"This is the same old smear campaign we’ve seen before. Maybe people needed something to use as a vehicle for other messages in this text about how everything is supposedly so bad. But just the other day, at a meeting with the parliamentary faction, the president said we need to focus on the six months leading up to November—that’s the timeframe," he noted.
