7. Of course not. WE GOT HERE on "autopilot."

I know there were many passionate, committed Harris voters.

But we are also a country in which:

1). "SOME" Democrats vote a STRAIGHT BLUE TICKET
2). "SOME" Republicans vote a STRAIGHT RED TICKET
3). INDEPENDENTS choose a side or don't vote (or choose a 3rd party candidate)
4). FAR TOO MANY Americans JUST DON'T BOTHER TO VOTE

....and I have no idea what the numbers are, and especially what they'll be in 2026 or 2028. And YES, those are ALL GENERALIZATIONS. As I said, I don't have the numbers. This is just what I see from where I'm standing.

I know Democrats are going to have to step up their messaging game. And no, I don't feel I'm "bashing Dems" by saying that.

We have to WANT IT more than THEY WANT IT, and when we do, and act accordingly, we'll win.

Until then, whoever wants it most will be the ones to get it.
