1. Anything to secure federal elections.

2. Pass any legislation that would give long-term effect to what President Trump has had to try via executive order (e.g., fixing the trade deficit via tariffs).

3. Explain why, before President Trump, no one explained where all of the American taxpayers' money was going, while it was going to USAID, NGO's, Somali's, and a plethora of fraudulent operations.

4. Explain what Tulsi Gabbard now is explaining regarding the Ukraine-related impeachment process.

5. Explain what Tulsi Gabbard now is explaining regarding the effort to take down the President.

What else you got?

Messaging. The Republicans hardly ever make an attempt to argue their point.

The Democrats stay united and get in front of the cameras to push legislation.

Also, the need to get even coverage from the MSM. I know his is a tall order but do a daily summary of all the major news stories the MSM is spinning and give the republican rebuttal.

Everything you said, it's like I said, the democrats approach this like it's a war for survival and Republicans approach it like a touch football game after Thanksgiving turkey. Conservative Americans made America great, Republicans allowed it to be destroyed

The Democrats may appear to be in lockstep, but what notable successes have they had in recent memory? They’ve been in lockstep alright, but it’s been lockstep in their failures and defeats, for the most part.

I was talking about the Democrats being in lockstep, yet they still can’t do anything worth a damn with it. Because they’re idiots, of course.

I’m not sure there is any point of electing republicans other than obstructing democrats?

They don’t “control” a damned thing. Need 5-6 Senators and at least 10 more Reps.

Until you have the 60 votes in the Senate and control the House….you need to go back and figure “control”

Failed in Civics or took Home economics instead.

The Democrats haven’t done anything because they have nothing to offer. Their sole message is to scream about the evils of OMB. They’ve got nothing else.

Exactly. They’re in lockstep with screeching OMB, that’s it, that’s all.

Well of course there’s always going to be concern over “the next election,” but there’s no disputing the Democrats’ dismal performance and record in recent memory. Reason being, of course, their rabid obsession with OMB. They’ve even rebuffed the most basic common sense in favor of obsessing over Trump. And yes it is a crying shame that Republicans haven’t seized on that rare type of opportunity all the while.

ETA…It should be noted that there’s no indication that the Democrats have changed their ways in their approach, however neither is there any indication that Republicans have changed theirs.

Through Biden, they had millions of illegals flooding in, followed by dozens of new legal tricks to keep them here, just like 'dreamers' during Obama.

They also got us into and have kept us in Ukraine.

When they have power, they do more with it because they aren't full of planted traitors. If they have Congress again, they'll be more effective in their attacks, something Turtle and his sellouts never were.
