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.

Yours truly has said well before this: My side seems hell bent on giving this to Democrats.

The 2026 Congress win by Dems IMO is no big deal.

2028 is what I'm interested in. I feel the Right is dying to have a Democratic President, there's NO other reason we'd be screwing with these things. That being the case:

1.)Small win by Dems. Woo hoo! We beat Trump! We rule! Vance sent packing! Woo hoo! And then, due to the typical Club 401K they/them stuff, spend 4 years hoping to outsmart some Red State Senator and get a bit done.

OR

2.)The right message. One that is beyond the 401K'ers. The right candidate - one that can truly run in 50 states.

A nice win, realistically 54% or so but one that can bring aboard 6-7 GOP Senators and have grand bargains on anything from Social Security to Medicare to AI and the labor force.

I'm so impatient to see which one it is. At this point even I can't call that one.
