One of the things that I'm always warning folks against in politics is the belief that anything that happens is eternal, that the change is eternal, that there will never be another loss in the future. I'm old enough to remember in 2004, after George W. Bush won reelection and secured the Congress of the United States, that there were Republicans who thought that Republicans would never lose again. This was the initiation of a brand new era. And then, of course, by 2006, Democrats had taken the Congress, and by 2008, they had taken the presidency. I'm also old enough to remember when the Democrats proclaimed in the aftermath of Barack Obama's 2012 victory that they would never lose again. They had a brand new coalition, an undefeatable coalition that would just continue to grow, and Republicans would be in the minority for literally ever. And within four years, Republicans had taken the presidency with Donald Trump.
And so now, when I hear Republicans who seem triumphalist about the idea that Democrats can never win again, that Democrats will never take power again, that all the trends are against them. It's true, the trends are against Democrats right now, and that's a wonderful thing. That's a good thing. Population movement from north to south, from blue states to red states, electoral votes that will follow, Democratic failures to find any sort of leadership class in the aftermath of the Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders octogenarian triumvirate. However, Politics changes quickly. Things happen. And there are warning signs on the horizon. The biggest one is that President Trump's popularity is not, in fact, transferable to every single other Republican candidate. You cannot just take President Trump, stamp him on a thing, and then hope that thing is going to be a winner. That is not how it works. Barack Obama tried the same thing. It doesn't work that way either. Every politician has to build their own coalition.
Every politician has to have their own group of people who follow them for their own personal reasons. And so this bizarre idea that everyone in politics seems to have on right and left, that you can take a very popular politician and then you can kind of smear that over the bread of the normie politicians or any other politicians and it will taste exactly the same. That is not the truth. That is not how it works. The reason I'm warning about this is because this is why President Trump's administration must be successful. President Trump is doing very important work. He's doing important work on everything from getting rid of DEI to completely restructuring education in the country to changing how we do spending and waste, fraud, and abuse.
On foreign policy, he's restoring a sense of American military power and deterrence. He's actually doing peace through strength. He's looking with fresh eyes at situations like the Middle East or the Far East. These are very important things that President Trump is doing. And that means no mistakes. No mistakes should be the byword inside the Trump administration. And the warning signs are there.
