Ruhle teed it up, and Jayapal dodged the question. Unless we can blame inflation on something or someone else, we're going to get clobbered. It's going to be easy for Repubs to blame it on spending, and unless we start with an effective message TODAY, we're going to lose this battle long before it's fought in earnest next year.
