Article from WaPo
the good news? reasonable voices like this will be drowned out in the frenzy of vitriol and perpetual melts from the left
2 things I will say that essentially assure that a) we keep the House and b) extend our lead in the Senate
1 - the House... the republicans implemented a BRILLIANT strategy going into the 2010 census
we made it our top priority to take over State legislatures - with the extreme motivation of overturning or minimizing Obama's pernicious policies (most notably, Obamacare) & the intensity of the republican effort - we were very successful
because of this; when new district maps were drawn; the national district maps were drawn very favorably for republicans
those districts are still in place and make it almost impossible for Democrats to pick up the 24 seats they will need to flip the lower chamber
2 - the Senate - 2018 is very favorable for Republicans; this has been discussed at length for several months...
the article & 2 points made that I was surprised to see in WaPo:
Democrats haven’t been this confident since... 2016
1:
quote:
making 2018 into a year-long referendum on Trump is a recipe for another Election Day shocker.
2:
quote:
The opponents will not all be as loopy and creepy as Roy Moore.
To turn the tide of Trumpism, Democrats need candidates and policies that speak to voters in red states and red districts
lastly - if the economy continues to improve (and I believe it will); Trump's odds of re-election are just about insurmountable
plus; a new voter, one that escapes traditional pollsters, is absolutely out there - he is motivated and encouraged & we can count on him to show up for Trump in 2020
