Republican National Committee (RNC) chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel said Sunday that Democrats have an advantage in voter enthusiasm heading in to November's midterms.

Speaking on AM 970 The Answer, McDaniel told host John Catsimatidis that Democrats are being bolstered by "energy" stemming from their unsuccessful bid to maintain control of the White House in 2016. “Democrats have energy right now. They thought they were going to win the White House in 2016. They took their eyes off what they needed to do to win that election," McDaniel said. "And they’re coming back strong in 2018, hoping to flip the majority."

"So we have to match them step for step with their energy, dollar for dollar, in order to keep these majorities," she added. "It’s going to come down to what vision do we have for our country. I don’t think ‘resist and obstruct’ is a vision that helps the American people."

McDaniel went on to predict that the GOP would strengthen its two-seat majority in the Senate, but acknowledged a challenging fight for control of the House, where Democrats are hoping to flip 23 seats in their favor.

1. She wants to "match them step by step"

And by that, she means "Russia, if you're listening, your Republican friends need help again."

2. Uh, yes, and no. The truth has it's pants on and the lies are heading for the hills. We love truth!

"I don’t think ‘resist and obstruct’ is a vision that helps the American people."

That's your bread and butter, dipshit.

5. It's the Rovian way: Accuse the other of your own faults.

Political judo. It seems to work, with the Repugs owning the White House, House, Senate, and soon, Supreme Court.

Poor victims they are, of the vicious Dems.
