if he's campaigning that means he sees this and is taking action

remember, these people want us to lose

I'd be panicking too if I was the President and my party was losing 35 seats since I took office

Trump's best when he's live

net loss of 31

I wouldn't call it 'panic'

I would call it a measured response born out of appropriate concern

'caution'

new thread

The tweets are ok and all, but at a rally it's full of energy, he gets people going

the governor of Wisconsin was panicked that's for sure

I 100% think that if Trump made a live appearance at VA during Gillespie or AL during Moore, they most certainly would have won instead of putting out some tweet saying "hey guys vote"

That's how he gets turnout

We need Trump to be an activist for his party this year, an asset.

Gillespie actually rejected an offer by Trump to rally for him

Still, the principle stands

That was certainly a stupid move to make

You need all the awareness you can get

good thing Trump rallied too, his voters are concentrated in that district

small, white towns everywhere

btw guys, have the discussion in the thread so that it bumps it and keeps it from getting slid

He needs to pull all the rallies possible

He's got to be able to get 2016 levels

Here's my prediction: GOP wins, but because of massive Dem fundraising they do better than normal, which leads to them saying "durr here's further proof of le blue wave"

(that's what happened for all the other special House elections. GOP wins, but Democrats do better than usual because of massive amounts of $ and media attention)

I have no clue what the RNC is planning

that's the fucking thing

I can picture a blue wave happening if the RNC continues to sit on their ass

There's the possibility they're lazy retards

Paul Ryan has earned 44 million dollars this year in donations

he better spend in on the race

Is it his to spend or the party's to spend

@FLanon there's also the huge possibility that because they're establishment politicians, they'd rather let Democrats win than have Trump win

he can direct it to the RNC

of course

or spend it on his own campaign

they'd rather be the minority party than be the majority party with responsibilities

the second one probably

when they're the minority party, they also will be called racist less often

all they can do is block

ffs we need good offense

The main hope I have for this year isn't in the party itself to campaign well, but for Trump to do something massive and/or campaign with a ton of energy

I think I get the RNC's strategy

they're going for a full-scale offensive in the Senate

save money, spend it on the US elections

I recognize it

but a hunkered down defense in the House

I think it's a terrible idea

money is good, but guerilla campaigning is better

this isn't a contest of "whoever racks up the most shekels wins"

remember Clinton always

Oof, Clinton blew 1.2 billion

that's why we need a good offensive on all fronts and not just have a lot of money, but use what we have effectively.

Trump > RNC when it comes to election strategy

he beat out their 16 best people

that has to count for something

yeah

you'd think that GOP candidates would learn from Trump when it comes to winning

but they all use the same tired strategies

I thought Moore was doing ok because his Twitter responses were decent, but then again he probably wasn't in charge of his Twitter

I wish Gingrich had a larger role in all of this

Gingrich isn't even busy with anything

Trump should hire him

it sounds like the kind of savvy play he'd make

Twitter doesn't win elections, Gillespie and Moore taught me that

He has the numbers to show for it. He pulled off '94 and got the fucking speaker unseated

He knows how to run a massive campaign, that's it.

Ryan is fucking clueless, he rode the wave in the late '90s and sat on his ass while he got the speaker position

Gingrich was brilliant,

the contract was key

Trump needs good advisors for the midterms, definitely. A team.

The first:
#NoWhiteDemocrats
Step 1. Set up sockpuppet black Twitter accounts
Step 2. Screech at all liberals who are white and moderates who are white, attack whites running for congress and keeping their seat in Congress. Try to turn the Dem party into the 'POC Party'. Attack Pelosi, etc.
3. When people are questioning whether to stay, berate them even more to get them to 'get out of your party white debils'.
That's one technique.
Another I thought of is #RaiseOurTaxes
Step 1: More sockpuppets
Step 2: Pose as Democrat voters and attempt to make undoing the Trump tax cuts as a major part of the Democratic program for the midterms
Step 3: Find random moderates, and ask them if they saved anything in taxes. (Use MaximLotts Tax Calculator)
Step 4: If they did (90-95%), berate them, call them 'bourgeois fucks', 'rich cunts' and the such, try to alienate them as much as humanly possible.

what do you guys think of this idea

that was my post

ha, I suspected it was

It's very simple, people are sensitive.

They don't like being yelled at, they hold grudges.

Some people may get the idea that whites aren't welcome anymore in the Dem party, and will simply not vote, or vote for the opposite party

Also, no one likes having their taxes raised

I got that idea in particular from seeing a screencap of a reddit post which suggested that 'the dems run on raising taxes' on the night it was passed, which was completely retarded but inspiring

They're becoming pretty popular now, so attempting to repeal them while all this news of new job growth and a lot of middle class people saving on taxes can only hurt Dems

someone bump the thread

what up

Hello

oh shit

someone bump the thread

lol shit, too late

I might make a new one before tonight ends

hmm

shill this, this will hurt Dems badly in the coming midterms

THEYRE FIGHTING BACK

yep, that's why I've been saying it's too early to come to a definite conclusion. So much shit like this can happen between now and November

BREAKING: Federal prosecutors have notified the court that they intend to retry Sen. Robert Menendez on bribery and corruption charges and have requested the earliest possible retrial date.

NEW JERSEY SENATE SEAT IN PLAY

hell yeah

the thing is...it's still New Jersey

I think Chris Christie trashed the reputation of the GOP there

assuming Menendez resigns, the replacement Dem still has an relatively easy battle
