The RNC has pulled ad dollars from the NC race, so they are pretty much conceding that race. They are moving that money to Kansas, which shows that they are nervous that a rock solid red seat isn't that solid anymore.

We are one month away from one of the most important election in our Country's history. Right now, things look very promising in regards to the D's getting the majority in the House. Flipping the Senate is starting to look like a real possibility as well.

Trump is indeed clueless. And one of the problems that ACA continually faces is that R's use of " Obamacare " is not out of respect for President Obama, but to foster the hate that many of the R's have for him. Notice how Trump uses President Obama's middle name and how he says it?

What we are seeing with the D's is more " resistance ". What we need is a P2026 or whatever you want. IMHO, the key to stopping the progress of P2025, and it has made major progress, is way to slow/stop it. P2026 has got to be a specific plan to get the majority in either the Senate or House.
