3. The only "concern" I'm seeing is regarding the midterms.

The problem is that Republicans aren't saying "We can't keep doing this to Americans and expect to win in the midterms." Rather, they're saying "How can we KEEP DOING THIS to Americans and not lose seats next November?"

They KNOW what it's doing to the country and they DON'T CARE. So, it's up to VOTERS to care, and right now the pity party so many red state voters are throwing for themselves needs to translate into either STAYING HOME or VOTING BLUE.

Because the knife cuts both ways. Democrats never have "VOTES TO SPARE," staying home is NOT a good option. And, every "disappointed" Trump voter who stays home is basically throwing their vote into our column.
