I'm not sure this is a reasonable take on the state of this upcoming election.
There is a very, VERY limited few number of people who actually vote across party lines. I was one of them as I slowly transitioned from Democrat in the late 90s to Republican by the late 2010s. I was a straight-ticket Democrat, and voted for Bush in 2000, but still voted across the board for Democrats in the house and senate. After the ACA was passed (with Bill Nelson as the deciding vote), I vote straight-ticket Republican, and was one of the people who helped oust Bill Nelson (whom I'd voted for at least two-three times).
This was rare, for the most part, back then, as most people are straight-party. But this is even less-so today as we've become so polarized.
The reality still stands:
- Inflation has caused the price of everything to effectively double.
- The economy is shaky, and people are nervous
- Democrats are NOT enthusiastic, they are depressed.
- Republicans are angry, and extremely motivated.
- Roe v. Wade ruling did not amount to the enthusiasm people thought it would
This article is merely an opinion, and there's nothing in it that represents any kind of legitimate outcome for the election. The Democrats losing the house is pretty much a foregone conclusion. The Democrats literally have a less-than 10 seat majority.
Except more and more people will identify as independents.
Trump's sycophants are the RINOs. They have subsumed the GOP and turned it into the Party of Trump. Real Republicans/Conservatives need to wrest control back from the crazies if they are to survive. Trumpism is not going to grow the party--quite the opposite.
Liz Cheney's crushing defeat should have been your wake-up call.
The party is over for the corporate whores and deep state traitors.
The Republican Party is now a multi-cultural, multi-racial worker's party.
And during President Trumps time in office my IRA was doing outstanding, we were paying less for fuel, and men and women knew what what a woman was. But under sippy-cup bunker dwelling pedophile Joe Obidens rule as dictator its all slipping away and the rest of the world is OTFRLTBO at us.
^^^^^ All of which is a rationalization that doesn’t excuse Trump’s lack of character in the least (and no, no one should have voted for Biden either).

There is no Republican Party left. It's now the Party of Trump. The fact that someone who votes 93% with Republicans but is no longer considered good enough because she isn't a Trump sycophant tells you that the GOP is gone.
And Trump will not grow the party. Quite the opposite.
The globalist, open border and endless war supporting GOP that leftists and Lincoln Project republicans tell us we should accept as an inevitability is not a GOP I am willing to support, and if continued support of MAGA policies ultimately destroys the Republican party, then the Republican party needed to be destroyed.
I don't care if the McCain/Romney/Cheney GOP has a better chance of winning, it is still not getting my support, so stop trying to tell us that supporting MAGA policies will lead to defeat. It won't get me or people like me to embrace your duplicitous insanity.
But you lose all credibility in claiming to support those policies by supporting Trump at the same time.
And some Progressives stand for allowing abortion at a "National Level". We all (should) know why that isn't going to happen on either side.
But then again what does "banning abortion" mean? The Pro-Abortion groups have taken a ban as anything less than "At any time and for any reason". So to them, if you are in favor of abortions only up to the 20th week except if medically necessary, you are considered "Anti-Abortion".
But again, Abortion is well down on what people care about, the biggest concern is the Economy. So yes, please continue to "warn" us about how radical the Conservative's positions are on Abortions totally ignoring the people's main concerns. I am sure that strategy will work out perfectly.
You’re a man.
Why is what any abortion anywhere is about any of your business ?
Trump did what no Dem has been able to do in AZ for decades turn it blue. And thanks to the three trumpets running for Senate, Governor, and SOS the state will now be a blue state.
