“positive economic news”

Meat prices and everything skyrocketed, and haven’t come down, gas prices sky high still (still $4.60 where we are), as Biden tries to force them off gasoline and onto electric vehicles that cost what a house did not so many years ago, medicine prices sky high, on and on it goes, but only a liberal OR fox News could spin that as “positive economic news”

A Potential Republican Club Midterm Strategy – Nationalize the January 2021 Georgia Outcome

August 22, 2022 | sundance | 162 Comments

Acceptance is the first step.

• If we accept or acknowledge the RNC and DNC are private corporations, existing like all other corporations to the fulfilment of their for-profit charter, to make money; and
• If we accept or acknowledge their business model is structured around people and businesses giving them money; and
• If we accept or acknowledge that in the process of raising money their interests may or may not align with the goal of those contributing to the business; and
• If we accept the history that Mitch McConnell and the RNC worked purposefully to remove the influence of the Tea Party; then
• This factually accurate statement from Steve Deace takes on a new meaning:
• (LINK)

[…] “the GOP (club) would rather lose to Democrats than lose control of the [club] to it’s base.”  Electability boils down to the right kind of approved candidate.

That is an accurate context for this midterm election cycle. Factually, the income stream for the RNC improves if they have the ability to campaign against the opposition club.  The larger the outrage, the more substantial the fundraising.  The corporation makes more money in defeat, or in the minority, than it does when it wins or holds majorities.

As a result, there is a disconnect between the financial incentive of the corporation and the expressed intent of the corporation. When the RNC club wins, they have a more difficult time raising money, because people who previously contributed are now looking for results.

Combine that business model reality, with the accurate statement from Steve Deace about the club perspective of MAGA, and you begin to see the weird dynamic that surfaced in Georgia in the first week of January 2021.  Did the club want to win the two senate races?  Or was the club content to let deflated Trump voters see a lackluster club response to the 2020 election issues in Georgia, a frustration which led to wins by the opposition?

The same dynamic is established now.  Senator Mitch McConnell and the GOP club corporate donors are not happy with the unapproved candidates winning many of the 2022 primary contests.  They are not hiding their disdain, nor are they hiding their shift in midterm expectations as a result of their desire to see the unapproved republican candidates defeated.

However, there is a more looming scenario that we have been discussing.

As we have seen from their non-response to the FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, the GOP club would not be disappointed to see the DOJ take down Donald Trump prior to the midterm elections.

In a national version of the Georgia result, there would likely be widespread voter anger and frustration, if the DOJ indict President Trump and the republican leadership pull the Ron DeSantis routine and stay hidden and silent.

The GOP gets rid of the issue of Donald Trump, and a 25% drop in MAGA voter turnout – the result of anger and disenfranchisement – leads to overwhelming victories for Democrats in the midterms.  The result, both Donald Trump and MAGA are essentially removed from the RNC/GOP structure.  Nothing would make that group happier than to return to the status quo of controlled and approved party candidates. 

[Insert Ron DeSantis here]

In the biggest of big pictures, the important issues for the club to control surround trade, finance and economic policy.  There are trillions at stake. The multinationals and Wall Street in general would both benefit from the elimination of a political movement based on America-First national economic policy (ie. Main Street USA).

The common bond amid all of the diversity within the Trump coalition is the working-class economic connection.  No other republican politician of significance has any national economic outlook unfavorable to the multinational corporations who finance the club priority.  The only economic nationalist in the republican party is Donald Trump.  Remove him and the America-First policy is removed with him.

Let us also not be naïve or intellectually dishonest with each other.  The decision on whether to indict or not indict Donald Trump is going to be made by Democrats and Republicans alike.  Personally, I worry that decision has already been made, sometime around early June when the DOJ first inspected the documents at Mar-a-Lago, as part of a larger collaborative midterm strategy, noted above.

The picture would essentially be, have the DOJ remove Donald Trump; have the republican leadership do nothing except express faux outrage at the outcome; and then watch as a blue wave midterm election benefits both Democrat and Republican clubs.

Democrats advance their radical agenda, republicans gnash their teeth and fundraise off the radical agenda, and the 2024 presidential candidates pull out the fainting couches, gasp in horror, bewilderment and outrage over the events, while reminding the republican base that supporting law enforcement, and following the constitution, means sitting quietly and voting harder…

…. cue Ron DeSantis.

Karl Rove: These six talking points can help Republicans win in November

[laconic]

Fox ain’t showing what the most reliable polls are Richard Baris, Trafalgar, Rasmussen - that the Rs have a 2 to 5 point advantage nationwide, that Vance is ahead of Ryan by 2 -8 points, that Herschel Walker is just a couple of points behind Warnock, that Masters is within 3 of Kelly, that Laxalt is ahead of Cortes-Masto by 2. Fox has been consistently wrong, from preelection presidential polls showing Biden with a wide lead over Trump in 2020, to calling the House for Pelosi with a widened margin when the Rs picked up 17 seats.

[LS]

No, not really. As I said when Republicans were “Up 10” in the generic, that wouldn’t last at that level because it reflected faceless candidates v. Biteme. Once you put personalities and faces to races, they change.

Still, Trafalgar now has the GOP back to +3 in the generic, and three months is a LONG time for the Rutabaga to keep it together without major, major America-hating screwups. I think by election day he’ll be back in the 33-35% range with the generic back over 4, maybe 5-6. And I still think we get 40 seats in the House, take the Senate by 1.

[Vaduz]

Democrats’ midterm chances appear to improve.

Everybody wants to keep the misery going for two more years huh Moe.

[FryingPan101]

Yep. It’s exactly what I want. “Legislative success” from Democrats. 🤨 From anyone. Leave me alone. Go spit shine your cuff links. 😑☕️

[Midwesterner53]

Rasmussen just published a poll last week saying the GOP had reopened a 5 point congressional lead.

[roving]

Bought a pizza last night. It used to cost $11 now its $15. Their idea of a good economy sucks

[dfwgator]

Assume we’re losing, or at least act like it. No time for complacency.

[fwdude]

A lot of it isn’t BS. Republicans are just downright stupid, not capitalizing on Dems insanity, failure on the core issues that matter. Tucker was right.

The Stupid Party is squandering a certain victory yet again.

[dforest]

This propaganda is done for one reason only. It is to prime the pump for mid term fraud. The have to get the belief in people’s minds that wins for RATs is what was always predicted.

Setting up the cheat to be believed is what this is.

[1Old Pro]

LOL, spin MSM spin.

Yep, the dejected, sullen, depressed, dour, unenthusiastic beaten down Dem base needs a bone. Let's tell them the races are tightening and give them some hope and spark and inspire them that there is a chance they could win. Kinda like what Zalensky is doing in the worldwide media.

[spokeshave]

bump in polls, Democrats' midterm chances appear to improve

That would be a "Dead Cat Bounce"

(on wet cement)

Don’t trust Foxnews polling.

Fixed it.

Get ready for another big stockmarket downturn in October.

[FLT-bird]

LOL!

Most Americans either don’t care about the latest giveaway to Gaia grifters or are against it. The supposed “bump” in the polls? You mean the same polls that have gotten every single last thing wrong for at least 6 years? Look at Trafalgar or the Big Data Poll.....you know, the ones that are actually accurate. There is no bump for Democrats. They’re going to get crushed.
