Democrat hack, Jim Clyburn, who's been there for, what is it, almost 40 years. Those days are coming to an end. And so the days of the likes of Jim Clyburn or many members of the Congressional Black Caucus or many members of the Hispanic Caucus in which they come from these majority minority congressional districts because that's how they were constructed and gerrymandered, that is going to be eventually coming to an end. Many of them are going to be eliminated in the next couple of months. Now you know why the Democrats are going nuts because their expected blue wave where they were vowing to take back the House, maybe even the Senate, now looks more unlikely than ever. And what you're going to see is a continuing tip shift in the balance of power. in which you're going to see Republicans get more seats and more seats. Already, Mississippi now is setting up a special session to end these majority minority districts. Alabama now is following suit. You have North Carolina. You have Missouri. You have South Carolina. This is going to lead to many more seats for Republicans. All they have to do. is wage a half-decent campaign in the midterms and actually, you know, pass something and have, you know, semi-decent governance give Republican voters an incentive to go out to vote. And it's almost impossible for the Democrats to win this November. And so this racial gerrymandering. that you have seen the Democrats do over and over again creating these artificial districts based simply on race that now has been eliminated or at least declared illegal and unconstitutional and now it looks like they're going to pay the price at the polls What's going on, everyone?

Okay, so yesterday's ruling cannot... be understated, sorry, cannot be overstated, just the massive impact it's going to have in the 2026 midterms and definitely the 2028 elections. This is going to play out, the ripple effects of this are going to be going on for a couple of years. And in a nutshell, the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965. And it was part of the final piece of the civil rights legislation package to overturn Jim Crow and segregation in the South. And what the Voting Rights Act was supposed to do, and it's in theory, it's a beautiful idea, which is to ban discrimination in voting. And in particular,

to ban or prevent blacks from being barred from being able to vote. In the South, there were all kinds of obstacles put in the way deliberately to prevent blacks from being able to vote. And the Voting Rights Act, Section 2, that's the heart of the Voting Rights Act, says, no, you can't do that. You have to do everything possible. to give African Americans the same opportunity and the same rights to vote as everybody else. Well, beginning with that in 1965, the Democrats, as they do with everything, abused it. And they used Section 2 to then begin to draw congressional maps for each state using race. As Samuel Alito said yesterday, the point of the Voting Rights Act is that race should not be considered when you go and vote or denying people the right to vote. Race should have nothing to do with voting. Well, what they did was they turned that on its head. And so what happened was, in plain English, Democrats were allowed to gerrymander. and Republicans were not allowed to gerrymander. And so Democrats, and they did this in state after state after state, created these phony artificial districts using race in order to maximize Democrat voting power. to give them as much of an advantage so they can carve out as many quote unquote safe Democrat seats. And this over time gave them a disproportionate amount of representation in Congress. Well, yesterday, essentially what the Supreme Court said is, You cannot use race as a basis to create any congressional districts. So all of these districts that you see in California, that you see in across the south, that you see in New York, where they're playing with populations and with lines of congressional districts in order to ensure. that Democrats will win that district by making sure there's a certain number of minorities that are included in those districts. So a majority black district, a majority Latino district, a majority Asian district. Those now have been considered declared by the Supreme Court illegal and unconstitutional. So they can no longer racially gerrymander. And if they can't racially gerrymander, they've got a big problem. Because they got a lot of seats, about two dozen of them in Congress through this very process of racial gerrymandering.

