I traveled all around Kansas for 4 days. Adam Hamilton has the more formidable ground game, more excitement, more money, and is just a better candidate. prospect.org/2026/10/30/adam…

These are at least the third times I'm seeing today, but as of this hour it looks like the Salina Trump rally will open to the public at 3:30 p.m., have speakers at 5:30 p.m. and the president will make his appearance at 7:00 p.m.

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.
