If GOP doesn’t start talking to folks outside their core traditional base, they will lose the house... so far they have shown they don’t even want to try to talk to the non traditional MAGA voter... and without them, they are going to lose a lot of purple and pink districts this fall.

The only hope the GOP has is the Dems so overplaying their hand that the Non traditional voters show up just to spite them.. because the GOP is not giving them a message or reason to show up

Agreed. The GOP is not Trump. THey need to start talking about supporting POTUS and his agenda or else we lose.

The left is fired up..yes its the crazies but they’ll come out strong as we’ve seen during the special elections where we’ve almost lost in solid red districts and even lost one in PA.

Trump will have to carry the GOP to victory despite themselves.

I believe we will retain congress, but I agree; it will be in SPITE of the GOP, not because of it. I read that republican turn out at primaries, has been dismal. Apparently, there are still quite a few republican voters out there who think primaries are no big deal. I sure hope they don’t shirk their duty in November, as well.

Lets look at this fact shall we Jay...

African American support for Trump today is at 36%, that is more than 3X what it has been for elections going back decades. The same is true for Hispanic voters and overall the real positive numbers in favor of Trump and his policies grows daily, the only ones saying different is the MSM

So I call you out on your premise that they are not talking to folks out of the “circle”

Even #walkaway folks who stay Democrats are not happy with their platform and intend to vote their conscience, not party

Well the apparent 36 percent of blacks approving of Trump is an encouraging sign. That’s supposedly not our “base” but it dang well should be.
