#1 If you look at the last 2 Presidential election cycles (2020 & 2024) the candidate who campaigns less is leading. Biden sits in the basement and Trump sits in court..

#6 The Maverick Move to Independent is pure theater. It will be followed by several meaningless little departures from the dem playbook, with huge press notice, to highlight his new-found integrity and centrism. All it actually does is once again increase the pricetag, the amount of graft required for the dems to buy his votes when really needed.
