The Democrats may try a Trump scare scenario to gain support in the November midterms. One problem. As the poll in the tweet below shows, that dog won’t hunt. Thus trying to scare voters with Trump in a midterm election when Trump isn’t even on the ballot is a tired and lazy political strategy. Count on the Democrats to try it.

“The strategy that people are kind of thinking about now … is we’re going to have these [Jan. 6] committee hearings. Donald Trump’s going to be in the spotlight … Let’s take Donald Trump, take that [Jan. 6] committee, the threat he poses to democracy, make [Trump] … the face of the Republican Party, talk about Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Madison Cawthorn.

“There’s never been a time … where Democrats uniformly have been more … convinced that they are going to lose the house in the fall and that it might be really, really bad,” Heilemann said. “Right now, they look at the picture and say, ‘It’s brutal for us;’ and that’s partly about Biden’s popularity and the party itself. It’s just like it’s the political picture couldn’t be worse.” You got that one right.
