With respect, you are deluded, ignoring recent primary numbers.

For example, that squeaker last week in Ohio — still not decided btw — should have been a walk away, by at least 20 points!

Why? Oh, GOP voters have families...it’s vacation time...it’s back-to-school time. So our voters aren’t complacent; they’re “just busy.” Whistling past the graveyard....

Not showing up to the polls, regardless of how “busy” your are, is the very definition of complacency. The Democrats have families and take vacations too, but they’re showing up.

It’s a fact that first-term presidents usually get creamed in the midterms. And President Trump has *way* more working against him than any other first-term president. So that effect will be magnified.

The best policy is to put less faith in some still-to-be-proven “Great Awakening” doing wonders, and more faith in proven GOTV efforts that deliver real votes.

Too much hangs in the balance!


Your concern is noted, kevao. I will trust President Trump’s military intelligence when they say the midterms are safe. By that I figure they mean on a national scale, where someone for example, in the Cayman Islands cannot manipulate voting machines on a grand scale.

Now, there probably will be some in local dem pockets where it’s happened before but dems already hold those. We can visit that election corruption when President Trump gets more MAGA politicians and judges in. President Trump already has his people in Homeland Security to monitor the situations.

With more fairer elections, the MAGA enthusiasm (and many things I mentioned in my last post to you) running against the other sides Hate agenda, I like our chances. I understand being a little concerned but I caution on over-blowing it to the point you appear to be a concern troll.

First term presidents get creamed in the midterms when they’ve SCREWED UP BIGLY the first two years. Reagan had problems, but there was a sharp and necessary recession his first two years. Clinton and 0-bama lost big time, again because they SCREWED UP BIG TIME!
