When Donald Trump came down the escalator in Trump Tower in 2015, most Republicans knew instinctively that he would be a different kind of candidate. He immediately called out the people coming across the southern border illegally for what they were, not Mexico's or anyone else's best. That made the tops of liberals' heads come off, but it was that no BS, not being afraid to call Democrat and leftist failures what they were. But Trump also spawned something else: a whole new breed of conservative politician. The latest is Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt.

What makes Spencer Pratt different? Well, for one thing, of course, he is living out decades-old failed Democrat policies, enacted by incompetent, failed Democrat politicians. It has left him, his wife and children, and thousands of others homeless. And because of that failed one-party bureaucracy, they are still homeless a year later. Pratt is not running for mayor as a stepping stone to a larger office; he is running because he has nothing left to lose. It is the last, greatest action he can take against the failed California Democrat machine.
No one had ever seen a candidate like Donald Trump, and no one has ever seen a candidate like Spencer Pratt. His campaign ads are genius. Each is better than the one before it. In the latest ad, Pratt has gone to what looks like Skid Row, armed with a stencil and a power washer. The result: a message that reads, "Imagine if the streets were this clean. Spencer Pratt for Mayor of LA."
Like Trump, Spencer Pratt is done being polite. He is not afraid to call out the bull cookies that California Democrats have been feeding the residents of Los Angeles for years, even though they are the ones who voted for them. And while Mayor Karen Bass is trying to keep that one-party rule in power to fail some more, Pratt is running a non-partisan race and says, "I'm supposed to represent all of Los Angeles. That's my party, angry Angelinos."

Spencer Pratt does something else that Donald Trump continues to do. That is, scare the daylights out of "establishment" Republicans. After 11 years of Trump being in politics, and the American people speaking loud and clear about what they think of Trump and his America First agenda in 2024, there is still a wing of the GOP that is convinced that on January 20, 2029, as Trump boards the plane that will take him back to Mar-a-Lago, things in the Republican Party will go back to "normal." Normal meaning Republicans will revert to the Mitt Romney "lose with honor" way of doing things. Not a chance.
Spencer Pratt is the result of Donald Trump. But he is not the end result; he is just the beginning. Trump and Pratt, after him, are ushering in a new age of no-nonsense candidates who are not afraid of Democrats and have no problem shouting their dismal records from the rooftops, or the pile of burnt rubble that used to be their house, and they will build on what Trump started. Whether Pratt wins or loses, there will be many more on the way just like him.
For the good people of Los Angeles, I truly hope that Spencer Pratt wins. But if he doesn't, the Republican National Committee should snatch him up to be in charge of campaign ads.
