    I think it’s bad strategy that Donald has embraced the Biden/Harris playbook and just decided to outright ignore the affordability crisis.

    Red, Blue, doesn’t matter. I don’t think the cultist mentality of some will be enough to carry MAGA to victory in 2026 because you can’t propagandize around millions being unable to afford their rent and put food on the dinner table, as Biden/Harris learned in 2024. Back then, Donald was the candidate of change. This time around, he and the people he endorses will be the candidates of starvation.

      He was never going to help with that. He doesn’t need voters anymore. So the house goes blue in 2026. Who cares? He can still grift and tariff and make billions off market swings and back room deals.
