up until now, the media has only been treating ron desantis and donald trump as the two serious candidates. a couple months ago, most americans had no idea who vivek ramaswamy was. now almost everybody knows husband name. so ron desantis has to be nervous now. he got kind of unlucky with that question about mike pence. he really didn t want to answer that question. his answer on that one was really wishy washy. vivek got to avoid that question and that really helped him in a big way. that is not a question that is beneficial to the these candidates politically who are hoping to appeal to trump supporters. you know i regard you as a trump whisperer. so let me ask you. today s poll question. the mug shot, how does it play politically for trump? a net gain or net minus or something else? a little oit of both.
