Watch now   Ask the Editor-in-Chief: Impeach Trump? Fetterman Problem? GOP Flop?! Ron Answers – 8/31/26 Ron Filipkowski and Capitol Hill correspondent Pablo Manríquez take subscriber questions on the week's biggest stories Ron Filipkowski, Pablo Manríquez, and MeidasTouch Network Aug 31 ∙ It’s Monday, and that means it’s time for another episode of Ask the Editor in Chief. As always, this week MeidasTouch Capitol Hill reporter Pablo Manríquez sits down with Editor in Chief Ron Filipkowski to tackle five questions submitted by members of the Meidas+ community. Thank you to all our subscribers who sent their questions in as comments to Ron’s daily bulletins! This week’s questions covered everything from the Democrats’ strategy toward Donald Trump and the potentially future role of John Fetterman in the Senate to Ron DeSantis’ political future, campaign donations, and the Republican Party’s latest election messaging. To get access to exclusive insights from MeidasTouch’s experts in segments like this, be sure to join as a paid subscriber. Here’s a quick summary of what Pablo and Ron discussed, and be sure to watch the full segment above. Why are Democratic leaders backing away from impeaching Trump? Ron explains why he actually agrees with Democratic leaders who say impeachment should not be the priority if Democrats regain control of the House. His argument: A third impeachment that has virtually no chance of producing a Senate conviction could allow Trump to revive his favorite political role, the victim. Instead, Ron argues Democrats could inflict far more damage through aggressive congressional oversight, investigations, subpoenas and public hearings examining everything from Trump’s business dealings and crypto ventures to Epstein and abuses inside the regime. What happens if Democrats have a one-seat Senate majority? And what does John Fetterman do? With an extremely narrow Democratic Senate majority a real possibility, readers ask what happens if control effectively comes down to…John Fetterman. Ron discusses Fetterman’s increasingly, uh, unpredictable politics, whether he plans to seek reelection and why his future intentions could become enormously consequential if Democrats control the chamber by a single seat. What’s next for Ron DeSantis, and could the Hope Florida scandal derail him? Ron, who spent years inside Florida Republican politics, offers his assessment of DeSantis’ apparent positioning for a 2028 presidential campaign and explains why he believes the Hope Florida controversy could continue haunting both Ron and Casey DeSantis. He also breaks down the growing signs that DeSantis is positioning himself against JD Vance and why Donald Trump could remain one of DeSantis’ biggest obstacles in another Republican presidential primary. Where should you donate if you actually want to help Democratic candidates? Ron has a very clear answer: Give directly to the candidates you care about. He explains how joint fundraising arrangements and PACs can divert portions of contributions elsewhere and argues that small-dollar donors can often have an especially large impact by giving directly to candidates in state and local races. Why is the GOP’s “anti-communism” strategy falling flat? Finally, our readers asked why Republicans’ attempt to make “communism” a defining campaign issue appears to be struggling. Badly. Ron argues that Trump and Republican leaders are reaching for an outdated political playbook because their other messages aren’t breaking through. While he says the strategy has created some friction within the Democratic coalition, he predicts it will ultimately fail as an electoral message, especially in the midst of all the Trump chaos that is being felt by just about every American. Those are just the highlights. Watch the full episode above for Ron and Pablo’s complete discussion of all five questions. And keep submitting your questions in the comments under Ron’s Daily Bulletin. Ron says the response has become so strong that narrowing the submissions down to just five questions each week is getting increasingly difficult. Some of the questions that didn’t make this episode may even get addressed in his Wednesday podcast of UNCOVERED with co-host Anthony Davis.
