Where to Go from Here
[OpsLens] The Republican Party is at a crossroads. How’s that for a trite opening?The midterms obviously weren’t as bad as the press or nervous types in the GOP said they were. Gained in the Senate. Lost normal amounts in the House for a first midterm in a Republican administration. Won most of the marquee races. On good track to re-election. Not bad. The economy is humming, foreign foes are worried, and allies privately respect us. Though they yelp against the president like purse poodles for domestic political profit. Black and Latin unemployment is at an all-time low and we should be able to make political hay of it. Trade is perceived to be fairer than in the recent past, as many in the nation prefer a trade negotiator that has actual business acumen, not politicians whose only experience in this regard is trading their votes for campaign contributions. Not bad at all. Immigration cuts our way, as the Dem blind spot to it plays badly with a national audience. But beware: their real immigration goal has little to do with the other forty-nine states. It is about Texas. If they turn that blue through immigration and fraudulent voting ‐and they tried hard this last bout‐ the GOP will never hold the White House in the foreseeable future. It is the ultimate domino. So, with serious caveats, it’s a GOP-leaning landscape. Posted by: Besoeker 2018-11-19 |
