Maricopa County GOP chair believes the key to Midterms turnout is "educating" voters about Grampy's war in Iran.

"What's the end game? I don't think the president has been clear about that," said Todd Gillman, chair of the Monroe County Republican Party in Michigan. "The gas prices are a problem. We're concerned how this might affect the midterms."

Craig Berland, chair of the Maricopa County, Arizona, Republican Party, described the turnout threat bluntly.

"I don't think it's going to impact Republicans' desire to vote Republican, but I do believe that that turnout will be an issue," Berland said. "If the war drags on, that is going to impact the turnout, unless we are very, very successful in communicating and educating."

The on-the-ground reality is even more dire than internal polls suggest.

"We're even going around canvassing neighborhoods and registered Republicans are yelling out the door, 'go away, or I'm calling the police,'" Berland said. "I find that very discouraging."
