Trump Military Leader Flip Flops on Whether Military Action in Iran is About Regime Change
Senator Elizabeth Warren
Quote of the Day
“We learned that campaigning can still win in the attention economy. Talarico’s campaign was defined by big spending and a significant ground operation. Crockett lacked even a formally named campaign manager. One Democratic strategist said they hadn’t gotten a single piece of mail from her campaign or had their home visited by one of her volunteers.”
Talarico's win in Texas proves that disciplined, resource-heavy campaigning still matters in the modern, attention-driven political landscape.
