The fight for the suburbs has been a key priority among the Democrats. The GOP, not so much, especially on this forum where most comments reflect a dismissive attitude. Most conservatives seem to believe that the 2018 election will be a replay of 2016 with the same outcome across the country. Certainly, very few voters who supported Trump in 2016, will change their vote. They still support Trump. But, will they vote? Turnout is the most important variable in any election and usually the GOP has the advantage during midterm elections. The Democrats have been working hard to reverse that historical result planning to post better turnout in the suburbs than do the Republicans. The fight over the Supreme Court was aimed at the Democrat hard left core and suburban women. It may have backfired for them in the suburbs, but if we don't pay attention, this is where we will see our losses.

And most “Conservative Inc” types continue to hand wring and hope that if they just keep trash talking their own side daily maybe this time they will finally be right.

Many of the vulnerable districts voted for Hillary, so it’s a tough map. But in this election, Republican votes count more in blue states than they did in the general. So hopefully with better-than-average excitement among Rs, we can hold the line.

If true, this is nuts. Suburban voters don’t like lower taxes, lower unemployment, and better business conditions? If better educated people like the Democrat mob and socialism, then this country is doomed. That would be the definition of ignorance, not being educated.

Just remember, Suburban voters, that Obama sought to use the powers of HUD to FORCE big Section 8 housing blocks into your neighborhood.

Put Democrats back in charge, and they’ll do it again.

I repeat myself. Scare those suburban moms about mob violence. Also scare them that their sons and husbands could be unjustly accused and vilified if a woman wants his job or promotion.

So are you actually saying anything here that is remotely insightful?

Trump has bled support?
I just don’t see it, as much as liberals wish it were true.

Which is probably the reason for articles like these.

Well then here is something that should terrify Leftists who believe this article

And buried in a (Left leaning) Quinnipiac poll are some numbers that should rock Democrats back on their heals: Two weeks ago, white women were favoring Democrats on a generic congressional ballot by 13 points. One week later it was down to five points. In the latest poll, it is at one point. These are the vaunted suburban female voters that Democrats having been targeting because of their supposed discomfort with Trump. But it turns out they have sons and husbands and watching what happened to Brett Kavanaugh has not sat well.

If it’s the suburbs that are important, then the Dems should be toast. They’ve been an albatross around the neck of the middle class. They want to raise taxes on the middle class in order to give Blue State billionaires a credit for what they pay in state taxes. They’ve handed the middle class the bill for Obamacare and the rest of their welfare programs. They’ve got nothing to brag about when it comes to the middle class. They even went so far as to call them names, “Deplorable” ring a bell?

With exceptions to the bluest of the politically blue areas of the U.S., why would the majority of voters, truly, decide to vote for Democrats, after all of the ongoing foolish behavior by The Left and ongoing crazy behavior by The Left?

The mainstream media — even its conservative precincts — seem to have no idea of the high levels of support for the president among minorities, or about the Walk Away movement.

If those suburban voters want to keep their cushy jobs and picket fence homes and keep gangs out of their neighborhoods, they’ll vote Trump. Pretty simple.
