The first war has begun, the war within the GOP, we have to win it.

On the investigation of the Jan. 6 insurrection, the Republicans again miscalculated. They refused to join the inquiry (House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California herself named two Republican lawmakers, Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois)

This is a blatant lie. They didn't refuse to join the inquiry. Pelosi refused to allow Jim Jordan and Jim Banks (both Trump supporters) to sit on this show trial inquisition.

The Senate is not really in play here, we simply have too many seats to defend this time, and the RINOs are still too well entrenched. It’s going to take a few election cycles to purge it.

The average voter will not pay attention to the mid-terms until after Labor Day. Give them two more months of Bidenflation, Bidenstagnation, $4-$5 gas, and soaring food prices, and it’s doubtful they’ll rush to the polls to vote for Democrats.

So far not good. Mitch and McCarthy aren't inspiring any confidence for change.

“There will be no Red Wave.”

I’m kind of advocating for this. The way I see it, the democrats are setting up a political trap. They’re hyperinflating the economy with the prospect that the GOP will take the house, senate and executive in 2024. Then the democrat media corporate establishment will pull the plug on the economy. Just the way they did to george bush the ‘subprime mortgage’ crisis. Y’all may not remember when chuck E Schumer pulled the plug and deliberately precipitated the crash. They’ll do the same thing if they see the GOP win at the polls. And then they’ll blame the whole thing on whatever target they choose. Democrats are predictable. Act like you been there before.

Well the blame can be pointed at our friends, neighbors, co-workers, and family members that still vote rat. Mostly women and non-whites.

The problem is that all the talk of Red Wave is going to create the situation where if it doesn’t happen, somebody is going to be blamed, and we all know who they will blame.

Never trust a summertime poll, when everyone is on vacation.
Or a weekend poll.

GOPe going the way of the Whig party-—they will not go so easily, but we must continue to pressure them out. They are the reason we’re in this mess-—

Wait till the heating oil shortages and price increases kick in in the late fall. More winning for the Dems!

That might just be a wake up call for low info voters. We'll see if it's enough to overcome weak GOP campaign leadership, poor GOP candidates, no GOP messaging and Dem fraud.

No details in your post but...
Birmingham, Alabama is #3 murder capital USA in one listing Detroit, Michigan is #3 in another.
Birmingham did not have a recent election. Detroit primary election was in Aug.

Detroit has been democrat run for decades, why would you think a city run by the machine would showcase a MAGA revolt, or that the vote counters would allow one? No one even bothered to vote (15% turnout).
Latest election City of Detroit
Turnout
15.42%
Total voters
77,749
Registered voters
504,215

LOL, how about never trust a poll?

Or as Mark Twain once allegedly said, "there are 3 kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics."

The fact of the matter is the party in power (Democrats) NEVER has a good year in off year elections, and the state of the economy, Biden's dismal approval and inflation should make this year even worse than the norm...

So why is the liberal media suddenly pushing this "Things are looking GREAT for democrats line?"

I think it's one of two things:

1. It's just posturing, the know democrats are going to get destroyed and lose the house and senate, but hope to keep the democrat base energized enough to keep it from being and epic blowout.

2. The fix is in. The democrat fraud machine is gearing up. The media is saying this now to explain why democrats defy all expectations and have a good night in November. Basically so they can say, "Well we told you things were looking up for the democrats way back in August! The election went just as expected, nothing to see here, move along!"

Pick up three Senate seats? You are dreaming. We will be incredibly fortunate to keep it 50-50

I agree that dems are working overtime and pubbies are trying to lose but the real purpose of articles like this is to provide cover for massive voter fraud.
