The time to plan a massive counteroffensive for November 2018 was June 2017 at the latest.
This is good (better than losing), but there is no national organization (i.e, a political party) capable at this late date of summoning up 435 or even 218 MAGA candidates to put before the voters.
I/m afraid that, not only are the Republicans not up to the job, they are compromised to the extent that they are willing to lose their majorities rather than to permit the swamp to be drained.
Trump almost won NH (would have, except for illegal voting), and yet there are no credible candidates running against our two (D) Members of Congress. The GOP, which holds the legislature and the governorship, just is not willing to oppose meaningfully our all (D) representation in Congress.
We keep reading about the RNC being flush with cash, but they seem completely incapable of supporting candidates in these tight races. President Trump shows up to support Balderson, but where were the GOP leadership? Ryan? McConnell?
