️️🇺🇸NYT: During a private video call involving more than two dozen senior Republican strategists, pollster-in-chief Tony Fabrizio and data consultant Tim Seller laid out scenarios ranging from manageable defeat to political wipeout.
The mood of the conversation was somber, and Fabrizio asked the other members of the conversation "Do you want the white pill first, or the black pill first? Fabrizio also jokingly advised other participants to put their affairs in order as he is.
A presentation prepared by former White House official James Blair tied Republican poll performance directly to the Iran war. He showed that the democratic advantage widens during active hostilities, shrinks during negotiations of a proposed memorandum of understanding, and increases again after the collapse of the ceasefire.
