Agreed - while each race will have its individual issues and personalities, the key for the Republicans is to nationalize the election as the Dems are doing and make it about policy , reminding voters how disastrous a return to Dem rule would be . Socialist policies and a return to open borders would be a disaster.
Yes. Right now, just getting 1,000 more people to the polls in just 20 House districts wins Congress. We have no one to blame but ourselves if we fail.
The focus on socialism instead of policy is stupid. For a lot of poeple it's a feature. Do you know anyone that wants to give up their Social Security because it's socialism?Instead of shrieking "they're socialists" there should be ads that show the Biden border w thousands of people living on the sidewalks & the current sidewalks and simply ask "do you want that back?" Even those that like socialism would say "No!"
👏👏👏 A very good article by George Rasley! The Democrats’ demoralization campaign is in full swing. But it won’t work as Republican voters are fired up and independents, moderates and Reagan Democrats are scared to death of the DSA. Do they seriously think candidates like crazy James Talarico, Abdul El-Sayed who supports gender-affirming care for minors, hates Israel and pals around with terrorist supporter Hasan Piker, Francesca Hong who said let’s cancel Thanksgiving (who thankfully lost), Angie Nixon who’s running for the Senate while being a member of an organization that wants to get rid of it, Peggy Flanagan who wore a t-shirt that said protect Trans kids that had a gun on it implying she would shoot anyone who disagreed with her, and many others is going to help them take back Congress? They’ve absolutely lost their minds! The DSA’s goal is Communism they’ve publicly said so! They want to abolish the Senate, abolish the police, abolish prisons, replacing the presidency and the Supreme Court, completely defunding the defense department, ending arms shipments to Ukraine as they fight the last true empire in the world, Russia, free housing for all, public ownership of major industries, and to abandon and vilify the free and democratic state of Israel. The Democrats have joined forces with those people. I can only imagine what the Democrats of yesteryear like Al Smith, FDR, Harry S. Truman, Cordell Hull, Sam Rayburn, LBJ, Mike Mansfield, John McCormack, Carl Hayden, JFK, RFK, Ted Kennedy, Eleanor Roosevelt, Hubert Humphrey, Fred Harris, George McGovern, Birch Bayh, Mo Udall, Edmund Muskie, Sargent Shriver, Mario Cuomo, Barbara Jordan, Shirley Chisholm, John Lewis, Pat Schroeder, and Walter Mondale would think of this bunch? They’d probably roll over in their graves. Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson would be absolutely dumbfounded at what the Democratic Party had become if they were alive today!
The Republicans are in a much stronger position. Historically the odds may be against them. But they can tout President Trump’s many accomplishments, the Democrat’s gerrymandering plans all got slapped down by the courts, they’ve done nothing in the past two years other than oppose Trump and whine and complain, the DSA is kryptonite to 77% of voters, and the GOP’s candidates look sane compared to many of the candidates they’re running. What have the Democrats been doing for the past two years other than whining, crying, throwing temper tantrums, calling Trump every name in the book, calling Elon Musk a Nazi, attacking ICE agents, kissing up to criminals, accusing Israel of genocide, heckling the President during the state of the union, doing performative protests, not standing for a boy D.J. Daniel who survived brain cancer, and embracing progressives and socialists. They want to get rid of the police, get rid of prisons, abolish all our major institutions, sterilize children, cut Ukraine and Israel off, make nice with dictators and terrorists, think America deserved 9/11, somehow give everybody free housing, nationalize all our major industries, raise taxes through the roof, have city-run grocery stores, hate Jews, Zionists, white men, conservatives, and pro-lifers, and think the fall of the USSR was one of the greatest tragedies in history. Why on Earth would anyone want to vote for them? The DSA don’t take after our founding fathers or Abraham Lincoln, they take after Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Heinrich Himmler, Joseph Goebbels, Herman Georing, Erich Honecker, Janos Kadar, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Saddam Hussein, Muhammar Gaddafi, Hafez and Bashar Al-Assad, and Gamal Abdel Nasser.