The other things I really like are:
1.) His hands on experience in the Secret Service and with investigations. His mind really does operate well in that sphere!
2.) He has great upbeat energy. I respect Mark Levin, and while sometimes I appreciate his over the top anger, too often it makes me feel that intensity of anger too, and I have my hands full keeping it under wraps without him drawing it out. Dan Bongino is generally pretty positive and upbeat.
this and the polls showing Dems up are simply part of the Dem’s November campaign. ignore.
IS long as they are happy...and losing...than i am happy for them?
But I see CNN on, because you can’t avoid it in some places, and boy, does it look like Donald Trump is living rent-free in their empty skulls...they are obsessed!
then by magic or remote telepathy, the meme arrived.
The guy was a Gope pick that Trump bailed out .
The pick in PA that lost was another Gope pick and a disaster.
I have my suspicions that Ryan , Kaisch , Jeb, ... are
trying to sabotage the midterms as many ways possible. A Trump impeachment is their dream.
I wonder if the GOPE lead by Ryan and John Kaisch are intentionally
finding the biggest losers to sabotage the midterms .
That guy made stupid gaffes and had not get out the vote program .
Did Kaisch try to set Trump up ? He is hateful and mean enough too

Good points, all.
And if the Republicans lose big in November then their tune will be pretty much the same.
So we might as well give up on the suppression angle - they won’t be suppressed - they are coming out. The only question now is whether OUR CANDIDATES understand that and use their BEST WEAPON, a Mr. Donald J. Trump, to bring out our side - because that is the ONLY variable remaining in the race. Do we bring our side out to vote (in other words have Trump barnstorming), or do we sit back and watch the Dems roll out the victories?

BobL, you have described the exact situation in even very Red Oklahoma. EVERY Dim of every sort is voting in every election from dog-catcher on up. Some of the GOPe turncoats happily join them. Things like school choice, local tax rates, and street improvements all take on an anti-TRUMP air whether Trump is involved or not. IF we don’t get all hands on deck, Novemeber could - I say could - be ugly.
But it literally is “different when we do it”.
It is very hard to make a creditable case that Republicans routinely cheat and win elections only through shenanigans.
However, it is beyond obvious that election fraud is an essential tool among Democrats all across the country.
Republicans lose and complain about the other side cheating? They have a point.
Democrats lose and complain about the other side cheating? What a joke.
Yes...what I find comical about it is that THEY at CNN simply cannot see it. They don’t have the capability to stop, stand back ten feet, and watch themobjectively.
If they could, someone would have to say “Hey...folks, I think we need to find some other topics to mix into here, like animals being released into the wild for the first time or something. This is kind of creepy.”
Of course, it is at that point everyone else in the room turns to stare, and a co-worker points, and with spittled lips and bugging eyes, shouts “HERETIC! KILL HIM!” and they all turn on him and tear the guy (who had a moment of clarity) limb from limb!
What is even funnier, though, is that I fully suspect President Trump is fully aware of the effect he has on them...likely, eating his steak and eggs in the morning, drinking coffee (as his handlers nervously look on from a distance) chuckles to himself, picks up his phone, taps out something, and with a grin, puts the phone down and resumes eating with a smile on his face, and mumbles to himself “CNN...what a bunch of dorks!”
Democrats are spinning a loss nothing more.
Here’s another thing that skews this special election: teachers. They are overwhelmingly democrat and school is out for the summer. In between watching Oprah and The View while stuffing their fat, liberal faces with Cheetos, they can easily find time in the middle of the day to vote when lines are short. Republicans work year round and face long lines before or after work.
Seems like I remember a lot of "moral victories" under Bush43. Where'd that get us?
I'll take a 'W', by one point or a million, over any 'good loss'.
And...not that my analysis is worth much...In Ohio-12, an energized Democrat with good turnout went up against a lackluster Republican with lousy turnout, and still lost. If anything, it predicts that I'll not be unhappy with the results in November.
But Conservatives can't get complacent. That's how we wound up with Obama.
Heh. You and my father.
He listens to NPR. I asked. "Dad, why do you pay attention to drivel like that?".
His reply? "The better to know my enemies." I couldn't argue with that logic.
They rejoice in winning by losing.
What is that old saying: “Keep your friends close, but...keep your enemies closer!”
Agreed 100%.
Like sports, people always say...”Your team only won by a single point against a lousy team!”
To which I say: “So what? Let THEM claim the ‘moral victory’ of having come close!”
Yes turn out WILL be up in Nov. And 87% of Dems turned out in Ohio 12 this week while only 40% of Rs did.
Higher turn out is not going to help Ds. The whole problem has been Gops voters not bothering to show up for special elections.
I hadn’t seen the 87 vs 40 before, but that speaks volumes. Do you know what the relative campaign expenditures were?
