Freepers discussing Democrats flipping seats blue..not the usual "they cheated"

“These kind of election results are becoming more common. The GOP needs to step it up before the mid-terms or we’re gonna lose the House and Senate.”
_____________________________________________

Unless Republicans can find a way to immediately reduce the cost of oil, and more specifically gasoline and fertilizer products, they’ll be the ones blamed by the voters.

We have multiple military units traveling to the ME and beginning to stage there, and they’re not there to just sit around. Once bullets start flying and bodies covered in flags start making the news every night, the trouble will deepen.

It will take more than just the oil price. What have the republicans done to actually help with affordability?

_____________________________________________

Not much that I can see. Affordability is one of those terms that means something different to everyone who hears it. Does it mean lower food prices? Real estate? cars? Health insurance? All of the above?

I guess the one that pinches “you” hardest is the most important. We haven’t even discussed employment and the lack of private sector jobs created in the last year.

And then there’s inflation. Oil prices drive everything, and inflation will come right along with $6-$8 gasoline, if we’re lucky. At $200 a barrel, gasoline could hit $10 a gallon in the next few month


BS in, BS out. Trump and his team are bravely trying by to fight for us, but they still can’t control the narrative. All the people hear and see are false prophets leading us to Hell. Need more prayer warriors, not corrupted by this anti-Semitic Bullshit coming out of rotten churches.

Low turnout again. It would be nice if the GOP gave people a reason to come out.

They almost get there, they say it without saying it. "Hey guys, maybe the Democratic policies are much better for working people..." "Yeah, but woke and owning the libs man."
