and is marketing himself as a conservative Democrat

it's not that they're liking the Democrats more all of a sudden

same thing with Jon Ossoff

Well great... Just what we need is to lose another pro trump district to energize democrats even more..

Ossoff came close because he marketed himself as a conservative Democrat

@zakattack04 yeah, that's the main issue

I think the GOP needs to focus on winning these races to DEMORALIZE the Democrats

not because they need to keep seats in their supermajorities

it's a "kick the enemy while they're down, not because they're a threat right now but because they could be a threat later"

kind of thing

if I was in charge of the GOP, that would be my rationale

instead, Ronna Romney McDaniel is choosing to save up the $ for when midterm season is in full swing

I got a terrible feeling were going to get clobbered in the midterms

Maybe that's a good idea thouh

Cause the DNC is broke right now

@zakattack04 the DNC is broke but D candidates still get donors

@zakattack04 I have a feeling that the GOP will put up an actual fight in the actual midterms though

not every Democrat candidate will be like Conor Lamb

or Jon Ossoff

this looks like a repeat of GA-06, which came close

now, it might come close in the Democrat's favor

we'll see

Ughhh... I dunno man

Trump is showing up in the district on Saturday

Oh cool!

Haha yes, trump rally xD

<@&414473406264639488> lol you guys need to stop panicking. Panicking is useless. Are they putting estrogen in your water supply or something?

No other way to energize those blue collar industrial workers without him there

(well, there's likely estrogen in everyone's water these days)

I've been in panic mode since Virginia

yeah, but panic mode can be counterproductive

what's more productive is having concern, but being calm and optimistic and willing to fight

True

Can't be optimistic living here though :(

I've been in panic mode since 2016 when I saw the 2016 house results

@Deleted User I'm hoping the Trump effect only got the usual midterm voters to actually go to the primary polls. I am hoping this jump in numbers isn't from a really high turnout overall like we saw in AL

Trump's showing up on saturday?

This is definitely a good thing and could decide the election, Trump gets crowds and he gets people motivated. Twitter isn't what wins elections, if he makes a rally in the district and Saccone wins, he could see that that makes the difference.

He'll need to talk tariffs specifically.

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 why? GOP only lost 6 seats and the average swing is 23.

I made this one seem more professional.
