How to Neutralize the Democrats’ 2026 ArgumentsMotivated Democrats hope Republicans stick with timid, lazy messagingRepublicans routinely find themselves facing uphill electoral battles, with the full leftist institutional array of the media and the Swamp against them. However, Republicans can win the 2026 midterms if they don’t let Democrats define the arguments. This will require a lot more motivation than Republicans showed in 2025. The 2025 Election Postscript Conference by Campaigns & Elections, in Washington, D.C., brought together a bipartisan crowd representing 80 organizations, from media consulting firms to trade organizations to political action committees. Although a small sample of the political ecosystem, the bipartisan panels revealed what many Democrat and Republican campaign operatives believe their winning strategies are for the 2026 midterms.
2025 Year in Review—McLaughlin Group Style A topsy-turvy year that brought some inspiring good news along with the devastating bad.Every year since college, my best friend Dan and I have compiled our observations on a wide range of topics that reflect on the year that has just expired. We follow the well-established template of The McLaughlin Group program. (My 2024 column is at this link.) We lost the venerable John McLaughlin in 2016 after decades of shaping how political analysis and debate programs on television should be done. McLaughlin left a lasting impression on American culture that we still feel today. Steve Deace hosts a popular conservative podcast for The Blaze that routinely utilizes the format of the McLaughlin Group—calling it the Deace Group—that even uses the familiar theme music from McLaughlin's long-running PBS production. At the end of every year, the panelists—two conservative, two liberals, and the host—would give their grades on a variety of news topics throughout the year.
