Here is how the GOP beats us on every issue at the voting booth. [View all]

I had to take my daughter for a medical appointment today. It was a few miles from where she lives but between picking her up, waiting for her, driving her home and driving myself home I was in the car for about 4 hours, sometimes just riding to the nearby malls and just sitting in the shade listening to the radio. I skim around the radio when driving trying to catch the latest new, music etc. The entire time I was captive to the radio, every talk station, news station had either Trump or Johnson, Noem, Bondi or some other Trump sycophant on telling how wonderful Trump agenda was, how great he was doing with immigration, and foreign policy, how he has done what no other President has done in such a short time and how he will prove to be the greatest President in our history, how his base is loyal, how bad the Biden administration was, how the 2020 election was stolen and a slew of other lies and half-truths. All of this was packed in to the entire time I was in my car. Not one Dem was on the air or talk show to refute anything or at least to get out our message. I can see how the GOP can persuade the captive audiences driving to and from jobs, schools, and sports events. They all had their script down. The radio crowd is the crowd that seldom gets polled because they are driving.
