This leads me back to the idea that if Trump just came into office and didn’t mess with everything he and the GOP would be in much better standing.
Voters who vote in every election pay attention to good and bad news and if you only give them bad news then you are gonna struggle

Like I oscillate between “the GOP is trying to win the midterms” and “they don’t care”
I see them on tv lying and playing up certain issues to act like winners but they also don’t renew the ACA subsidies.
Like maybe it’s 12D chess but probably not.

Jake Sherman’s take isn’t all trash. But the GOP isn’t gonna be messaging on this for the midterms.
Once Trump and the MSM realize that the issue won’t help the GOP they will pretend it didn’t happen

Are Republicans poised to win this year? Should they be "confident" about their chances? Who knows! The NYT certainly wont tell you bc reporting what the reality is about midterms would contrast with the pro-R narrative they are wedded to pushing.

Signs are not pointing towards this helping Trump in any meaningful way. People are probably happy Maduro is gone but don’t think the US should be involved in this stuff

A Washington Post poll shows Americans are split on sending military forces to Venezuela to capture Maduro. Most say it should have required Congress’s approval.

But come Election Day the GOP got whooped.

Trump doesn’t have enough police force or military support to turn the US into an authoritarian state. He also is lazy.
Like if he could make it so people can’t criticize him he would but because he lacks that ability we should all rest easy knowing we can still call him an idiot

This is why Trump won’t get a boost. People already are very skeptical of intervention. This number would need to be much higher if we were to see any type of bump

Snatching Nicolás Maduro and attempting to take control of Venezuela and its oil is an extraordinary display of the new “Donroe doctrine”

So if I understand correctly, the VP of Venezuela helped the US get meduro and in return she will let us get the oil.
