I keep seeing Texas as the Dems ever present pipe dream but I just don't see it happening.
They need 4 to flip it. I keep seeing this doom/wish casting that its going happen and I'm just curious about the actual data at this point.
There are 2 things that matter between now and November. What happens in the Economy and what happens in Iran. How those 2 things are going will determine everything. The SAVE Act would have been awesome but I don't see it happening. Trump and the GOP in Congress aren't popular but the Dems are also extremely unpopular, especially with the folks in the middle. It's not about what the news says either it will be about people's perceptions. We can guess at what that will be but no one knows.
Gas needs to be around $3 average by the elections and stock market needs to be on the rise, Dow needs to hit 50k and stay above that, Trumps main focus at this time should be getting the strait open without the help from Iran
Grocery prices should also be a top focus for him, he needs to lower the tariffs on all food products to 0 until after the election
Gas and Groceries are what people notice the most, he needs to figure it out and quick
One of Trump's biggest cards he is going to play is finally getting a Fed Chair that isn't trying to undermine him as well, though the impact of that will likely be marginal by November. Agree with all the rest, Iran and the Economy, that's the ballgame. The rest is noise.
