There was nothing coy about Rob Finnerty’s assessment this week — on his primetime Newsmax program he made plain what millions of Americans already feel: Democrats are directionless and rattled, scrambling for familiar names while their message collapses under its own contradictions. The network’s primetime lineup and the guests Finnerty fields have become a consistent mirror of conservative voters’ frustration, and that frustration is exactly what he hammered home Thursday night.
Look where the party is digging for answers: Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, and Pete Buttigieg are being trotted out as the next supposed saviors of a party that is losing its footing. National polling and the early 2028 chatter show Democrats circling those familiar names because they don’t have a compelling new message or leadership bench to inspire voters — they’re buying marquee branding, not ideas.
That’s not leadership — it’s panic. Newsom’s flirtation with a national bid, Harris’s decades-long tenure without delivering durable results, and Buttigieg’s technocratic, media-friendly posture are placeholders, not platforms, and the people smell it. Democrats keep recycling these figures while ignoring real-world failures in jobs, crime, and education that ordinary families live through every day.
Meanwhile, President Trump’s impact on American politics remains undeniable and energizing for conservatives; he’s not just a candidate, he’s the central force reshaping the terrain and forcing Democrats to react rather than lead. That reality has consolidated Republican energy and given GOP leaders a clearer lane to focus on the issues that matter — border security, inflation relief, and restoring public safety — while the left argues about procedure and optics.
Now, some will point to polls showing Democrats with pockets of enthusiasm, and they should be taken seriously — but enthusiasm alone doesn’t translate into governing competence, and it sure doesn’t answer why Democrat-run states are experiencing crises of their own making. Recent surveys reveal a volatile electorate and razor-thin margins that make this a fight worth winning if conservatives stay organized, focused, and unapologetic about results.
Conservative Americans should take Finnerty’s warning as a rallying cry, not a victory lap. We must keep pressing the case for common-sense governance, call out Democratic leadership failures wherever they appear, and build a positive conservative agenda that delivers for hardworking families. If Republicans hold the line on principles and prioritize the kitchen-table issues, the spectacle of a panicked left looking to the same old names will be exposed for what it is — a party spiraling because it lost touch with the country.
