Scott Jennings to House Republicans Holding a Thin Margin: ‘Try Not to Die’

EXCERPT:

JENNINGS: "It‘s a turnout game. And this is a condition of the Republican Party that it's true, we now have a party that‘s made up of lower-propensity voters. They tend not to vote when Donald Trump‘s not on the ballot. They turn out at lower rates, especially when elections are happening at odd times. And this is an issue the party is going to have to grapple with. Democrats have these higher-propensity voters who turn out for everything, and it — I think it creates a mirage of what you just said, that maybe people are switching. I don‘t think they‘re switching. I just think the highest-propensity voters are turning out. Democrats have a few more of those right now. I mean, that having been said, my advice to House Republicans right now is, eat healthy, get on your treadmill, try not to die if you live in a district that‘s any worse than either of these two between now and next November, or at least now and this summer when we gotta pass a reconciliation bill, because it‘s thin margins. But the Republicans, I think, are going to hold this thin margin and hopefully hold it long enough to get Donald Trump‘s legislative agenda across the line."
