Although Democratic poll counts are in the gutter, recognition and favorable ratings for Trump and the Republican Party are inevitable.

Despite the polls, new RNC chairman Joe Gruters told Fox News Digital last week: “We have momentum around us, we have problems, we have a president who cares about every American. We will take that vision and drive the vision throughout the process.”
But as he moves forward to next year’s midterm elections, Martin sees the Republican agenda as ammunition.
“We welcome the debate because it’s a debate as a Democratic Party and it will really help us build our coalition and win the election,” the DNC chairman insisted.
