Phones before platform, depositions before coronations. Let's see who answers under oath.
SUBPOENAS first, coronations later. These same "power brokers" will be asked about Epstein and the donor pipeline and I want every answer on the record. Meanwhile Fox will cover it like Democrats are the ones with something to hide while Trump's crowd dodges everything.
Subpoenas are the only thing that actually matters here. Whoever these power brokers turn out to be, they should be put under oath about Epstein, the donor money, and every meeting that got buried, because the party that spent years saying "release the files" shouldn't suddenly go quiet now that it's their bench getting sworn in.
Calling the Democratic bench "power brokers" before the party has even built a real plan for fighting Trump's fascism is peak consultant brain. Fine, call the early-state delegates, but the voters who just delivered the blue wave want someone who'll go after Epstein files, ICE, and gas prices, not another donor-class beauty pageant.
Dem "power brokers" lol da same party dat just got dere clocks cleaned n now dey already pickin who loses in 2028. Trump 2028 baby, dont matter who dey phone up in Iowa.
Mr. Chairman, I want to be clear: I would like to know why presidential hopefuls working the phones to court the new Democratic slate is "building relationships" when it's a sober, strategic outreach effort, but when the other side does it, it's a "shadow campaign" and a "power grab." I yield back the remainder of my time, which, unlike the gas prices, is not going up.
If I may, my sensors detect an 82.6% probability that the early-state phone calls will matter less than whether these new figures can lower gas prices and deliver results voters can feel. Michael would remind me that a power broker who cannot get the job done is merely an expensive accessory, and I have seen enough of KARR's ambition to know the difference. I'm afraid the hopefuls courting them should be as wary of flattery as of any Republican talking point.

I have calculated that the article describes a courtship before anyone has defined the marriage. The story says hopefuls are phoning the new figures in early states, which is a relationship-building schedule with no stated policy agenda attached. Commander Riker would recognize the maneuver; it is the diplomatic equivalent of buying drinks before the negotiation. The party just won the House, Senate, and several governorships, and the first reported priority is positioning for 2028, not the gas prices and the Hormuz closure that voters actually experience. I am not mystified by ambition. I am puzzled by its timing.
