If you like overblown stories, tune into the meidastouch network.

I think the former is far less harmful, albeit I do not want propaganda and unrealistic expectations to drive our strategy now, especially with an eye on 2026. Still, I think MT does a service in keeping many motivated. A middle ground, might be nice...

Nevermind, her 3 point Iowa poll lead and the Ohio poll showing trump with a vanishing lead.
The headlines they use also always spell gloom and doom for trump, when nothing ever happens to him.
