This has to do with the ‘polarization ‘ in the country, and it’s downside. The 20% in the middle, only come out in presidential years. You then have the left and right battling it out in off years - ‘moderates’ don’t come out in off years, unless a pressing issue has them come out.

When Bush was President, his war against Sadam was very unpopular - GOP lost the house.

Obama was president, Obamacare and it’s cost was very unpopular - RATs lost the house, then Senate.

The RATs and media, have now made Trump the issue - hard to change Trump’s image at this point.

The GOP is hoping tax cuts (policy) will overcome Trump’s image issues. This might work, it’s gonna be hard to overcome.

Have moderate voters in my office, pro conservative, 2nd Amendment, etc, but probably won’t come out in the mid-terms to help Trump.

We should be able to hold Senate.

So they’d prefer liberals that aren’t conservative and aren’t pro-second amendment?
