Tomorrow, we will only be 18 days away from a landmark election. Despite the best efforts of Republicans and their deploying the most talented operatives and employing the most effective consultants, the Grand Old Party is facing significant losses at nearly every level.
There will some surprises as several Democratic-held seats fall to lesser known Republican opponents that were outspent 2-to-1; however, the writing is on the wall for a finale square in the Dems’ corner. But, don’t weep, because this is just the beginning.
Out of the ashes will rise a revamped and refocused Republican party. One that aggressively reengages the electorate that has waned from it. A party that finds its one true voice and calling once more. The bottom-line here is that this is NOT a loss. This is a fresh start. It won’t be easy, but it will certainly give the party (at every level) a chance to start anew.
Defeat is where brilliance is born. A new generation of Republicans are about to take the reins, and I can’t wait. So, on Election night don’t be surprised or glum. Just realize that we are about to be overtaken by a wave, but that we will float to the top with an opportunity to swim once more.
