I asked them the question on the same thing.
Is there an asymmetrical advantage on social media content?
the whole red versus blue eco structure not just the campaigns or the party committees but their allies outside does anyone have an advantage there this is s3 please i mean who do you think has the advantage on social media again red team blue team who's got better game on social right now tick tock instagram uh facebook which is still big with voters uh linkedin who's who would you say is more creative does more to to win elections uh on social
Do you agree Republicans have the advantage on the content side of social creativity and
Yes.
I'm going to assume you both agree with me that podcast, the podcast space and video podcast space, Republicans have the advantage, right?
Yes.
Yeah.
OK.
All right.
So if you're thinking about the midterms and again, this is all part of my reporting on the midterms.
You look at history, Republicans should lose a lot of seats, lose the majority in the House, maybe in the Senate, because that's what's happened historically.
And President Trump's approval rating is at a level which normally would cause the president's party to lose a lot of seats.
But then you look there, just at that brief clip from my conversation with two political pros on campaigns.
Three asymmetrical advantages for Republicans.
Two they agreed on.
One, I'll break the tie and say Jeff Rose is right.
Republicans are better at using technology to get out the vote.
They're better on social media content.
They're better on podcasting.
