    Should Democrats be concerned about the possibility of Trump winning? Yes. Anyone who didn’t learn from 2016 is an imbecile.

    That said, polls a year before the election-and therefore a year before we plaster the airwaves with a billion $+ in advertising, before Trump is a convicted felon, aren’t worth much. We also should have learned from the “RED WAVE!!1!” fantasies of 2022.

      This is an incredibly important point. Rupert knows why, but the media want you to believe that Trump is far more popular than he actually is. They are invested in the drama, which drives engagement. They should be focused on the fact that he’s embroiled in a RIDICULOUS number of court cases and how no one should be taking him seriously as a function of that. If that was the message they were repeating 24/7, his polling would be at 25%.
