The Democratic siege against Republican incumbents has been a brutal, yearlong struggle — a civil war on both sides of the aisle, but one whose outcome looks likely to strongly favor Democrats in November. Trump is not a popular man, nor have his economic or foreign policy decisions endeared him to anyone except his most devoted fans.
If you hew to traditional sentiments about such things, the last time a party on the back foot has any chance to turn its fortunes around before the November elections is by Labor Day. And perk your ears: Lo, the sound of a trumpet! Look out over yonder, toward next week — what’s that heading over the horizon? Is it the Republican cavalry charging over the hill, with a flood of advertising money and a positive electoral message in its train, to at last relieve beleaguered GOP incumbents hunkered down across America?
