Ever noticed that every time the republicans look like they are doomed, immediately something progressively more implausible happens that swings the vote? And that it's usually fake or blown out of proportion by media? This looks like just the most recent of a long list of ridiculous but effective marketing operations like the pizza gate.

Were the republicans doomed? It seemed to me republicans were doing very well in the race.

They weren't wanting to talk about project 2025. Now there's a different conversation to have, kind of.

Yeah but honestly the 2025 conversation really blew up as a result to a reversal from the Biden debate. They probably were just hoping to ignore it.

It's been a pretty awful dead heat of general undesirables from both parties. It looks like it's gonna be the hardest devout vs though and see where the center sways....
