Episode Details

I believe my colleagues are making a big mistake believing contradictory and selective polling data. They assume we can just run the clock out on the election, pick zero policy fights, and win big in November. I analyze election results and polling data to show how Democrats are still more likely to win, and the reason is because Republicans have failed to use leverage points to harness national attention on Biden’s unpopular policies. Rather than avoiding policy fights, Republicans need to embrace them precisely right before the election. Immigration and crime are two easy ones. Later on, I show how the FBI is cooking the books on crime data to pretend that crime is dropping, when in fact, every suburban voter knows it is increasing. If only we had a party focused on these issues rather than soap opera nonsense.