And so now you're going to see all of these state legislatures, especially controlled by Republicans, wipe out these so-called majority minority congressional districts. And you're going to have normal congressional districts where you're not just trying to pack in a certain racial group to get the political outcome that you want. And so potentially it depends how people vote, obviously. But we're looking at potentially 12 to 20. Some say maybe even as many as 25. Extra seats, pickups, wins for Republicans in this midterm election and going into 2028. Now, that's the ballgame. I'm telling you, that's the ballgame. It's going to be very difficult, almost impossible. For the Democrats to win at that many seats. 617-266-6-68-68 is the number. Look, honestly, as many of you are texting the Cooner Man and emailing me and messaging me, if this doesn't get MAGA fired up for the midterms, honestly, I don't know what will. I mean, this... This couldn't have come at a more opportune, more needed moment right now. And you can tell by the Democrat reaction. I mean, it's like a ton of bricks fell on their head. I mean, they look crushed. Well, simultaneously crushed and absolutely enraged, just enraged, because now they know. The gig is up. They have been essentially creating fake artificial congressional districts by using race illegally for decades and decades and decades. And basically the Supreme Court finally called them out and said no. That's not what the original intent of the Voting Rights Act was. And it's certainly not the intent of the Constitution. You cannot use race as a basis to create congressional districts or redistrict congressional maps. You just, you can't. And you certainly can't force states, and that's what they were doing, to have to come up with majority minority districts at least one or two or three per every state. That's illegal, unconstitutional, contrary to the very heart and spirit of the Constitution. And that's why you're going to see many of these majority minority districts. These are Democrat districts, obviously. They are going to fall like a house of cards. Now, notice the fundamental contradiction. with the Democrats and the entire media class who are screaming bloody murder. Because now all of a sudden they don't like gerrymandering. See, now that Republicans are getting in the game and they're finally fighting back, suddenly now, oh, no, no, hey, woo, how dare you gerrymander? Well, whoa, whoa, whoa. When California under Gavin Newsom just gerrymandered four extra seats, no problem.

When Virginia took one of the fairest congressional maps in the country, six Democrats, five Republicans, and abused the Constitution in order to create this new map, which I'm telling you is illegal, and the Supreme Court will shoot it down, the Virginia Supreme Court. and gerrymandered four extra seats for them. No problem. No problem. So you see, Democrats have been gerrymandering and adding extra Democrat seats going back 40, 50 years. No problemo baby. But when the Republicans start to do it, as they did in Florida yesterday, with a new map passed in the House, going into the Senate, that's going to add four extra Republican seats. Texas, six extra Republican seats. You wait till North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Missouri, Ohio. You watch when they start getting involved as well. Suddenly, the sky, if you read Elena Kagan's dissent, honest to God, you think the sky is falling. This is the end of the Voting Rights Act. We're going to return to Jim Crow. No. No one's going to deny African Americans the right to vote. Are you crazy? No one's going to reinstitute the poll tax. Are you crazy? No one's going to physically prevent African Americans from voting. In fact, to me, one of the brilliant points made by Samuel Alito Samuel Alito, and he basically wrote the majority opinion, Samuel Alito made the point, if you look at the last five presidential elections, African Americans, vote more than whites in the last five presidential elections. African Americans either vote at the exact same rate as the white population, and in two out of the five, they actually voted in greater numbers per population. They voted in greater numbers than the white population. And by the way, that includes in Louisiana, because the case centered around a map, congressional map in Louisiana. So the point that Samuel Alito made was, you're looking at the success of the Voting Rights Act. Blacks now not only have unfettered access to vote, they now vote at rates higher than whites. Higher than whites. So contrary to them being held back or the vote being suppressed, they actually are the most active voters in the country as a voting bloc. So the Voting Rights Act in its mission has succeeded. So this doesn't gut the Voting Rights Act as the media is claiming and the Democrats are claiming and the three liberal justices were claiming.

What they're saying is you can't use race to gerrymander safe districts for Democrats. The Voting Rights Act wasn't intended to maximize democratic voting power. And to show you... how bad the democrats have abused gerrymandering and notice this they don't complain about okay now get ready for this get ready for this now those of us in massachusetts we already know the score we know how bad it is so in the last election 36% of Republican, 36% of the popular voters, 36% of voters in Massachusetts voted Republican. Tell me, in our congressional delegation, how many seats do the Republicans have? Zero. Zero. So, 36% voted Republican. And they don't get even one congressional representative? One? Just one? So that means 36% of voters in Massachusetts have literally no voice in Congress. Okay? But hold on. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. It's not just with Massachusetts. In Connecticut, 42% of voters vote Republican. Forty-two. You know how many seats in Congress? Zero. In Maine, 46% vote Republican. 46. You know how many seats? Zero. In New Mexico, 46% vote Republican. You know how many seats they have in Congress? Zero. New Hampshire, just north of us. 48% vote Republican. Okay, we're, you know, 48. I mean, we're almost at 50. You know how many seats? Zero. Rhode Island, 42% vote Republican. You know how many seats? Zero. Vermont 32% vote Republican. You know how many seats? Zero. Hawaii, 38% vote Republican. You know how many seats? Zero. Delaware, 42% vote Republican. You know how many seats? Zero. So you see, it's only bad. When Republicans do it. Because when Democrats gerrymander and gerrymander and gerrymander to the point that you have states in New England, here take New Hampshire as the most obvious example, where almost 50%, 48% vote Republican on a consistent basis, and they don't even get one seat? So it's taxation without representation.

