The insight here is resource discipline. Republicans do not need another fundraising circus built around safe red seats and fantasy targets. Here, the GOP’s real opportunity is converting structural advantage into actual seats while protecting against midterm drag. Missouri’s 5th is the offensive play because redistricting can turn a Democrat incumbent into a stranded relic. NE-2 is the defensive danger because Omaha is the kind of suburban, Biden-friendly, college-credentialed battlefield where Republicans often get out-messaged. Cash in everywhere else. Fight like hell there.

Looks like people in fly over country have common sense.

The people have common sense, the “selected” officials do not necessarily.

Saw something on Twitter which indicated that the Democrats out registered Republicans in Oklahoma this past month for the 1st time in 15 years.

It was like 200 to 100… statistical noise and most likely maintenance of voter rolls of some sort. Or just primary registration surge with few competitive R seats.

“It is worth noting that Kansas and Nebraska both have sufficient red space to ensure Democrats have no winnable seats to compete for, yet have chosen to “kinder and gentler” approach to dealing with leftists.” Yes it is so frustrating that the GOP in these two red states are so out of touch with the reality that we have on the blue west coast! The Democrats are ruthless criminals in their actions of control!
