The Far Left Can Crush Republicans in Midterms if They Just Give Professional Republicans Everything They Want

Sundance is purportedly taking the Carville line---Carville said basically for the Democrats to save their craziness until after the election. Then they would say "eat my dust".

Such as strategy could work in theory, but there's no guarantees of anything.

Back in 1980, in the Carter v Reagan election, Reagan responded to Carter's democrat trickiness with "there you go again". The trickiness is the attribution to Reagan an intent that he didn't have. So, it isn't any new strategy. In fact, they're already doing it with this Nazi stuff. Trump is no Nazi. They do this against all GOP opponents. It's as stale a strategy as is the smoke and mirrors policies that the Dems love to throw out there.

To beat them, the GOP needs to stick closely to the Reagan strategy. Don't buy into the hate. Reagan just gave a smile. Don't let them lie about you, as Carter tried in the debate. Reagan just said, "there you go again". If you get into the mud with them, they'll love it. Just say, it's "morning in America", and it'll be the Democrats that get smoked.

It isn't just some empty slogan, either. Things got much better under Reagan. By fall, conditions ought to be good enough to run on, and say what Reagan said---it's morning in America again.

The Dems need misery. Don't add to it. Dems need disarray. Don't add to it any more than what is already there. And be able to show that the disarray is slipping into the past. That's because it is TRUE. If we bring back the Democrats; it may be Happy Days Are Here Again for THEM, but not for America.

The Dems are about themselves and only themselves. Why join them? Win another for the Gipper.
