Gingrich to GOP: It's the economy, crime, and the border, stupid

The public is dealing with a cost-of-living crisis (more than 20,000,000 are behind on their utility bills), rising energy costs, a record number of homicides, carjackings, and robberies, and the consequences of a wide-open border policy that has brought in a massive influx of both people and drugs. On virtually every front, people are finding themselves frustrated and frightened by a Democratic Party that is simply failing. …

On Sept. 8, the University of Virginia Center for Politics published an analysis using two different election forecast models. Both approaches project a large Republican sweep in the House of 37 to 44 seats and a more modest Republican gain of three to five seats in the Senate. A separate analysis from UVA projects a 42-seat Republican gain in the House and a one-seat Republican gain in the Senate. A pickup of 42 seats would give Speaker Kevin McCarthy the largest GOP majority since 1928. The author points out that the Republican challenge in the Senate is greater because there are 21 Republicans and only 14 Democratic Senate seats up this year (which means the next two cycles will be harder in the Senate for Democrats).

The momentum is shifting back to Republicans. So what, then, should Republican candidates do to maximize their victory this fall?

Here are some key steps.
