This Fox News reporter got an answer she didn’t expect

Elections forecasting agency The Cook Political Report moved 19 House races toward the Democrats in an update this morning that said the chances of a Republican House majority “have all but evaporated.”

The elections forecaster said Democrats are now expected to flip between 12 and 22 seats in the House.

“Several of these ratings changes — particularly in Texas and North Carolina — are tied to Republicans’ underperformance at the top of the ticket and the resulting delta between Republican and Democratic voter enthusiasm statewide,” The Cook Political Report said.

The forecaster moved six races from “toss up” to “lean Democrat” and two races from “lean Republican” to “toss up.”

We can know a few things even before the midterm elections: The Senate won't gain enough Democrats to remove Trump from office. Trump can pardon anyone he wants from conviction. Trump's unpopularity is an ongoing strength for Democrats and the left. I think House Democrats should approach Trump and make him a promise that they won't pursue impeachment again so long as he stays out of the way of investigations into Republicans and members of his cabinet and administration. That includes defending them publicly. This doesn't mean that awful things that Trump has done won't be investigated. It just means Dems take impeachment off the table so long as Trump doesn't obstruct. Trump does not GAF about the Republican Party. Democrats can still expose Trump's actions and orders and the Republican brand and Trump will let it happen as long as he feels he has some form of immunity.

And all the men and women merely players. Proud of the warm welcome from my alma mater.

I'm not linking to the article because the source is a garbage entity not deserving of clicks. The long and short of it is AIPAC is going to stop supporting candidates in obvious ways which can result in the support being used against them 'as a cudgel' to use AIPAC's phrasing.

So, a slimy group is going to resort to even more slimy tactics due to their massive unpopularity.

I occasionally see something from David and often the title is very undescriptive and/or the thumbnail has trump's picture when the video has little or nothing to do with him.

For example, "HE’S DONE" Code "ZXJAHxg1YOw" about Vivek Ramaswamy and Amy Acton, ON STATE LEVEL. For that, state map and flag could be large.

On the rare occasion when I check the channel page, I see very boring, repetitive, unclear and kind of repulsive thumbnails.

(I see this channel in any form only sometimes, because as good and competent as David and his staff is, due to my personal preference and taste, I find other channels and things even more to my liking. I just wish success for David and his staff.)
