The reporters at the Hill have spent a lot of time recently talking to, uh, elected Republicans in Washington, D C mostly from the house of representatives. And so this week, uh, they put together a report that essentially paints a picture of a Republican party in panic mode because they're predicting a full blown annihilation of the Republican party in November's elections. Here's the issues that some of these Republicans point out first and foremost, they got 27 Republicans retiring this year, 27 Republicans who could be seeking reelection, but just said, you know what I'm done. I'm out of here. That's a big number. Nobody ever wants to lose 27 members from your party in a national office. Uh, so that's hard for them. The second thing is the polls. They see the polls going down, down, down, down, down, down, down for Donald Trump. And that always affects the down ballot races as well.

Uh, typically not to the extent that it, it, uh, affects those at the top of the ticket. Uh, Trump will bear the brunt of that, but it is going to have small trickle effect. So if you have races that, uh, typically would be very tight within one or two points, if you have a presidential candidate who's down by 10 points, uh, that could very easily flip that seat. Uh, whereas otherwise that seat would not have flipped. So there's that, and that is what's worrying them. Uh, the Democrats on the house side have far more cash on hand than the Republicans on the house side because Republican money right now is going to save Donald Trump and save the Senate from Democrats, taking that back over to we're actually seeing a lot of that with the special interest money as well, a club for growth, the Republican, uh, super pack there.

They have actually been running tons of ads. And I know because we're in the same media market, but they are running tons of ads nonstop down here after Doug Jones, you know, the democratic Senator from Alabama who only won the special election because Republicans put up Roy Moore and he still even barely one that like Doug Jones had no chance whatsoever of being reelected in Alabama. Let's be honest about that. But the club for growth is pouring millions of dollars into this opposition campaign against Doug Jones, because they know how badly they need that seat back. They can't risk it. That is how desperate the Republicans are. That even a seat they know they're going to take back. They're not willing to take any chances and they're going to spend a couple extra million dollars to make sure they do the thing that they're a hundred percent sure they're already gonna do.

That's not a good sign for the Republican party. So here we are. But there's other issues at play too. It is not just Donald Trump. It is not just, Oh, you've got all these, these people retiring part of it too, is that people look at the Republican party right now.
