I tend to agree. This anger is peaking too early. The Right voters may be taking a victory lap while everybody else heads to the polls.
If these rallies in DC with celebrities getting arrested persist, however, the Right could remain enthused. It’s Fox News’ viewer clickbait. And if Schumer doubles down on his strategy gaffe and talks impeachment of Kavanaugh before the election, he could make things much worse.
I think the Democrats should put Biden out there on the trail, 24/7. Lunchbox Joe would crush Trump in a general. He won’t run in 2020, but the hope that he might, and his mere presence, with Obama where possible, could bring out more blue votes next month. And a very thin increase in blue voter turnout is all that’s needed to ensure House control, I think.