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has been making America a much better country to live in. He just closed the deal for a tripartite pact with Greenland and Denmark, sent man back to the moon with Artemis II, got the Gaza Peace Plan done, wiped out taxes on tips, overtime and Social Security, created the Golden Dome Missile Defense System, is currently giving the Islamic Republic a thrashing, arrested Nicolas Maduro and secured the biggest oil fields on Earth for the free world, gave Ukraine billions in aid to keep up the fight against Russia, has been a staunch friend to Israel, bombed the Houthis in Yemen into submission, expelled China from the Panama Canal, secured the friendship of India and Indonesia, secured all the major strategic choke points to box in China, secured the Southern Border, locked up numerous cartel bosses, killed El Mencho, shut down the flow of Fentanyl across the border, got the NATO members to start being responsible adults by raising defense spending and increasing the size of their militaries, saved us fifty billion dollars with the DOGE, got food and drink dyes we shouldn’t be consuming banned, appointed one of the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration as head of the NIH, fixed the Childhood Vaccine Schedule, killed the Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei, removed junk food from being eligible from the SNAP program, appointed Marco Rubio as Secretary of State who has proven to be one of the best ever in his position, brought down crime, rescued American and Israeli hostages, ended eight wars, made peace between Israel and Lebanon, destroyed Iran’s nuclear facilities, banned gender-affirming care for minors, sent DEI packing, protected women’s sports, cut taxes, cut a historical trade with Europe, fed millions of hungry people in Gaza with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, honored Charlie Kirk posthumously with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, is building the luxurious White House Ballroom, restored Mount McKinley’s rightful name, put Robert E. Lee’s portrait back up at West Point, reformed the military and achieved record recruitment levels, deported over three million illegal immigrants, passed the Laken Riley Act and the Big Beautiful Bill Act, and restored the Civil War Reconciliation Monument at Arlington National Cemetery.
a) The psyop is also, in part, to motivate Democrats (giving them - God willing a false hope - that they have a shot at taking one or both sides of Congress).
b) A lot of (the genuinely) conservative media is, thankfully, beating the drum about needing to vote and, e.g., to disregard the rigged polls. (Can't speak to what Fox News is saying these days - stopped watching it after the 2020 coup d'etat, when it became inarguable that it was controlled-opposition aligned with the UniParty / Deep State.)
c) IF the current administration is successful in materially reducing the degree of election fraud, we have a genuine shot at achieving that "red wave" we were supposed to have in 2018*;
d) *Which 2018 "red wave" I believe occurred, but was nullified by fraud and Fox News AND REPUBLICAN complicity. (I believe that Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell deliberately worked to throw the midterms, in part by deliberate inaction aimed at demoralizing the Republican base. The SAME playbook that Thune and most of the Republican officeholders have attempted this cycle.)
e) Part of the evidence for the Republicans "deliberately trying to throw" the midterms these is the apparently MIA status of the RNC (once again). Supposedly flush with money, it should be blanketing the airwaves with ads BRANDING the Democrat Party with the persons and positions of the DSA ... wrapping that "big tent" right around their collectiv(ist) necks.
It appears that the RNC is doing NOTHING but sharing donor lists with favored data brokers and "consultants" to blanket us all with texts and emails asking for yet more money - a huge GRIFT rather than a political party seeking to decisively win a midterm; blowing what is perhaps a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
An event, ongoing in America, on the way to the coming election, is proving that far too many Americans(? Millions) have been so ill-educated, and dumbed down, that they believe Socialism should be the acceptable form for America’s government! That proves my contention that, contrary to the claim made by the media, network talking heads, and politicians, that the “American people are not Stupid” the ‘American people are quite STUPID!’ Certainly, that element participating in that thing called ‘The American Electorate,’ who continue to vote that ‘former’ Democrat, now Communist, Party are STUPID to insanity! As Ripley would say, “BELIEVE IT OR NOT.”
It’s hard to believe opinion of DSA candidates is so negative, especially when they have been so successful at driving businesses and citizens out of Oregon, likely reducing Oregon’s congressional representation.
They're very successful in overwhelmingly blue states. Doesn't mean they couldn't succeed elsewhere. That's a turnout issue, and that's on us. Each of us.
Interesting that home prices are falling, yet we have rising interest rates. Another rate hike would be a horrible trick at election time. Talk about demoralization! Republicans are going to the polls no matter what happens to vote against the democrat’s agenda of socialism.

Agreed on all points. The RNC remains a disaster. And 2018 was a test run for 2020.

Help us, Jesus! Open the eyes of the deceived, get Christian voters to the polls and honor the prayers of your people to save America. 🇺🇸 🙏🙏🙏
