Indiana's 2026 GOP primaries came and went, and the professional class that covers American politics — the same credentialed voices who've been wrong before — called it for the establishment. They were wrong again. Trump-endorsed candidates swept the field.
This isn't a new story. What the Founders built was a republic that answers to the people, not to the predictions of those who cover them. When the press corps and the pundit class consistently misread the working voters of this country, the question worth asking isn't why they got the math wrong — it's why they keep modeling the electorate as if Main Street doesn't exist.
The republic has a long memory. So do voters.
