8. A little worried, are they?

Holding an official pep rally later this year tells me one thing, that their internal polling, the ones that Trump says are the real polls, portent doom for the party in November.

The question now is, will it help? Will the American voters see the pomp and balloon drops and forget about the economy, Epstein, and armed soldiers patrolling the streets? Will they ignore the lunacy and incompetence of RFK Jr, ICE Barbie, and Greg Bovino?

I think that depends on the Democrats. We have to hammer them on their faults and awaken the voters before November. Make them look past the back slapping rallies and cable news appearances and vote with their heads, not their hearts.
