Summary
First, they celebrate the victory of Republican Matt Van Epps by nine points over far-left lunatic Aftyn Behn in the special Tennessee congressional election. The margin was narrower this time than in 2024, but Jim says this is a solid win in a special election. They also consider the likelihood that the Democrats will be running scores of young radicals like Behn in next year's midterm elections.
Next, they wince a bit as President Trump refers to "affordability" as a "con job by the Democrats." It's true the left is constantly using the term, has no real plans to reduce the cost of living, and is responsible for the horrible inflation jump in the Biden years. But they're also concerned that voters may interpret Trump as simply dismissing the stubbornly high cost of living.
Then, they get a kick out of a small push for former Vice President Al Gore to run for president again in 2028. That's not going to happen, but it gives Greg another opportunity to dust off his Gore impression. Jim suggests Gore would probably seem reasonable compared to the likely batch of candidates in 2028. Greg suspects Gore has shifted just as far left as they have.
Finally, Jim and Greg share the difficult news revealed by a good friend of the 3 Martini Lunch and how you can encourage him.
