The Media Made the Midterms About Trump. He’s Taking Them Up on It.

President Donald Trump knows exactly what Democrats plan to run against this November: Orange Man Bad. So President Trump made a decision that has some political professionals reaching for the smelling salts. MAGA Inc. has roughly $400 million in its political war chest, and Trump wants part of it used for national advertising that tells voters what his administration has actually accomplished. The strategy is almost embarrassingly logical. Democrats plan to make congressional races a referendum on Trump. He's accepting the invitation. From The Atlantic:

Well said.

[Political Junkie Too]

The LAAP-dog media is constantly pushing the narrative that the young voters are being drawn to socialism and the socialist candidates.

Absent from reporting is any reference to the explosive growth of TPUSA chapters in high school and college campuses, and the movement towards a faith-based awakening in the young.

It's as though the only youth that matters to the LAAP-dog media is the disaffected and radicalized who are rejecting our Founding principles, and are burying any follow-up of emerging electoral growth of traditional values youth movements growing out of TPUSA campus student associations.

President Trump should reach out to the TPUSA youth to counter the DSA youth that the left-wing media is pushing as the only youth movement in politics.
