CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 6, 2026
ABDUL AL-SAYED BARELY WON THE DEMOCRAT NOMINATION FOR SENATE IN MICHIGAN, BUT THOSE VOTING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TOTALED MORE THAN VOTED FOR HIM. WILL THOSE OTHERS STAY HOME IN NOVEMBER OR HOLD THEIR NOSES AND VOTE FOR SAYED? REPUBLICAN MIKE ROGERS IS IN A STRONG POSITION TO WIN, BUT AS USUAL IT DEPENDS ON ENTHUSIASM AND TURNOUT.
IN MICHIGAN’S 7TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, VOTERS CHOSE A DSA CANDIDATE OVER TWO LESS LIBERAL ONES. ONCE AGAIN, THE LOSERS RACKED UP MORE VOTES THAN THE WINNER.
VOTERS ARE FRUSTRATED. POLLS SHOW THEY ARE DISGUSTED WITH BOTH PARTIES. THEN THERE’S THE WAR WITH IRAN, SPENDING BILLIONS WE DON’T HAVE AND DIMINISHING OUR SUPPLY OF WEAPONS.
WHAT IS THE REAL PROBLEM? WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF THE WAR, BLAME GOES TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE COMPLAINING THE MOST. THEY VOTED FOR THESE PEOPLE. IF THEY DON’T LIKE THE OUTCOME, VOTE THEM OUT AND VOTE IN OTHERS WHO WILL ATTACK THE DEBT, AMONG OTHER THINGS. THAT’S WHAT THE DSA CANDIDATES ARE TRYING TO DO, BUT THEIR APPROACH IS FAR TOO RADICAL AND WOULD RUIN THE COUNTRY.
POLITICIANS MAKE PROMISES AND DON’T FULFILL THEM. MAYBE IT’S TIME TO PUT LESS FAITH IN THEM AND MORE FAITH IN OURSELVES. I’M CAL THOMAS.
