The optics and messaging for 2026 may not pan out the way the Republicans reckon. $20B to Argentina for beef while ranchers here are hurting from tariffs, Trump wanting $200+ million in "damages" while servicemembers are forced to do their duty without a paycheck, an undeclared war in the Caribbean, I'm seeing a lot of chinks that a good campaign manager could exploit.
