I understand being a little concerned about all that but there is way too many good things happening for the dems to take back power.

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!

Sod off, swampy. Ohio is the land of GOP Never-Trumpets, and the Congressman there was behind until Trump showed up... he clearly didn’t want Trump on the stage with him. And the Dems did full voter fraud (all those 117-year olds voting).. and in a low-turnout primary... AND THEY STILL LOST. How *insistent* are you to dispirit the GOP and turn people from Q’s revelations?

Wisconsin just experienced similar primaries where in the governor’s primary, the Dems had 81,000 more votes for 8 candidates than the republicans did for Scott Walker....Walker might be in trouble.

SLIDE to the left, SLIDE to the right. Now walk it back, walk it back. Doing the Q Shuffle (to get off topic).

“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.”

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.
