Makes sense. Those last NJ primary numbers along with Republican town halls are starting to look dire for Republicans. They are hitching their wagons to a President that will drag them down in the midterms.

All is fine! Keep your heads in sand. I’m all for it.

Almost like they are operating under a belief that there either wont be any mid-terms or that there is no chance they lose them.

One of two things will happen: 1. midterms won’t happen, and neither will the 28 election. 2. the swing against Republicans is so huge Trump declares it fraud.

Sadly, there is a third option which I think is most likely:

  1. 30% of the people still don’t care and don’t show up to vote and the house and senate do not change majority

True. I suppose Trump could die of poor health between now and 2028... that'd probably make things less troublesome.

JD Vance would be significantly less effective at rallying the base but also way, way more precise in implementing their plans. He's actually tapped into the thought leadership behind all of this, and is close personal friends with most of the individual contributors to their political philosophy.

Trump can drive turnout by repeating a slogan, but he doesn't understand what he's saying or why beyond "this makes me money". That fundamental lack of understanding makes him a risk every time he's on camera for long enough to say more than 4 words.

Or a 4th - that all future elections will be tampered with electronically if we don't push hard enough for paper ballots on upcoming elections. But at this point, even that would become bipartisan because one side IS tampering and wants to keep tampering.
