Could pinning Putin to the GOP be an effective strategy for Dems in the upcoming midterm elections?

[Imallin4Joe]

Maybe.

I admit, this OP will be quite vague. It will take people a lot smarter than me to put a plan like this into place but that's why we have smart people leading the Democratic Party.

I say, unleash this message on the GOP in the upcoming midterms.

All I hope here is to start a dialogue and hopefully urge our party to look into this.

I believe swing voters are EXTREMELY DONE with Putin and would gladly vote against GOPers who have been linked to Putin or are on video speaking favorably of him.

Our party will need to employ every strategy in our arsenal against a red wave in the November midterms.

Many GOPers could be vulnerable to this.

Peace.

1. YES !!!

[underpants]

2. Hell yes. We should hang "genius" around Trump's stinking neck.

From here and forever.

3. Why "pin" him to the GOP when they are already seamlessly cemented together and we know it? nt

4. No

In my opinion, you need more to energize Dem voters than "GOP is bad" and I have doubts that a foreign policy issue will be among the most important topics in November.

17. This is true but there's a small middle that could be had cheap IMHO if the affliation is made

... and it be a distraction to the GQP come November

5. I say HELL YES !! BUT. . .

. . .also point out the jobs boom. Every fucking where.

And every time the GOP opens its big fat mouth and says something stupid, point that out as well. More and more people want competent folks in government, not clowns.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

6. Hell Yes!

TDFG, Mike Pompousass, Tucker Carlson, and Nick Fuentes have all been praising Putin, kissing his ass in public. They are REPUBLICANS....Make them the poster boys for the GOP. The tie any Republican to them and Dems have a winning message for the midterms.

7. The GOP sold out their country to Putin.

They took his money and he helped get them "elected."

They parrot his talking points every day. Their goal is to install an autocratic form of government with white christian minority rule.

They no longer believe in democracy and are taking control of the voting apparatus.

Why we don't use any of this I don't know.

Zelensky is fighting for his country's democracy.

We need to do the same for our country.

[edhopper]

8. It should be

but the people who vote for the GOP don't seem to care how traitorous their representatives are.

9. Take the photo of the Republican Senators in Moscow on the 4th of July and run ads saying

I'VE HEARD THAT THESE REPUBLICANS LEFT AMERICA ON IT'S NATIONAL HOLIDAY TO MEET WITH PUTIN TO DISCUSS DESTROYING UKRAINE!!

Don't know if that's true or not but falsehoods never stopped the Republicans from running ads.

Let the Republicans defend why they were stabbing our country in the back and cozying up to Putin on America's birthday.

[SheltieLover]

10. Absolutely!

[Gore1FL]

11. It can be overdone, so we need to avoid that. We need to put forth an agenda, more strong, too.

But, yeah, Russia/GOP/NRA needs to be a topic in our campaigns.

[honest.abe]

12. If Putin is deposed, the midterms are going to be very good for us.

Biden will be seen as a genius and Democratic candidates will be pulled along his coattails.

[BlueIdaho]

13. One of several

Pin Putin, Trump, the Proud Boys, the failed Covid response, an economy in free fall and add every other loutish, brutish, violent racist who belongs there to their sides. Make them own their shit and remind America what a decent place it was before the GQP took over.

[Evergreen Emerald]

15. Pointing out the obvious is not "pinning"

Putin has infiltrated our government, through the Republican party. In order to stop the destruction of our Democracy, we need to point out the obvious.

[uponit7771]

16. *****YES!!!!******

[LiberalFighter]

18. It wouldn't hurt.

Every GOP should be effected when mostly all of them supported the orange idiot.
