"There are many, many more issues that are resting in the Republican camp right now. The Democrat machine has self destructed, with little or no help from the Republicans. The red team just stood out of the way, and watched the blue team implode." 

For many a year in the past, education has been a pet rock, owned by the Democrats. They really owned it. They still own the teacher's union - although, the stock in that ownership has plummeted as of late. Why bring this up? Looking out over the landscape, the issues which really matter to the American people, have become firmly stocked in the Republican's bunker. Education is only one of them. Maybe a brief glimpse should be in order right now:

Education - It is a mess in our country right now, and the Republicans know it. However, the scales really started to tip when CRT became a topic in many school districts. Once parents found out how toxic that subject is, many parents flooded to school board meeting to protest. What was the response by our Democrat President? He unleashed the FBI on those parents, treating them like "domestic terrorists". All of a sudden, education became a huge Republican issue to run on. Remember Virginia?

Covid - Slo Joe ran on Covid. Said (unlike Trump), he would be the "Covid President". Really? What has Slo Joe done? I mean Donald Trump was the champion of Project Warp Speed, which has saved hundreds of thousands of lives. Under Biden's leadership, more people have died under his watch, than under Trump's watch. Huh? Yes, check out the southern border. Letting all kinds of illegals in the country, from all over the place. Untested, and infected. Every variant known to man has come over the southern border. And now Omicron might be coming. Well played Slo Joe. Covid once again, this will be a giant Republican issue.

Law and Order - Never been a Democrat stronghold. Now it is even more of a Republican issue. Why? Seen the smash and grabs as of late? The crime stats in most cities? Carjackings in Minneapolis? Solid red - almost a dayglow red issue in 2022.

Immigration - You are kidding, right? Seen the southern border? Listened to the bald headed Cuban who runs DHS? We are been invaded right now. Over 2 million new illegals under Biden. This is ALL on Biden. Again - another dayglow red issue for 2022. 

Energy - We have gone from energy independent, to on our knees, begging OPEC for more oil. Why? Biden's love for the Squad. Every voter who goes to the pump knows only one thing - Biden, YOU DID THIS! Huge issue for Republicans in 2022.

There are many, many more issues that are resting in the Republican camp right now. The Democrat machine has self destructed, with little or no help from the Republicans. The red team just stood out of the way, and watched the blue team implode. That being said, in 2022 Republicans need to do two things - 1) Put up excellent candidates and 2) run each race like they are 10 points behind, instead of being 40 points ahead. If we do that, we should be able to paint the town (and the country), red.
