That is how public perception works. Anyone who became the Democratic nominee between now and the election would instantly be famous. Their name would become a household name within a week. There’s no real way to prove this, but it just seems silly to think otherwise.

Most Americans do watch the news. The link below is a statistic just about cable news. If you included digital news, the numbers would be even higher. Here’s my source 👈😎 But as you can see 72% of Americans watch cable news.

I hope that helps ☺️

Right, anyone who thinks their name and the attention wouldn’t go viral overnight is clueless. It will go something like this:

BREAKING NEWS: Joe Biden to RESIGN FROM THE PRESIDENCY; ENDORSES GRETECHEN WHITMER

For 5 weeks:

MEDIA: omfg omfg omfg omfg

SOCIAL MEDIA: omfg omfg omfg omfg

MILLIONS GOOGLE:: “Who is Gretchen Whitmer!?”

OBAMA, BIDEN, DNC rally behind Whitmer

WHITMER’S POLLING & NAME-RECOGNITION: Skyrockets

At convention:

MEDIA: Omfg omfg omfg

GRASSROOTS: ENERGIZED.

Swing-voters: Happy to vote for someone young and a fresh face because we’re America and we like new less boring shit.
