    Trump getting shot at has helped his side’s “get out to vote” equation though.

    That’s what scares me. They’re invigorated by recent events. I don’t think they’re any larger than before, but they’re definitely more motivated now.

            I remember when Hillary’s campaign was “doing fine” too.

            The Democrats can’t afford to take the risk of trying to play it safe, not after the decade we’ve had. They need a sure thing, and that means they need to hold a primary.

            JD Vance means Trump + Republicans are doubling-down on extremism, anti-Ukraine feelings and more.

            We have a serious shot at this. Everyone stay focused, we can get through this together. The overplay of the Republicans will be on display in the coming month. But Democrats absolutely need rise to this challenge for us to stand a chance.
