With real news and policy being talked about, Democrats win every time.

But come election time, republicans and the media will have half the country convinced that a vote for democrats is a vote for every American flag to be burned or every prisoner to be released or to completely eliminate the military.

Remember that Donnie was trailing virtually every day of the entire campaign but just for a moment, he had a shot — and that moment magically was Election Day.
