The GOP’s House ‘Strategery’ Was Excellent and Has Kept Them Competitive
Adam Turner


On Sunday, The Hill direly reported:

    As midterm elections loom, the president has faced mounting political pressure on key issues including the economy and Iran war. Growing discontent from Americans over rising gas prices resulting from the war has dropped his net approval rating down to its lowest point ever.

Psssstttt…I think The Hill is subtly trying to suggest something, don’t you think?

Just kidding. I believe we all know what The Hill wants to say and for us to believe. So, let’s articulate it aloud, in unison, people: “The GOP is DOOMED in 2026!”

Now that we've got that out of our system, let’s look at the updated facts regarding the battle for the U.S. House of Representatives, shall we?

The RCP job approval for the president is indeed low. President Trump’s job approval is at 40.4 percent, with his disapproval number at 57 percent. This is a better setting than faced by President Bush in 2006, but a worse situation than was faced by President Obama in 2014.

Nonetheless, despite the president’s job approval number, the generic ballot is much better for the GOP. The RCP average gives the Democrats only a 6.4 percent edge – still not a “blue wave” – and that average has quite some underlying diversity. Both Marquette and Harvard/Harris made yuge news by having the Democrats up just a tiny smidgeon. And the two polling firms that have the GOP down the biggest are Quinnipiac – a polling firm long known to be heavily biased towards Democrats – and the Big Data Poll, where Steve Bannon’s favorite pollster – last seen losing it regarding Rep. Tom Massie’s reelection – is pushing Bannon’s position that the GOP is doomed.

We'll see.

The over-priced political consultants hired by the GOP may be congratulating themselves to justify charging more money.

I don't want to be competitive.  I want to blow them out of the water.  Cut off their funding. Watch them starve.

But the bottom line is that Republicans don't want to compete either.  They are constantly making deals with Democrats to give them safe districts and job security to those holding them.  We had two districts in Georgia, the 6th and 7th, that were competitive districts.  If the GOP had simply gotten off their asses and tried to compete, they likely would have won both of them.  But since they're lazy bastards, they lost them both.  So what do they do?  They redraw the districts, making one heavy GOP and the other heavy Democrat.  In other words, they conceded a seat to the Democrats that they could have won if they had been willing to compete.  And then after the election, they fund their Democrat opponents with $2 trillion in deficit spending.  Republicans are not our friends.  They only care about holding on to the perks of their jobs.


Crush your enemies.
See them driven before you.
Hear the lamentation of their women.
