Polls suggest House Democrats will buck midterm curse and add to their ranks

27. That is some great, but not entirely unexpected news!

That particular part of the cycle is often considered a referendum on the President, or an admonishment or warning. So far, at least, President Biden's performance has been nothing short of spectacular and little short of perfect.

The R side of the House, OTOH, has stood around with their thumbs up their hoops...then up that of the Rep to their left...then that of the one to the right....then back to their own. In short, completely f'ing useless. More useless than ever, but now, the optics are astonishing.

The ONLY good thing I can say about them is that they appear to have been STUNNED into silence and inaction, and have no idea how do deal with a triple threat. Not only does he know what he's doing, but he has a clear vision and the means to articulate it. Now, back in the dim past (before 2016) they faced a President with similar attributes, but this one has the tragic (from their POV) attribute of being as white as hell.

This skin tone does not galvanize them into action - to the point of fervor - and they have to find actual talking points and develop arguments without their Rage Stimulus. They can't even fire up the rabid base. They are all but paralyzed. So, the "good thing" I mentioned? Their torpor is not making the country worse. For a change.

When a huge chunk of your heavy lifting in the PR arena is being done by an imbecile like Mike Lindell, you are f'ed.
