          You said it's meaningless, then you made a good point about how it means that the Dems have to be shocked into caring, I think that's very meaningful. Will the Dems scare enough people about MAGA after they've lost once?

              I can't find past "engagement" polls, just approval ones, so I can't compare differences between D and R election wins. I do think it's a good question, since Dems can never nominate an exciting candidate, will they just hope for an R goblin that scares people from now on? Romney and McCain didn't scare Dems like Trump did so it would be a new tactic

        That could be bad for obvious reasons, but I wonder if there's a chance of it leading to burnout, to.

        Honestly excited to see the roster of exciting new faces that MAGA provides for the next season of The Election.

        Picking Trump in 2016 was wacky, but he's sort of a known quantity. An established crowd favorite from way back in the 80s. President Trump was practically just a reboot of President Reagan. I'm really eager to see the more avant-garde candidates that percolated up through the ranks after 2018. Your Allen Wests and Josh Hawleys and Thomas Hicks Jrs have me excited for the future.
