How Republicans can turn things around and win the Midterm elections.

Come Up With a Workable, Single-Payer, Government Operated Health Care System
Both Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were Democrats who had some great ideans and plans when it came to putting together universal health care for the American people. Obama's plan even reduced the actual cost of providing services, and increased the number of Americans who had access to quality medical care by the millions. Republicans could improve their political standing tremendously by coming up with a workable plan to reduce health care costs without reducing the quality of service provided.

Give the Tax Breaks to the Working Class
Stop treating billionaires like they can buy the ability to run the country their way. Lowering and paying off the national debt will help the economy in ways we might not ever thing about. The only way to do this is to make the billionaire one percenter class of Americans pay their fair share in taxes. Fair share means the amount of money which covers the cost of all of the government services from which they benefit in order to make their money, that's what it means. And that's a reasonably higher percentage of their income than the middle class or working class pays.

Dump Trump
If Republicans want to have even the slightest chance of not drowing in the coming tsunami, they've got to impeach and convict this President. Understand that J. D. Vance is not, in any way, shape or form, qualified to be President of the United States, either, he doesn't have anywhere close to the influence, negative or positive, that Trump does. And right now, Trump is a drag on the GOP that, even with their attempts to steal the election by gerrymandering, will cost them 40 seats in the House. Mark my words, I said it here.

Oh, and I don't expect the Republicans to take my advice here. I'm so confident they will never do the right thing for the American people that I can put it out here as a suggestion, knowing it is against their nature to be in favor of the life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness of the American people.

1. All this requires they first get a clue.

And that ain’t likely.

2. Ha ha

Quite the comedian.

3. And increase the federal

minimum wage from $7.25 (!!) to $20.

4. Seeing your headline (and granted before I read it) my first reaction:

"How the Nazis can turn things around and win the world to their side..."

Because for me, current policies, direction, and philosophy for MAGA are just too closely aligned and there is no such thing as the Republican party at this point...

5. I would not be surprised that they laid enough...

groundwork in the election process to win without any of the concessions you mentioned. I don’t know if we can vote our way out of this shit pile.

6. Dump Trump?

Trump still has at least 80% approval from the Republican party. Sure, if they dumped Trump maybe 1-3% of Democratic voters would vote Republican. In polls of Democratic voters there are always 1-3% that seem to agree more with Republicans.
And if the Republicans dumped Trump they would probably get more support among the third of voters who don't vote. But would those non-voters actually vote? Probably 1-2% would. Remember, through thick and thin, there has been about a one third nonvoting rate and nothing has changed that.
But if the Republicans dumped Trump it would really infuriate their base, 80% of whom are maga. The Republican leadership has tried to marginalize Trump off and on for a decade, even before he was elected. But he was, and remains, one of the most popular politicians with their base in the country. If Republicans dumped him, the Republican party would be hard pressed to win any election in the country. And they know that.

7. However, 80% of the Republican party and almost 0% of everyone else is a big loser for a lot of members of Congress.

Trump is dragging them down. So they are going to supress and cheat to the extent that Democrats will sit back and let them, and hopefully, the outcome will put some Democrats without balls out in the cold, and pick up a few who are ready to bust some heads.

8. There is a real danger for

Republicans here. If their gerrymanders have been cut so thin, down to a 5% or less margin, then a strong Democratic turnout coupled with waking up and energizing a few percentage points of nonvoters could flip districts.

And while only 80% of Republicans support Trump strongly, how many of the other 20% (probably financially focused voters) will vote for him anyway. Remember Trump's policies so far have been good for the top 5%. Maybe Trump's vultures will come home to roost before 2026 and some of that 5% will lose money due to deteriorating economic conditions.
