Yes, Republicans can take the Senate in November
American Thinker ^ | August 30, 2022 | Mac Madden

Posted on 08/30/2022 7:42:36 PM PDT by T Ruth

Republican gains in the Senate are looking less rosy right now for a lot of reasons. … Democrat donors from safe blue states are pouring money in to these same races at around a two-to-one ratio to crush the Republican nominee. Of the 10 top-raising Senate candidates, six are Democrats in competitive races. ...

***

And don't get me started on the ridiculous polls design to demoralize conservatives into thinking they can't win, thus reducing donations and votes. All I can say is that it happens every time, and nobody should fall for it.

Let's first look at the situation in a few key states.

In Georgia, Raphael Warnock has been the most successful Democrat, raising $20M. At least the GOP Senate Leadership Fund plans to invest $37.1M in Georgia this cycle. ... RCP currently has Warnock in a +4.4. This is doable. Walker might need some coaching, but people love him.

Arizona is a totally winnable race, although nutbar Mark Kelly has raised ten times Blake Masters's $5M. ...

In Pennsylvania, it is a completely winnable race. Oz is nearly on pace with Fetterman in fundraising. … We need to hold our noses, donate, and get to the polls. Fetterman is a leftist lunatic who was supported by Mommy and Daddy until he was 49. ...

So how do we get around the two major problems confronting the GOP senatorial candidates in tough states?

First, donate to these candidates. I don't care about excuses like they are not from my state or they do not line up 100% with my views. Nobody will. I plan to donate $1,000 to all critical candidates.

Second, ... these folks need something to hammer every day. They might start by taking a look at the wildly popular Rick Scott 11-point plan ...

They need to come out with a message. Newt had one back in ‘94, “Contract with America”.

The only message I see is, “Vote Republican - We Suck Less!”

IIRC the GOP is defending about twice as many seats than the Rats are this year.If the GOP succeeds it will be down to luck.

Never underestimate Biden's the Repulsican's ability to eff things up. Get rid of the turtle. We'll not say by what means, just get rid of that turd.

Some good polling last couple of weeks. Several polls have Oz within 4 and seeming to close. Key will be how people see Fetterman’s health and cognitive issues.

Trafalger and Emerson both have new polls with Walker up in GA, but very slight leads.

New Reuters poll had Biden approval dropped back to 38% this week after a short term bump into the lower 40’s. I guess his absence the last 3 weeks helped his approval... but the student loan bailout his a raw nerve with a lot of folks.

That many millions to keep this moron in the Senate, in a state where he no one should know his name. Yet more proof that it’s all about CON being perpetrated on all of us. Spend $37million, reap 10x that or more in favors and tax breaks for your next factory or whatever.

How much gas is will determine the election. The gop have a shot if gas spikes even higher into November.

McTurtle doesn’t give a shit about winning.
He’s an international ATM machine that just keeps chugging along since 1984.

His last opponent, the democrat “Mcgaff” pulled 99% of her funding from NYC, LA, SF, etc.

McConnell being the true patriot of Kentucky only pulled 97% from those same cities.(Sarcasm) Apparently, Louisville and Lexington are McPOS fundraising areas.

The dude is a waste of sperm and an asshole.

Gas WILL spike up by November - Biden with his 3 month moratorium on Federal Gasoline taxes will have expired by November, so gas prices will be back up over $4 a gallon by then ...

We will not get new leadership until we change the membership.

As long as we keep re-electing Thune, Barrasso, Blunt, Ernst, Scott, Scott, Lee, Crapo, Grassley, Shelby, Murkowski, Sullivan, Boozman, Rubio, Risch, Young, Braun, Moran, Cassidy, Collins, Hyde-Smith, Daines, Fischer, Sasse, Burr, Tillis, Hoeven, Cramer, Portman, Inhofe, Lankford, Toomey, Grahamnesty, Rounds, Cornyn, Romney, Capito, Lummis then they will keep Mitch in his position.

As always, the media showcases a slant to the left months before election time. I for one am not going to sit this midterm out and everyone else shouldn’t either. I’m fed up with Biden’s crappy face, telling us who we should vote for. RED WAVE BIOTCH!

I actually think once you lose majority, you are ineligible to run for the position again in both house and senate. I think it should be that way for RNC chair as well.

Looks like a huge list.

All Republican Senators have urban areas and college towns that hate their guts, but they get financing from those wealthy areas.

Nothing will change until Republican voters stop being little political correct pussies, who throw their own away because the “media said something bad.”

We will win when we become a Pro-Trump “Band of Brothers & Sisters Party.”

Until that happens.....Nothing..... ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz....

Hmmm...
The burning question is: "Can they do anything significant with it?"
"Significant" means anything that removes the chains that the communist masters have draped around our shoulders...

To keep a positive attitude, do not review the last few times they held the Senate...
Outside of SCOTUS nominations, they can be best characterized as sheep grazing blissfully ignoring what their shepherds have been doing...

My problem with donating to the candidates is then your phone number and email get passed around like an STD at a free love commune.

Gave Larry Elder some nice donations and then texts from all kinds of other candidate buzz my phone even after texting STOP from one the text plague spreads from others.

Any ideas on how to donate without being stalked ? Seriously.

Then I could change my number and never give it out again. I already have a trash email account.
