average people who work for a living (whether white, blue collar - whatever) are not liking the crazy increasing prices of gas, groceries, housing, etc. Many were very clear when they voted for Trump that they are looking for lower prices and fewer foreign wars.

This is where you see that there really are moderates in this country and they are paying attention. And I'm good with dem or dem soc - let's pick the candidate with the best chance of winning and support them. I pray this keeps up through November.