These are all taxpayers. A hell of a lot more than the Democrats. I'll tell you this. So hardworking, law-abiding, patriotic, taxpaying Americans in all of these blue states that I just listed and not one, not one seat in Congress. And the Democrats now want to complain?

Couple lines are open if you want to jump on. Okay. This is from 603. You can text the Cooner Man, 70470, 70470. And 603 makes an absolutely outstanding point. Jeff, I can only compare the ruling that has just transpired from the Supreme Court and the subsequent reaction by the Democrats. to the classic scene we've all watched in the old western movies a group of men are sitting around the table having a game of high-stakes poker when suddenly one of the men reaches across the table grabs the other man's left arm pulls his sleeve up and exposes the ace card hidden up his sleeve The Supreme Court has just exposed and taken away the Democrats ace up their sleeve. Hopefully this means game over. I love it. I love the analogy. That's essentially what they've done. No, you're not going to keep rigging it using race. No, you're not going to keep creating these fake unconstitutional majority minority districts. No, you're not going to do it anymore. And now the Democrats don't know what to do. Because if they don't rig elections, they can't win. They can't win on their ideas. They can't win on their program. They can't win on their policies. And so they have to resort to these kinds of shenanigans. And now a major ace up their sleeve has been taken away. And, you know, if people vote the way they normally vote and they should vote in the upcoming midterm elections, then all this talk of a massive blue wave and of Democrats, you know, sweeping back the power in the House and in the Senate, well, guess what? It's going to become next to impossible for them to do it. And that's why now, I mean, they want to hang those six Supreme Court justices. I mean, you guys, they're going nuts. They're going absolutely in, I mean, they're apoplectic. Now, I want to read to you another text because it captures the corruption. that you've been seeing in these blue states and in these Democrat states. And here in Massachusetts, I gave the numbers 36% consistently vote Republican. Okay, that's based off of the last election. It's really more like 40. And no seats in Congress, zero, not even one. So I'm, I don't have a voice. Many of you don't have a voice. It's taxation without representation. And just to show you how they gerrymander this state to guarantee that there's not even one Republican member of Congress, that every congressional seat is won by Democrats. This is from 781. Jeff, to your point, the way Steve Lynch, Congressman Steve Lynch,

wins in Massachusetts is because his district snakes and slithers through black and brown neighborhoods from south Boston all the way to Brockton down toward Fall River I mean, look at these congressional districts. Here, take Steve Lynch's district as an example. Okay, I mean, you look at it, it looks deformed. No, really, it's like you're like this. I mean, it's it's like super thin, super thin, super thin, and it's just going for miles and miles and miles. And then they get a big chunk. And then again, a little super thin. And it goes in through a couple of neighborhoods. And it's the craziest district you've ever seen in your life. And that's because they want to make sure he gets enough. Okay, make sure he put it through some of these predominantly black neighborhoods. Okay. Oh, got a lot of Latinos, a lot of illegals in that one. Okay, let's get six or eight towns in there. I mean, and suddenly Shazam. You know, Stevie Lynch is in the safest seat in the country. There's no way you can challenge Steve Lynch. Now, again, I live in a different district, okay, than the one that Steve Lynch, but Sandy lives in Brookline. For those of you listening across the country, Brookline is a stone's throw from Boston. I mean, I'm exaggerating, but it's very close to Boston. I live practically on the border with Rhode Island. I'm 10 minutes from the Rhode Island border. I'm like southern, southern, southern Massachusetts. I'm a stone's throw away from Gillette Stadium. She's in my district, or I'm in her district, however you want to pray. We have the same member of Congress. If I got into my car from my home to drive to Sandy's home, it takes me a full hour. No traffic. If there's no traffic, a full hour. And we're in the same district. And that's the guarantee that they get enough, because my area has got some conservatives and Republicans. So they want to make sure that they chop up the Republican conservative vote and divvy it up among different districts. So that the Democrats can make sure that the outcome is they win every single seat and you will never get a Republican or conservative district. So you have this absurdity that Sandy and Brookline, an hour away by car, lives practically, you know, close to downtown Boston. And the Cooner Man.

