Donny Downfall | Behind the Numbers with Rick & Andrew Wilson
Voters are no longer separating “the economy is bad” from “I’m doing fine." And that shift is politically lethal.

| |||||||||||||||
Inflation anxiety has crossed into personal insecurity, with falling-behind sentiment flashing red across the electorate.
Trump’s economic promises now collide with lived experience, where tariffs and healthcare costs overwhelm any tax-cut messaging.
The collapse of MAGA turnout loyalty reshapes 2026 into a turnout war, not a persuasion contest.
Rick and Andrew frame the data as something darker than a midterm slump: a structural break between narrative politics and household reality.
 |
When 44% say they’re falling behind, that’s not messaging failure—it’s a governing failure that no culture-war distraction can mask. Their point about tax cuts landing differently than in 2017 underscores how context, not policy branding, determines political payoff.
 |
The discussion of healthcare costs turning tax relief into a mirage sharpens why economic optimism isn’t bouncing back, even hypothetically. Layered onto that is a turnout collapse inside MAGA that threatens not just 2026 candidates but the entire Trump succession fantasy.

Tune in to Behind the Numbers for a data-driven look at why the political ground is shifting under Trump—and what the polling says comes next.
