This election kind of reminds me of the 2022 Arizona election. Katie Hobbs was supposed to be cooked especially after she refused to debate. That was the whole narrative. Then when the votes were counted, she won.
Republicans understand better than Democrats that Trump will say what he has to to win. Even though they hate Trump they still show up and vote. Democrats make it all about morals and purity and that's why they didn't show up for Hilary. Trump isn't going to lose from his extreme base.
I'm sure Trump can be more moderate with a wink and a nod to the extreme right. They understand better than Democrats how to win elections and don't get bogged down in purity contests.
Kid Rock was always a fraud. The guy grew up on a million dollar estate in northern Macomb County but pretended to be some poor inner city hip hop artist. Can take the kid out of exurbs but can't take the exurbs out of the kid.
Good because the Democrats have solutions and voters blame Republicans.