who's five miles away from Rhode Island in the most southern part of the state, and we're in the same district with the same member of Congress. So that's the absurd links that the Democrats will go to to guarantee political power. And when Republicans say, well, okay, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. All right. Hey, we didn't make up the rules. You did. Well, you know what? We're going to do a little gerrymandering of our own. You can't do this. This is undemocratic. You're gutting the Voting Rights Act. This is unconstitutional. So when you do it, it's okay. When the Republicans fight back, that's no good. Right. The Supreme Court delivered the Democrats a massive body blow yesterday. And I don't see how we're a Democrat, I mean, anything's possible. But for them now to have to pick up an extra... 12 to 20 seats in order to win back the majority I can see why they're crying because it's going to be a tough long hard road 617 266 68 okay I want to ask you the great audience of Cooner Country is it fair that 36% of voters in Massachusetts are Republicans, often it's 40%, yet we don't have one member of Congress. Is it fair in New Hampshire? 48% of voters. And for example, they have a Republican governor. Sometimes it's even 50 plus one. but regularly 48% of voters vote Republican, and they don't have a single seat. Connecticut, 42% vote Republican, and they have zero congressional representation. Is that fair? And what can we do to change it? And is this really taxation without representation? I say it is what say you. 617-266-6-68 is the number. And I want to ask all of you, how do you feel about the Supreme Court decision? Was it the right decision? Should race be used when they create these new maps, these congressional districts? I say absolutely not, but I want to hear from you. and do you now feel that the republicans have a chance a real chance to hold on to their majorities in the house and in the senate did the supreme court

Just ride to Trump's rescue and the GOP's rescue. 617-266-68. 61868. Ken in New Hampshire. Thanks for holding Ken and welcome. Good morning, Jeff. Ken, how are you, my friend? Winning, winning, winning, winning, winning, winning, winning, winning, seven winnings. You hear me? Not just three, seven. No, that's, I mean, that one, that was a doozy yesterday. Ken, I thought they were going to shoot themselves on CNN. Oh, Hakeem Jeffries, I don't know if you saw him. I'm going to play a cut. Oh, he's losing his mind. But anyway, Ken, go ahead, my friend. I'm going to give you a call that'll make your head spin a little bit. Because, yeah, I love what happened yesterday. And I love our Constitution set up as it is that leads it to the states. So I don't care if you're on the left or you're on the right. I've complained about gerrymandering. You got to go out with a winning attitude and just fly out win. Now, I know it's a really tall order in New England. I get it. Yeah, they're all up. It's like, geez, they get everything. But you know what? We would have to do a wild gerrymandering to get one seat in Massachusetts. Let's be serious. You got to start winning at the local level, folks. So let me give you an idea. How do you win at the local level? You know? We say, oh, we work so much. We don't have time to do all the politics. Other lawyers and the professional lefties, they dominate, you know, in the cultures as it is. Yeah, it's all that true. But, you know, things have changed, haven't they? There's an excuse that we don't have time to go to the education, local education meetings. That's bogus. There's plenty of us that work remote. Make the time. You care about your kids. So, yeah, it's an uphill battle in New England. It's not as hard in New Hampshire. And, yeah, I'm not complaining about Jerry Manning. I'm not complaining about Jerry Manning. The bottom line is fight, fight, fight, win, win. Start with the governorship this year. And you know what? If you spend one or two days every week, Jeff, talking about Mike Minogue. Maybe that'll make a big difference to all the people listening from Massachusetts who have kids and grandkids, which includes me with the grandkids. That's my daughter's family. I fared it. I really care deeply. My oldest grandson has just 17 months before he starts getting indoctrinated. I don't like that. You've got to start handling that locally. So where do we start? You get Minogue to get within at least 10 points. Because the pattern in Massachusetts is they're lazy voters. It's like, oh, an incumbent's in, yeah. We'll vote for an incumbent. And they do it either way. Democrats are Republicans with it when you talk about governorship. But as much as we wish Charlie was better, and there's a lot of things that complain about Charlie Baker. You better what you got now? Go.

