The one thing that has helped Republicans win in the past is now threatening their success at the polls, according to a former Republican insider.

Kurt Bardella, a former staffer for Republican Senator Olympia Snowe and Republican Congressman Darrell Issa, appeared on NewsNation to discuss how going "full MAGA" isn't "the advantage it was" in some prior elections.

"Part of the thing is the immigration enforcement aspect has hurt the economy some could say, and certainly the electoral success that Republicans enjoyed with Latino voters in 2024, well the immigration enforcement mechanism now is actually eroding that goodwill support that he had with those voters," he said. "It's not an accident that when you look at all the public polling that's been done over the last 30 days, Donald Trump and Republicans are hemorrhaging with independent voters big time."

He added that, "This stuff plays well with the MAGA base," but that "the MAGA base doesn't decide the outcome of elections, especially midterm elections." For that, he says, Republicans need the voters they "are losing right now."

1. Well not continuing ACA subsides will hurt many of the GQP's supporters.............

both emotionally, physically and financially, and it appears that the GQP don't care.

If the GQP are trying to own the Liberals that indeed is a insane way to do it.

2. I think the MAGAs would be upset over the current threats to Venezuela since the wannabe king's

campaign mantra was "America first." I don't expect them to vote for Dems, but maybe they'll stay home.

3. Here's to hoping, (fingers crossed) that we take back the House and Senate

and put a stop to this illegal regime.

4. That election is still about 11 months away,

and that is a long time in politics. I'm not going to count any victories until the day after the election.
If current trends continue, we might see a dem majority in the house and senate after the midterm election. Hope that it is so.
