Steve Bannon has a plan to save the Republican Party from losing in the midterm elections. He believes that the party should embrace populist-nationalism and create a coalition of left and right, old and young. Fareed Zakaria considers this strategy as clever and thinks that it could be successful. The Republicans are currently focusing on local contests based on tax cuts and the economy. Bannon warns that if they continue on this path, they will lose 40 seats in the House and President Trump will be impeached.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_026508.txt
The document discusses the topic of ranked choice voting and its impact on voter turnout and political representation. It mentions an article from Cato Unbound that argues that ranked choice voting may lead to lower turnout and more errors, but does not have a significant effect on ethnicity. The writer expresses skepticism about this claim and suggests that ranked choice voting could increase the diversity of candidates by allowing for the election of centrists who are closer to the median voter's preferences. However, the document also mentions an argument that ranked choice voting increases turnout, but only if voters are given the option to rank as many or as few candidates as they like. The writer concludes that this topic is a "big nothingburger" and not worth discussing in depth.
