it's funny how like the Platner affair has people backing a candidate who is widely to the left of them because they think it's the woke mob pushing him out

I mean, this is the whole problem, isn't it? A party rooted in the liberal, cosmopolitan parts of the country can't win outside of them, but you also can't not have a party rooted in those regions because that's a huge and influential part of the country.
Sneak peek of our newest poll, to be released Monday:
- Zohran is startlingly unpopular nationally, and is doing worse than AOC/Newsom — and his numbers are far worse than AOC's ever were, including in 2018.
- Schumer probably gets clobbered by AOC in 2028.

Odds are this aggressively did not happen. But it would of course be just as unconstitutional to spend money donated to the government without a duly enacted appropriation as it is to spend tax money that way.
Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."
