the outcome is probably more precarious than we are led to believe. (Republicans are not saying that we hold much of anything.)

Republicans are not necessarily *we*. They can, do and will continue to take dives to protect the uniparty.
Generic has done roller-coaster swoops over the past few months, but latest has the donks at the baked-in plus 5, which makes them even w/the Rs. All Generic does is provide a snapshot of party affiliation. Many Ds voted for Trump, altho they were Berners. Tax cuts, economy and guns will affect a lot of Ds. Not all of them are radicals. We get 5%+ and we’re good. If they stay home, that’s good, too.
We just won a special state rep election (can’t recall where). Very minimal coverage. ran across the mention by accident. Had a D won, it would make headlines.
In WI, Walker opted to not have special elections for some vacancies because we’re so close to the midterms and it is expensive. Ds are puffing about ‘muh democracy’.
Ds going to the wall over citizen question on Census in 2020, which won’t even effect 2020 General (I think?).
Ds spouting, talking smack, but that is not the actions of confident winners.
Rush highlighted a MSM focus group (forget which outlet) of R women who voted Trump to see if Stormy changed their minds. Answers were not just ‘no’, but ‘hell, no’. They will work even harder because of her and they specifically referenced the ‘media narrative’....Rush made a point about the use of that term, because it shows sophistication and awareness.
So: we should, of course, work our butts off and get as large a turnout as possible, not because we’re intimidated by donkeys braying, but because we need to KAG. Support the most conservative patriot in the primaries and vote for the R in the General. Volunteer to work the polls. Watch for cheating and report to WH and DHS.
Do not give the uniparty the excuse of “Well, we lost Congress.” Help POTUS keep their feet to the fire.
Great analysis.
The RINOS are the only ones able to depress Republican turn out, and our loathing of them is reflected in the polls. But, when push comes to shove, we will turn out for Trump’s sake, to keep from giving him a D HOR and D Senate.
For example, I have to vote for Cruz and Cornyn, (both are McConnell mules) and they are not even the worst of the lot.
