5. Almost every elected Republican is a LACKEY to TRUMP--- and I think

a lot of people are starting to GET that---


It isn't really necessary for us to get many of the 39 percent who still support Trump nationally according to polls--- although a very few of them may vote for Democrats, we are much more likely to benefit from that group by the number of disillusioned supporters who just STAY HOME! Trump has a very bad record of failing to turn out his base, when he himself is not on the ballot---- but this year, they have even LESS motivation to turn out and vote, when he has broken so many promises and ignored their priority of inflation and the economy...!

What is REALLY going to kill them this year, is that the overwhelming majority of independent voters are turning away from the Republicans in big numbers, and they are nearly as angry as the Democrats! AND, Democratic "enthusiasm" to vote in the upcoming mid-term elections is about 10 percentage points higher than that of Republicans, according to recent polls I have read.... Party base "turnout" numbers will be on OUR side this time, as opposed to 2024....

Republicans are "going to need buckets to catch the lead", electorally speaking
