It is always difficult to run against Santa Claus promising free stuff to voters.
And especially when the Elves (State Controlled Media) hold the bag open and help dispense the gifts for Santa.
Yup, the media is practically a wholly owned subsidiary of the Dem Party, not mention the unions, the schools, the universities, Hollyweird, and illegal immigration continues to supply an endless stream of government dependents and voters for the Democrat Party. We go into battle completely screwed on all sides.
