32. you have to be kidding. the only reason republicans can win outside a few very red areas is Dems

let them have rw radio. it wouldn't be close - that is the reason so many red states are red

at $1000/hr 1200 stations x 15 hrs a day = $90M/WEEK - FREE! for republicans until the elections. it doesn't matter what biden and Dems say or do or how much they tweak messaging. the RW think tanks just watch for progress that threatens their interests and send out a countering PR attack to the relevant local or national radio stations (not fox directly) - for FREE. endorsed by these 87 and other universities and pro sports teams

trump, llike bush, would never have gotten close to the WH in the first place without team limbaugh making excuses for him and attacking his opponents.

and this country is full of apathetic and too-lazy voters who vote at the last minute after absorbing months of rw radio buzz dominating their states and communities, wrapped around traffic, weather, news, sports, etc, and getting it second hand from friends and co-workers etc (politiccal experts who tell them single payer is communism, regulation increases prices, global warming is a hoax, hillary is corrupt, etc) who listen intently to what limbaugh and his parrots repeat

ignoring rw radio continues to be the biggest political mistake in history
