Though hey I have a pretty bad record of predicting Trump stuff beyond "he's going to try to overturn the results of the 2020 election." I think I'm pretty good at sussing out macro and downballot trends but I didn't watch enough of The Apprentice to get him very well.

This phenomenon puts a ceiling on it but ultimately AI and Video Slop need writing to make them run. How many TikTok videos are just a person talking with a headline in their background? Bluesky will never be the cultural phenomenon that Twitter was but it still can inform what's taking its place.

The 2028 primary would be better if candidates attack each other hard and early so they can see how they hold up to pressure. What if Bernie had gone hard after Hillary's FBI investigation in 2016? Or Biden got a serious challenge in 2024?

1) America is not a democracy, and because it isn't, your vote in the 2028 general election will not really matter unless you live in one of a handful of states. 2) 2028 will be one of the most wide open primaries in history and there's no reason to preempt critiques of candidates on these grounds.

My default assumption for any ag-dependent community is something like 2-1 for Trump. Don't think there's much differentiation based on the commodity, though dairy is a little more Dem and ranching more GOP based on where they're located.
