HEADLINE: REP. MASSIE POLLS AHEAD IN KENTUCKY — GOP ESTABLISHMENT IN FULL RETREAT

Executive Summary: In a seismic shift, Rep. Thomas Massie is now polling ahead of his primary challenger by 14 points. His anti-establishment, fiscal hawk stance is resonating with voters tired of D.C. business-as-usual. This signals a major headache for leadership and a clear mandate for spending restraint. The window for compromise just slammed shut.
