even consider voting for Trump. Everyone thought AG Garland was our savior, he has totally failed.
Then we heard the 14th Amendment would stop him, that failed. Now everyone is hoping Trump will be
found guilty in NY. There is a chance of about 1 in 12 that will happen. Another great hope was the SOTU
speech, Biden got a bump out of that but is still tied or behind in the battleground states. Just yesterday
I read an editorial that said Biden is the most unpopular president in the last 70 years, how can that be?
Every month we hear, "It is early these polls don't matter". Well, those months keep passing by and eventually
they will matter. I don't know what will work but something in the campaign strategy needs to change.
