The GOP has lost their third special election in Iowa this year, and the fourth was almost a loss. Luckily the MAGA super majority in the Iowa Senate has been broken for the fist time since 2022.  America is on the move, and MAGA is in retreat. Jobs and the economy, it's where the Republican record is the weakest.

Sorry boy, one WIN does not a revolution make..... Thats been the problem with Dems.... if they get a win they seem to lose focus and steam feeling empowered,  but when you take your foot off the gas peddle, the car STOPS !

This one in a series of losses by MAGA over the last six months.  And a 20%+ swing in voting preference in Iowa (again) isn't nothing.  Similar to the 20%+ swings in the two Florida special elections earlier this year. It's a common reaction across the country, the more Americans see of Trump the more they hate him. (If he really wanted to be popular he would hide himself away, as he usually does in the last week of a campaign.) 

Does this mean we're going to see sanity return to the USA anytime soon? No. We (and the rest of the suffering world) are stuck with him until January 20, 2029.  Is he going to get more rabid as he sees his clutch on power slipping away in 2026.  Yes.  October 2026 is going to be the ugliest month in USA political history I expect - entirely thanks to the current Incompetent-in-Chief. 

And when your team takes a win - or your nemesis (as I'm not a Democrat) takes a loss - you cheer. It's not the season, but it's a game. And games are  important.  So, cheer up and cheer the honest, hard fought wins when they happen.  The crowd matters.
