Mike Johnson Makes Winning Midterms Argument — But For Democrats
Images
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is insanity. It also appears to be the Republican Party’s message to voters for the midterms. Seriously. Political analysts say current data suggests a “blue wave” could return the House to Democrats, partly because of Donald Trump’s record-low polling. The GOP is on track to lose big in the House, unless the party creates a message that convinces voters to keep it in power. House Speaker Mike Johnson had a chance to make the case to voters during a Tuesday interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” and he did a great job ― for the Democrats. “What we would do in the next two years is exactly what we have been doing already, and that is putting the conditions in place for a strong America,” Johnson said. He elaborated further: “We restored not just American energy dominance and peace through strength, but a vibrant economy. The conditions are there for this to take off, and that’s why the stock market indexes are high, that’s why job numbers exceed expectations. The Atlanta Fed says 5.1% economic growth expected in the third quarter.” Mike Johnson on what Republicans will do if they hold the House: "What we would do in the next two years is exactly what we have been doing already" pic.twitter.com/WSUZ2x9cBG Johnson’s attempt to win hearts and minds by promising to keep the same policies that have led to a war with Iran, higher gas prices and inflation, among other issues, didn’t go so well. In fact, it landed about as badly as Vice President JD Vance’s thirsty request earlier this month asking voters to “give us another chance.” Record high gas prices. Illegal wars of choice. Record incompetence and corruption. Mike Johnson: Nothing will change! https://t.co/rBoOTLEWhS Surely the American people will be inspired with this answer! https://t.co/jPTopvquRg “Exactly what we have been doing already”Housing costs ⬆️Healthcare costs ⬆️Grocery prices ⬆️Gas prices ⬆️Utility bills ⬆️Credit card debt ⬆️Medical debt ⬆️Government corruption ⬆️Mass surveillance ⬆️1% Tax breaks ⬆️Wages ⬇️Press freedom ⬇️Constitutional rights ⬇️ https://t.co/AU5HYWVZ6D Protecting child predators, facilitating extra-judicial murders, jacking up everyone's prices through tariffs and military misadventures all so that Donald Trump can get rich and he doesn't yell at you is a hell of a closing message. But totally on brand for Mr. Johnson. https://t.co/qZQus9WZtR So, nothing? Or just transferring wealth to billionaires? Or ushering in your Christofascist vision of the end times? https://t.co/TLk9JKyK0H “Give us another two years.
