Republicans voting for Republicans..
It’s when Republicans and Democrats get together and vote for one or the other that it gets really Banana Republicish..
81,000,000 votes Banana Republicish..
It would be, but after 2020, I’m unsure of what proportion of Democrat votes are cast by actual living, breathing, sentient human beings.
Pubs have to turn out massively to make up for the corrupt mail in votes.
And.....House races are harder to cheat!
Be careful writing too much into this..
Man states have highly contested major races in the GOP side, and nothing on the Dem Side...
PA is a perfect example of this.
Highly contested primary Senate Race, Democrat side the Primary was all but a foregone conclusion for all statewide races.
Party out of power is always more energized, so GOP should have, historically, greater turnout this fall regardless... but don’t think Dems are going to sit home... they are largely an emotional reactive lot... they have them riled into a frenzy by November.
Pollsters take note.
8 of those states are red states. 2 are blue states.
As far as primary turnout is concerned, how much can be read into that in open primary states, where Democrats can effortlessly cross over into Republican contests?
Even for closed primary states like PA where there are important competitive primaries on the R side and nothing but foregone conclusions on the D side, there’s always “Operation Chaos” in reverse.
The RINOs in Ohio (as just one example) were begging Democrats to cross over and vote for liberal Republicans like Dolan, and so they did. Democrats in Texas voted in the Republican primary in order to try to hurt AG Ken Paxton — they succeeded into forcing him into a runoff (every little bit of damage now helps the Rats in November) even though he will win that runoff without breaking a sweat.
There’s lots of Democrat crossover everywhere, e.g. they still hope to save Liz Cheney that way. They also hope to eliminate Lauren Boebert (and maybe MTG) that way.
Therefore the Republican “turnout advantage” numbers in some places, while probably not totally an illusion, is still heavily polluted with Democrats.
DEMOCRAT RESPONSE:
1. If only the Democrats were better at getting their message out, people would love them and they would win.
2. If only Democrats would tout their accomplishments, people would love them and they would win.
3. If only the deplorables and right wing extremists weren’t so stupid, they would see how great the Democrats are and they would win.
There is all this Happy Talk around about Republican tsunamis and waves and floods in November.
Remember to save a few brain cells to consider what happens if the Dems KEEP the House, the Senate, and the Presidency.
If no big fat R-wave happens, or gets countered by either voter fraud, or amazing unanticipated events.]
“Pride goeth before a fall.”
Never assume.
“An internal poll of highly competitive battleground districts conducted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee found that the generic Republican candidate is leading the generic Democratic candidate by an 8-point margin”
These districts probably have an incumbent who is running and many have an obvious challenger or, if the primary has been held, a KNOWN challenger.
So why “generic” polling? Would the results be even worse for the Democrats if the Rat pollster mentioned specific names — like the name of the Democrat incumbent who is supposedly at serious risk of being ousted?
Reads like eve of 2020 election.
“Given that Democrats generally have a three or four-point built-in advantage on the generic ballot”
Yes, its called cheating.
If there was ever a concession that the Russians are winning in Ukraine, this is it!
The dimocrats are noticing the same pattern and they probably realize they need to “excite” their base and try to match or hopefully exceed Republican turn out.
That means only one thing, scare the crap out of their base and everyone. I’d expect an extremely negative campaign, 24/7 until November at the very least.
This will have an effect of destroying morale for everyone in America. By fall, Americans will be so agitated that there could be violence.
McConnell and McCarthy are still in leadership positions, so it really doesntatter if the Pubics sweep in November.
Its too late to overturn the fraudulent results in the 2020 election perhaps, but there are still great benefits in prosecuting the mules and those behind them:
1) To keep Democrat cheating down in coming elections.
2) To expose the Democrats for the lying crooks they are.
3) To exonerate those who were demonized or even jailed for protesting the fraud.
