Battle Space Preparation

That is what the left is always engaged in. You have likely seen any number of "Blue Wave" articles predicting a big win in November for the Democrats.

Republican members of Congress are announcing their intention not to run again in 2018 in record numbers. 35 at last count. 20 is about the average according to an article I read recently.

Apparently even Paul Ryan, the former conservative and current Speaker of the House is hanging up his gavel and heading for the hills.

The proliferation of stories suggesting that the Democrats will retake the House happens approximately every 1.5 years when they are not in control of the House as the left prepares the battle space. The objective of the stories is to demoralize conservatives. To persuade us to not even bother trying to win; the jig is up, game over, checkmate. Maybe. As the saying goes, even a stopped watch is right twice a day.

Should we believe any of what they are suggesting? There is a one word answer to that question... DonaldJTrump!

Think back to 2016. What were they telling us for an entire year preceding the election?

Correct. Don't bother. Game over. The jig is up. Checkmate. Oh, I almost forgot, they were going to take the House in the bargain.

Most, if not all of the non-returning GOP congresscritters know they  cannot run on their records and be re-elected. They have played Lucy to our Charlie Brown at least one too many times. ObamaCare repeal, the Omnibus budget. Colossal betrayals of the conservative voters who sent them to Congress. The kind that cannot be forgiven.

Being the stand-up guys and gals that they are, and knowing the rules really well, I wonder what they will do with their leftover campaign money? How about;

"This option also includes creating a nonprofit organization with the leftover campaign funds."

Any bets on how many family members will be "employed" by these brand new nonprofit organizations?

We will put forward new candidates in the primaries for all of those seats and we will inevitably win many, if not most of them. Who knows, the new crop may add a few voices to the real conservatives in the House. We cannot do any worse, for the most part, than we did with those who are taking the money and running.

Be of good cheer my friends. Do not let their tsunami of propaganda affect your natural conservative optimism. It is always possible that we will indeed lose, it is a contest after all and we are up against world class liars and cheaters as usual.

We can never let the prospect of losing dissuade us from doing all we can to win.
