Mitch McConnell: 'I think the demonization of Ukraine began by Tucker Carlson, who in my opinion ended up where he should've been all along, which is interviewing Vladimir Putin'

Let's not forget

What @simonwdc says here about the state of polling is critically important. A good many of us have railed about the quality of recent polls and poll averages. We saw indicators, such as improper weighting across demographics, that drove flawed outcomes. Here's why:

Holy hell, I nearly forgot this diddy. Not everyone who aspires to be an elected official needs to be an expert in everything or even smart for that matter.

100000000% true

In addition to the message, by campaigning in Florida Dark Brandon is making Trump spend money he doesn't have to defend a state he won twice. That's smart politics.
