Want to Win the Midterms? Listen to Ron DeSantis

If you’re a GOP congressional candidate, who should you take advice from on how to win your election?  Mitch McConnell -- who, by all appearances, is a Disney animatron created to trip up Republican contenders -- or Ron DeSantis, ultra-successful governor of Florida and a candidate who won a nail-biter in 2018, which was a very Democrat year?

If GOP candidates follow DeSantis, the Vegas odds favor them bagging their Democrat opponents.  DeSantis is no Elmer Fudd hunting wabbits.  He’s smart, tough, and relentless – and he’s right on the issues.  He wins. 

 

Expect More Democrat Hail Marys

It's pretty obvious to me that the Biden Student Loan Handout is a midterm Hail Mary. With a 40 percent approval rating, why wouldn't the president throw some free stuff at the gender studies graduate vote? What has he got to lose?

Notice that I said: "what has he got to lose." I didn't say: what has the average American got to lose by adding $300 billion to $1 trillion to the national debt?

It helps me understand how the Peronistas wrecked Argentina, and the Chávezistas wrecked Venezuela. When your policies have wrecked the economy, why not double down, throw money at your supporters, and call your opponents names?
