David RothschildMainstream Media’s coverage of 2022 was even more absurdly pro-Republican than 2016 (1) I had no problem reading the same polls as Mainstream Media and seeing Democrats likely to beat raw average and compete for 51 seats …
Republicans value cheerleading, even if cheerleading horserace coverage not helpful, thus Republican pollsters flooded raw averages w/ Republican-biased polls to prove their loyalty, then Mainstream Media demanded Republicans would beat that biased average: to prove their loyalty
Metrognome@DavMicRot So you acknowledge that hugely inflated expectation was an albatross-sized problem round the GOP's neck?
Maybe letting the GOP drink its own Kool-Aid is a good strat, in a Napoleonic "don't-stop-your-enemy-when-they're-committing-errors" sort of way.
