    Polls had zero impact on that decision. It was 100% threats of campaign money stopping from the donor class that made the call.

      Yes, it’s true that donors sometimes prefer giving money to candidates who have an actual chance of winning.

      Notice how none of these Democrats or donors seem be saying “hmm, why don’t we just steal it again like in 2020 and save our money!”, whereas for Trump stealing tge election seems to be the only thing he ever put actual genuine effort into while in office.
