I'm not saying GLR was wrong,
but what did he achieve in the long run
yeah, we need to fix turnout, definitely
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 did you make that gif yourself ? Congrats
At Monday's rally, Trump discussed something new: the psychology of the midterms (maybe he's been reading /rsg/? ;)
From 17:00 to 20:25:

>We’ve got to do well in ’18, and I know we’re going to do great in ’20. But I think we’re going to do well in ’18. I think we’re going to do very well.
>Historically, when you win the presidency — you know the story. Just, for whatever reason it is — and I think I figured it out. Nobody, really, has been able to explain it properly. I think I figured it — the party wins the presidency. And now the people are happy.
>And the people that voted for us become complacent a little bit. And they don’t get out, and they don’t vote like they should. They sort of take it for granted. They sit back. And then they get clobbered because the other people are desperate. And they get out and they have more energy.
>And I have to say this: History is not on our side. You win the presidency and you take it easy, and then they come and surprise you in the midterms.
>I know we’re going to do great in ’20 because, by that time — see, what happens is, if you did badly ’18, now you’re all angry again and now, ’20 comes along.
>So start thinking about ’18, start thinking about November, start finding out exactly that little slot.
Cincinnati rally, Feb 5, complete remarks: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-tax-reform-3/
Hopefully he realizes just how involved he needs to be
Yeah I think he definitely realizes the midterms are super important and high priority this year
he visited PA-18 after all
if he visited PA-18 for a special election, I'm sure he'll visit a bunch of other battleground areas this year for the midterms
How to flip CA red:
- Massive turnout in amongst rural white voters in Northern and Central Valley California
- Large turnout amongst white suburban Republicans in Southern California
- Swing voters concentrated in SoCal going Republican
- Depressed turnout amongst Hollywood and Bay Democrats
- Low Hispanic turnout
It'd take a miracle
still, feasible if all these conditions are met
conditions are looking good so far
better than ever, i can afford to be not-blackpilled for a while
what made you so optimistic?
better poll numbers and tomorrow Trump will unveil his legislative agenda, _and_ the Senate will start working on Trump's immigration proposal, Congress is actually doing its job
How to flip Florida:
-high turnout in Western Florida
-low turnout in Southern Florida
-swing voters everywhere else going GOP on the ticket
-the non-bad Cubans go out to vote
Well, hopefully it goes smoothly, if you're optimistic about the events to come then it should be great stuff in the pipeline
Infrastructure is bipartisan and popular,
should help the Independent vote
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 maybe voter fraud legislation can cause low Hispanic turnout. Having a shitty D candidate could cause depressed turnout among Hollywood / Bay Democrats. A lot of funding can cause high turnout in Northern / Central Valey and SoCal
I wish someone in Congress had the brains to pass it
And the Nehlen anti-censorship legislation for Twitter
speaking of which, RIP
they said MA couldn't flip either, y'know
it's all about those rural White voters and getting enough them out to vote
yeah, Scott Brown marketed himself as a liberal/moderate Republican though
sometimes, you have to vote for someone just so the other guy won't get elected
