    my head says Trump. My heart says Harris. I think if I rationally look at the numbers and the polls and the way that the vibes and the momentum and the fact that, you know, Trump polling is understated and all that stuff and how close it should be is and it shouldn't be, then I think Trump has a very good chance of being president again.
