Instead of sitting there and getting their questions swatted down by North Korea propagandist, KKKaroline, they need to band together in asking hard follow ups, & be ready to ALL walk out together when she lies.
Elon cost Schimel votes, and caused occasional voters to cast a ballot.

Republicans have underperformed in every election since 2018, including 2024 (excluding Trump).
And Trump has even more voters locked in based on personality than Obama did.
Look at how GOP nominees for Senate did in Arizona, Nevada, and Michigan.
He does most of the things he does because the people who helped him get elected are setting the agenda.
It’s about the folks that don’t bother to show up. A compelling story, the truth, told incessantly, will get through to people. Hope springs eternal!
