Politicos and pundits say the Republican Party has hopelessly welded its wagon to President Donald Trump to the point that there\u2019s no going back over the summer.<\/p>\n

I mean, so unless you believe that Republicans are doing so well right now that they are going to hold the House despite historical trends, despite high gas inflation, bad poll numbers for the president, and just a natural desire to have a check on a president \u2014 a relatively unpopular president \u2014 then fine, then Republicans can keep the House. Other than that, I just think it’s going to be really difficult. And then add on to that a war,\u201d reported MS NOW anchor Jake Sherman.<\/p>\n

Veteran Republican strategist Rick Wilson said Republicans are also in a bad spot because \u201cTrump’s not giving them anything to run on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are not going to go home and campaign on the ballroom and the reflecting pool and the arch. They’re really in a tough spot right now,\u201d Wilson told MS NOW anchor Katy Tur.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Wilson warned that Republicans may have compromised their chances in their mid-decade gerrymandering effort by \u201cspreading the peanut butter too thin\u201d and putting too many swingy voters into red districts. This, said Wilson, puts new so-called \u201cRepublican-friendly\u201d districts in jeopardy in Texas \u2014 particularly those with a high count of Latino voters, who are currently swinging hard away from the GOP.<\/p>\n

Former U.S. Rep. Max Rose (D-N.Y.) said there is also the matter of the hot season falling over the nation like a blanket. <\/p>\n

Summer months, they say, is the time when voters distract themselves with things beyond politics, and whatever opinions they entered the season with are usually the ones with which they exit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s still a lot of time to go. But here’s the interesting thing about elections, particularly midterm elections: They are based around how mobilized and exuberant your base is,\u201d said Rose. \u201cDemocrats have never seen levels of this base enthusiasm. And we also traditionally find that sentiments get burned in by the summertime. You can’t rebound.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot when people go on vacation,\u201d said Tur. \u201cThey tune out. They give themselves a mental break.\u201d<\/p>\n
