I am optimistic about flipping the House, even though there hasn’t been much talk about it. The numbers are in our favor. The $$ and incumbency are in their favor. But some headwinds are too strong. Not all the 2016 retirements were RINOs. Trump’s abrasive style can be exhausting, especially for someone facing a competitive race.
Owen, agree completely re: Kasich, Romney and other Quislings.

The Republican party has been out of touch with their base for more than a decade. Polls routinely show significant disparity of approval between the parties by their supporters. Dems win every time in those polls. And this is why Republicans have until now been the minority party. (According to Gallup reps have just overtaken dems by one point....first time since 2004.)
Politicians are usually just interested in winning, getting re-elected and getting rich. Most of them have very minimal interest in representing their constituents (outside of donors.)
Trump came along to change that and that is why he is revered among the party faithful....”We love you” chants are rare in politics...:-)
I don’t consider him abrasive at all. I consider him brutally truthful and I applaud leaders establishing honest communication with the people they lead.
Best president ever....:-)
