I reminded before, when Obama was first elected, that very evening, political pundits' rhetoric was "is this the end of the GOP"?
Lately, pundits are jumping up and down about polls showing a big shift away from the GOP. Corporate media is shoving the MTG sideshow down our throats, and claiming that MAGA figures are unhappy about the Epstein files. A growing number of allies are abandoning Trump, we're told.
We're told that because of political shift, the midterms could turn Congress blue. How far might Republicans fall?
The GOP is some freaky mutation of what it used to be. Will they craft a better narrative going forward or just find more scapegoats to warn America about?
If the Party actually wins, will Democratic leadership formulate strategies to maintain momentum.
Let's see what they've been up to lately.
Schumer caved on the shutdown. So now expect health insurance premiums to balloon.
Schumer pushed the Dems to pander to suburban Republican voters instead of working class voters. That was a big fail.
Leadership did not support Mamdani yet Trump invited the new Mayor to the Oval Office. The Dems are pissing on young voters that want the new brand Zohran represents.
The majority of the Left do not support the Israeli war in Gaza. Democrats have done little about that.
So even if Congress turns Blue, even if Trump is impeached or even if the Epstein files has political fallout that hurts the GOP, do the Dems know how to develop a winning playbook, and communicate a rock solid strategy?
Or will the GOP come roaring back, like they do. Perhaps worse than ever.
