Donald Trump always thought that he would end up being the savior of struggling Republican candidates in this year's midterm races, but as the election approaches, more and more troubled candidates are reaching out to Mike Pence to save them. They view Pence as a "neutralizing" figure that can calm some of the fears of rational voters who don't want to vote for extreme candidates. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening and why everyone thinks Pence can save them.

Donald Trump thought that he was going to be the Republican savior of the midterms, right? He thought he was gonna be the guy that everybody turned to, wanted everybody coming down to Mar Lago to kiss the ring and tell him how great he is, just so they could get his endorsement, because Trump thought that endorsement was all they would ever need. You get that endorsement, you're cruising into an easy victory, right? Well, it may have worked that way in the primaries, but here in the general election, a lot of people that Donald Trump has endorsed are not doing so well. So rather than reaching back out to Donald Trump and saying, Please come do a rally. Come reimburse me. Do something, send out a truth social post about me. They're not doing that. They're going to somebody else saying, Can you please come and bail my out? And that somebody who these Republican candidates are turning to is none other than Mike Pence, the man who Donald Trump says, committed political suicide on January 6th. By not breaking the law, it's not Donald Trump that these candidates are running to it's pence. And Pence, for his part, has been doing a good job of answering the calls. Recently. He went out to Arizona to rally for Blake Masters. He officially endorsed him. He's out there raising money for him. He's done that in several other states. He's been to Georgia. Uh, where else did he go? He's, he's gone to New Hampshire, I believe. He's, he's gone all over the country. He's spent a lot of time, by the way, up in the Midwest as well, which is where he is from. He's campaigning, he's endorsing, but more importantly, he's raising millions of dollars and giving it to these struggling candidates, all of whom Donald Trump had endorsed. But the problem with the Trump endorsement, of course, is that Trump endorses and leaves, right? It's kind of a love him and leave him situation, if we're being perfectly honest here. It's like a one night stand. He's gonna show up, he's gonna do his little thing. You're gonna leave a little disappointed, and then you're never gonna hear from him again. That's what Donald Trump does. Pence, he's the long term relationship guy, right? You call him. Maybe he's your rebound. Maybe you're thinking, Okay, I'm ready to, ready to love again. I'll give him a shot. And he does everything that a good political, you know, boyfriend should do. He endorses you. He supports you. He gets other people out there. He gives you money. But more importantly, these candidates understand that he gives them something Donald Trump never could. He gives them sanity. See, the Trump endorsement is good for the Trump base, but those are the only people swayed by it. The moderate Republicans and independents, they don't give a. In fact, a lot of them are actually turned off by the Trump endorsement. So what they need after they get the Trump Endorsement is for a normal, non crazy human being to show up and show them that, Hey, listen, this person's not a wacko extremist. They're not out there saying that they're gonna overturn the election. Or, Oh, well, okay, well, I guess they did all say they wanted to overturn the election, but, uh, you know, locker room talk, they're, they're a normal person. They just wanna make sure that women don't have the right to choose what to do with their own bodies. They just wanna make sure that corporations don't ever have to pay taxes. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVJxdbDEfso

A new poll has found that Democrats are once again on top in generic polling, leading Republicans in Congressional races by 5 points. This is what the polls were showing in August and early September before they flipped back to Republicans having the edge in the generic polling. And with only a week to go before the midterms are over, this is a very positive development for the Democratic Party. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses the new poll.

Well folks, we are now just a little over a week away from the midterms and the polls have once again shifted and they've shifted in a way that should make everybody a little happy, right? Because according to the new polls, Politico Morning consult poll, Democrats are once again back in the lead in the generic ballot, polling by five points according to the new generic ballot. Polling, which is where you go up and you ask somebody, Hey, if you had to vote right now, you're, uh, it's a race, there's a Democrat, there's a Republican, no names involved. Who do you vote for? 47% said, I vote for the Democrat. 42% said I vote for the Republican, a five point advantage for the Democrats, which puts them roughly back where they were in early August, right? Coming off that summer of, you know, basically, well, and just off the Malago, uh, FBI visit. Uh, but the summer we had all the January six hearings. Public sentiment against the Republicans was turning. So early August, and pretty much all through August, Democrats had a healthy advantage in these generic ballot polls. September things started to get a little fishy. Inflation was getting bad gas prices going back up. No hearings from the January 6th committee. Things went south. Republicans basically flipped it. And beginning in a October, late September, early October, Republicans had a four point advantage over Democrats. But now here we are, late October, again, little more than a week away from the midterms. It's flipped back the other way. Again, Democrats hold the advantage. And what's the thing I always tell you when you're looking at these polls, right? You gotta check the margin of error. Anything above 3% margin of error should not be trusted. This poll has a margin of error of two. So it's a good poll, it's a reliable poll. That's a pretty good margin of error here. So what does this mean, right? Does it mean that Democrats are actually gonna sweep the midterms? No. Does it mean they're gonna retain control of the house? No. Um, what we're seeing right now is some races are tightening, right? Federman versus Oz, very tight Vance, uh, uh, uh, versus, uh, uh, Tim Ryan very tight. Walker Warnock very tight. Marco Rubio now has a double digit lead over Val Demings down here in Florida. Uh, she was just a point or two behind him a couple weeks ago. Ron Johnson has retake the lead in his Senate race. Uh, you know, we've got problems, we've got lots of problems. So yes, this poll should make you feel a little bit better, but none of this matters if you don't go Out there and vote. And I know Republicans have made it harder and harder and harder for Democrats to be able to vote. We just have to overwhelm them with numbers. And I know that sucks, and I know it's easy for me to say because it takes me five seconds in my tiny little county to go and vote. So I don't have to deal with these problems. But I'm telling you, if people show up, we can stop the bleeding. If the people show up in numbers enough to overcome the voter suppression, we can keep out Walker. We can keep out os we can keep out Vance. We maybe even even be able to kick out a couple other Republicans. That's what this poll is telling us. This poll's not telling us. It's a guarantee. This poll is telling us if we show up, this is what could happen. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LN21yJ4xdc