Minogue, I think, is way better than Charlie. But if he follows the path of loses by a little bit and comes back to next time, I'm not so sure Murray's going to keep running. And you know what? I think Minogue's going to win one way or another, whether it's 26 or 30. That's your mission. And fight it. Don't complain about gerrymandering. It's about winning. The man in the White House is winning over and over and over again. And it's wonderful what's going on Iran. You wait until that IRGC falls apart. But that's a side issue I know. Today's is the wonderful victory that we had yesterday. Oh, I agree, Ken. Look, I think it's a game changer. I think there's no question. It's a game changer. And you know it is by the reaction of the Democrats. And so you can see now, they see power slipping away again. They thought they had Trump on the ropes. They thought there was going to be a big blue wave coming in November. And now, and you know, as, as Larry messaged me, they gerrymandered the hell, the Democrats. They so gerrymandered the hell out of every state they controlled. There's no wiggle room. Like there's nothing. They can't add another seat. They just can't. They maxed it out. They squeezed it and squeezed it and squeezed it and squeezed it down to the last drop. And the Republicans didn't because they were always playing defense and they were prevented by this false reading of the Voting Rights Act, whereby they say, oh, no, no, you have to have all these majority minority districts. You have to have them, whether you like it or not. Well, now the Supreme Court has blown that apart. And that's now you watch. Texas is going to go. They're going to add seats. Florida now is in the process of adding seats. You're going to see other states. I know Mississippi is calling a special session. I believe it's either today or tomorrow. I mean, they're moving on this super fast. So you are going to see six seats here, four seats there, two seats there. And before you know it. The Democrats are going to have no chance of winning back the House. So they only have themselves to blame. You know, you live by the sword, you die by the sword. Well, you live by the gerrymander. You die by the gerrymander. And that's exactly what's happened to the, you know, to the Democrats. Now, I do want to say this about Massachusetts. They had their convention. The Republicans had their convention. Keneally did not make the 15% threshold. So now it is down to two candidates. There's going to be two on the ballot for the primary in September. I don't care who you vote for. I'm not going to pick one or the other. Whoever the voters pick, I will back all the way against Maura Healey. To me, both of them, either of them, are infinitely better than Maura Healey. And I am not going to do to either of these two Republican candidates what the Chris Doty forces did to Jeff Deal in the last election against Maura Healey.

which is stab him in the back, divide the Republican conservative vote, and allow Morahili to win. I am not going to do what those Judas'es did to deal. I'm not, because I'm not a Judas. I'm not for sale. Like they are. Now, that being said, I'm going to tell you right now, this should be the most winnable election for the mass GOP. Here, as I said on X last night, and I don't want to get too sidetracked with local Massachusetts politics, but this is how bad it is. A bombshell new report from the Pioneer Institute under Morahili, under Democrat misrule, because of the crushing high taxes, the stifling regulation. The insane anti-business, anti-entrepreneur policies. Massachusetts, which used to be the second best place to start a business. You know, 10 years ago, literally 10 years ago, this was the second best state in America to start a business or a company. I mean, just think about it objectively. World-class universities. some of the best research and development in the country, a highly trained, highly skilled workforce, a strong financial sector that can bring in a lot of capital. So you want to start up a business or expand the business. I mean, we had it all. Now we are dead last. We are 50th of 50. We're in last place under Morahili. Businesses, entrepreneurs, companies, by the way, worse than New York, worse than California. Okay, that's how bad it is. They're fleeing. Businesses, companies, investors are fleeing in record numbers to Texas, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina. She's destroying the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Never mind turning it into a sanctuary state. Never mind squandering billions and billions and billions on illegals. Putting them up in taxpayer-funded and paid apartments. Free furniture, free health care, free food, free computers. I mean, literally, everything free. And we don't have enough money for schools. We don't have enough money for roads. We don't have enough money for hospitals. We're chronically underfunded. And we've got one of the highest now poverty rates in the country because so much of our money is going to illegals. This should be a slam dunk election. For Republicans, if you can't beat Morahili, then there's no point in having a Republican Party. And yet they ran one of the most disorganized, sloppy conventions I've ever seen in my life. Everybody that attended, I got email after email, text after text saying, Jeff, this is such a colossal screw up.

How do you do this? We should be coming out of here with energy, fire, momentum, passion. Instead, everybody's demoralized. And I'll tell you why. It's because of the mass GOP chair, Amy Carnivali. She screwed up that convention. She has run the party into the ground. Hanging out at the pool is great. Relaxing and playing Vegas-style games on my phone at the same time.
