As much as I despised seeing trump on the football broadcast, we should learn from that.

I nearly puked when I saw that damned felon's face during the football game last night, but in my most humble opinion Democrats need to learn to take better advantage of publicity opportunities.

I know, I know.... President Biden and most other Democrats were busy getting things done instead of seeking publicity. But sadly if the news media won't report on good things that are being done (and they won't, good news doesn't get ratings) we need to take better advantage of free publicity to get our leaders messages out there.
