The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Republicans jacked up premiums ----yet are not being thrashed about it daily.

How would you upend the popularity of the ACA among Proles? Make the cost prohibitive. Then tell the Proles they will have cheaper insurance, with "deregulation". Probably Millions in insurance industry "protected free speech", is persuading the official media to not make a big issue of it.

-- but a true win where unexpected things like the Senate flipping happens.

The Israeli front running for Senate from Michigan is now running her own negative ads, on top of the negative ads about El-Sayed being run by third parties. She is claiming he is "unelectable" in November. So, she is saying Michigan Dems are too racially and religiously bigoted to vote for a Muslim? She is also running an ad saying people make fun of the way she talks, and by doing so, they are insulting all the residents of Michigan. (channeling Hillary's argument that anyone against her, is against all women) The most questionable thing I have heard her say is "Israel comes to me in my dreams", and I think that is something worth considering when I vote tomorrow.

Meanwhile, the non-Trump front Repub running for Gov is trying to outTrump Trump, in racism, with some really horrible ads about "illegals", while calling the Trumper a "liberal".

Yikes.
