So a guy who sold off any ethics he ever had and much of his brain, who happily passes along ridiculous debunked stories about dog-eating Haitians, who bends himself into pretzels to defend trumpish stuff already proven untrue, who has done nothing in any elective office and likely won't get a chance to because of the power-grabbing narcissist he works for is leading all match-ups with almost half the voters' support? Christ on a bike, clearly Trump personally is not the problem with the country.
Don't forget:
His invasion of Greenland;
Breaking the College Football Playoff National Championship trophy on live television;
Threatening World Cup visitors;
Starting the India-Pakistan War;
His participation in the Signalgate chat;
Killing the Pope;
His attack on Zelenskyy, etc.
Throwing trans Americans under the bus may or may not be smart general election strategy, but I don't see it helping a Dem in the primaries.

Refusing to be dragged into fringe issues isn't the same as bus-tossing. Republicans have become very good and tactics like one attributed to LBJ back when he was running for Congress. Supposedly he told his publicist to get out a rumour that his opponent had been caught having sex with a sheep. The publicist objected, saying that clearly was not true, but LBJ said "Yeah, I know - I just want to make the son of a bitch deny it."
Repugs demonized trans people, painting them as indistinguishable from pedophiles and sexual predators and then made Dems defend them. They shouldn't have taken the bait, shouldn't have let it get to be that big of an issue. But if history means anything, Dems will just keep falling into the same traps, actually trying to answer the lose-lose question "did you stop beating your wife?"

They're both more right than wrong.
It's more of a problem of messaging than message.
Pubs scream louder and more often.

CBP jackboots "coincidentally" ran a major street sweeping operation near Gavin's press conference venue with dozens of agents.
Fascism is here.
Enforcing existing immigration laws is Facism?
Breaking one or more laws to enforce another has not historically been acceptable in the former country of the United States, and usually resulted in dropped charges or acquittals. Maybe the current regime isn't 100% facist, but is clearly authoritarian in ways not consistent with historical US democratic principles.
It's hard to believe you guys used to complain about Obama "overreach"

Is SoupySales really too slow to understand that the raid where Gavin was speaking (quite well I might say) was about intimidating the Gov and his supporters rather than "Enforcing existing immigration laws", or does he just play an imbecile for our entertainment? There was NO reason for a CBP operation in that area, not a Home Depot or pot farm in sight. Those dozens of agents arrested one person, one. DOGE, where are you?
Armed massed Brown Shirts showing up at an opposition event IS fascism, duh.
If I've paid close enough attention SoupySales is around 75-80 years old, born in 1948 give or take 5 years. This means that one or more of his parents and other close relatives fought fascism, either on the battlefield, in the rear or in war industry. They would be ashamed of him.
I was trying to figure out your golf metaphor.
