“Everything is at stake this election”
I was disappointed in 2018 because I had hoped that we might win the House. The optimistic people might see a strategy there where having Democrats control the House until now has allowed them to reveal themselves to the public. OK.
But 2020 is our last chance. We need to win. We need to really start rolling out that Offense so that voters don’t vote Democrat 5 months from now. There’s not a lot of time.
“Everything is at stake this election”
Well, guess I was too happy yesterday ‘cause I took a look at who was running their Senate contests in 2020.
Go take a look if interested: (Axios)
Dems -No resignations this round and 14 seats in contention
Repubs - 5 resignations helping to make 22 R seats in contention
Lots of work ahead.
Here’s my latest thought: Trump’s going to bring the Tea Party back, by other names perhaps, but the MOVEMENT that was turning out millions of demonstrators in 2009 and 2010 until the usual co-opting and governmental suppression ‘flattened the curve’ if you will. We got Mr. Trump elected but we haven’t seen that MASS POWER since the TP days (which Mr. Trump was a big part of, first time I thought I wish HE were our president). if he can create that energy again, lights out.
Interestingly, I recently learned that the dims had to be SMASHED one other time (not counting the Civil War) by the republicans in order to generate enough political power to pass the women’s suffrage amendment, which the dims had been blocking since 1865.
Re the 2020 election: I think, whether we want it or not, it’s going to be a referendum on covid-19. The other side which sees more government as the solution to any problem, will run on more of the same and try to paint Trump as a greedy bastard who puts the economy ahead of lives.
However, as Mick said, time is indeed on our side. The most likely scenario is, the virus will have run it’s course and life will be more or less back to normal by late summer. The oppressive fascist governors will be feeling the backlash from forcing their states to fall (further) behind red states. People will feel differently about the virus and what has happened than they do now, and most will have a sense of relief that the worst is behind us, which is a great set-up for President Trump’s message. And of course there will likely be a lot more revelations about the despicable and illegal actions of many democrats by then.
So it seems to me, a referendum on covid-19 isn’t a bad thing at all. Trump has lots of accomplishments to point to, including having listened to the “experts” until the crisis had passed and then turning to re-making American great again.
The wild card is Biden and what they do about him. How many congressional or downticket candidates do you think would be thrilled to stand on the same stage as him today? How that will change is the big unknown.

I think there is every chance of winning back the House as well as Senate and of course wtihout saying, Trump.
Many dem voters have “Walked Away”. Many voter rolls cleaned out, and much going on behind the scenes. Trump and his administration know that this next election is absolutely vital to win, and they will make sure the election is clean. The ODNI press release the other day said “whole of government” in connection with election safety or security.... They aren’t announcing all the details of what they’re doing so Dems can’t try to counter them.
