The scolds on the Left want you to believe that the midterm elections are hopeless for the GOP, so voters should stay home.
Of course, the president’s party reliably loses seats during midterms. This includes 19 of 21 elections in the House and 16 of 21 elections in the Senate since 1938. Presidential job approval, inflation, war, and other challenges typically fuel voter discontent against the party holding the White House.
So the GOP’s goose is cooked this year, right? Not so fast. The GOP has many advantages this year, starting with President Trump’s political power, whose enduring favorability with the GOP base is legendary.
Thus, here are six reasons the GOP will win the midterms in November.

Local, county, and state party voter turnout organizing goes into overdrive wherever President Trump appears. And he may exceed 30 rallies in barely six weeks.
