1. Count me as saying it's too early to tell if this is durable. Are we peaking?

Tax rebate checks are imminent. Witholding refunded per the BBB or something like that. Fed interest rate cuts on a time delay to kick in by July or so. Keeping the populace at a fever pitch against the incumbents is still an emerging art. Trump is moderating his rhetoric already. We still have M$M to tackle, and we never found a way around them. Smart phones, YouTube, social media and apps? Remain to be seen.

My bet would be we should count on a 7% swing in our direction, all else is fraught emotion, and that Congress will be Dem in the mid 220's seats, Senate 49-51 one way or another.

Ignore the pundits and polls. Keep working.

Exactly. LOTS of time for bribes to the public. Callie1979 Monday #5

Recent election results should be a warning sign for Republicans... CaptainTruth Monday #2

I'd say, stop warning the republicans and let them sleep through this election. Linda ladeewolf Monday #3

Very true, but we can't in any way let up. Maga Republicans are very aware of this and will try to subvert the midterms Fil1957 Monday #4
