They won with a convicted felon who was literally in the news every day when he was out of the White House. Brand recognition and name recognition were huge factors for him. He lied and gullible people believed his lies once again. They are now finding out. The majority of them regret their vote at least according to *all* of the polls I have seen recently.

Democrats don't need to come up with a 30-page plan they only have to say "We are not him" and "We are not them." They will win in 2026 with that message.

Mark. My. Words.
