Very good analysis, LS.
Will this help or hurt us in November?
Totally a hunch, based on a few races starting to turn our way (Today Renacci down just 2.6 in Eutholithics poll in OH-—OH has a solid 300,000 GOP registration lead AFTER allocating “independents” based on previous voting history, so I think Renacci now will win OH).
Anyway, my hunch is that the DemoKKKrat “enthusiasm” has started to recede and fade a little, that we saw this begin to fade a little in the last few weeks, while GOP enthusiasm has been ginned up by the K stuff.
It may well be that the legacy of FinkStink’s stupid ploy was to so galvanize GOP voters that she handed us back the House and a much larger margin in the senate.
But it’s all just a hunch.
