The Rethugs read the polling and saw the the Economy was the biggest issue for the public. So they attached economic issues to their arguments.

The Job Killing Obamacare? Remember that?

The Job Killing Minimum wage?

They would have opposed the Job Killing Daylight savings time if they could have figured out how to pull it off. They put Job Killing in all their arguments, which we ignore thinking that people won't notice the arguments. Well they're noticing. To the average pay little attention folks on the street, the Republicans are fighting for jobs, and we aren't.

In the meantime President Obama has pivoted to the economy a dozen times at least, and done little but to swear things are going great now that we're in charge. The people don't feel like things are going great, and the reality is that they're not going all that well. But we are losing on the issue, and that doesn't bother anyone, because despite the polls that show us losing the Senate, we're confident that the people will come back to us.

The truth is our campaign strategy is to drop to our knees once a day and pray that the Rethugs fuck it up.
