Psaki coming up on first interview on FAUX going to watch her whoop some MAGA azz.
Their had their usual jaded critique of his presser yesterday but gone with the "does Biden have all his marbles" bullshit coming from their planet.
Also, based off some numbers FAUX was reporting this morning I think dems have a chance to expand congressional hold.
I'm going to source generic ballot and if we're even or up then I think this is time FOR DEMOCRATS to define with the GQP is for since they haven't defined themselves and take some congressional seats.
We have an opportunity to do define them for America if we start now, that'll be another OP.

I REALLY think we ***MIGHT*** have a chance this November, just looked at generic ballot ... I wonder if they're seeing the same thing I'm seeing.
hmmm

(2,527 posts)big time in November. I don't know who's doing these polls but we are on a roll in a good direction

(1,123 posts)but with the heavily gerrymandered districts and voter suppression laws that's highly unlikely with the House. However, there's hope for the Senate. The one wildcard for the House may be the ability of January 6th investigation to establish the extent of GQP members involvement in the insurrection.

Looking at generic ballot I think we might have a chance to pick up seats

(32,680 posts)We have 2 strong Dem candidates running for retiring Pat Toomey's seat. While the Repuke candidates are a clown car, topped by Dr. Oz.
Either John Fetterman (currently our Lt. Governor) or Conor Lamb (currently a US Rep.) could take the primary this spring. Whichever Dem wins the primary should be odds-on favorite to beat whatever clown the Repukes select.
Getting more Dems into the Senate this year will take Manchin and Sinema off the front burner. Am I right?

(17,310 posts)Ill donate to whichever wins the primary since Mark Kelly seems to be doing very well on fundraising.

(17,283 posts)With the big Blue Wave coming, we don't need Manchin and Sinema to accomplish anything. Plus when the
voting public sees & experiences everything we do between 2022 & 2024 for them, there will be another big
Blue Wave in 2024. Rs will have no power for at least 20 years, it'll take them that long to rebuild.

(12,306 posts)you have umpteenth articles about how Democrats are going to lose bigly in the 2022 midterms coupled with doom and gloom articles and corporate media blaming and bashing President Biden, the Dems and VP Harris as useless. Polling outfits daily bad polling.
Whereas, coddling the GQP.

With redistricting, the projections are likely to be all over the place all year, but the gerrymandering didn't get worse it sounds like.
Dems should hold the Senate, House is up for grabs, if we hold the House and expand the Senate it will be a rebuke of the GOP crazies.
Would love to see 52+ in the Senate making Manchin and Sinema irrelevant.

(90,347 posts)... I think we need to exploit that.

(3,167 posts)We tend to forget that there are some Republican seats being lost in redistricting as well. West Virginia lost a seat, and currently all 3 of their reps are Republican. California, New York, and Illinois are likely to get rid of one of their Republican seats, as well as possibly Pennsylvania. In addition, there were several close NY and CA races last year that could easily flip back.
Colorado, Oregon, and possibly even Montana could add Dem seats.
Ohio's gerrymander was declared unconstitutional, and NC's has gone to the state Supreme Court, which will rule based on the state constitution and it can't be appealed any higher. NC really should have 7 from each party, since we are so evenly divided.

(1,616 posts)The GOP are giving democrats every motivation and tenacious march to vote. Dems may still lose but there will be some shocking developments that comes out of these midterms.

"Proof, yet again, that he has lost his marbles."
Did they ever see TFG do a press conference? Well, yeah, not very often, but come on.
Their reality is and always will be distorted. No amount of education or reasoning will help.

(7,433 posts)Redefining the GOP should have happened a long time ago. Now is better than never.
Right now the GOP is very vulnerable. There's a void in their projected image. They stand for nothing, so it's time for the Dems to define them as devoid of any mission except to crawl inside Trump's descending colon and bask in the warmth of fresh hamburger waste. They have no vision for the American people. None. So the Dems can define them any way they wish, and there's a good chance it will stick.
