Do you think Trump plans on stealing the midterms for the Republicans? [View all]

If so, how do you think he will try to do it?

Would we assume that the Republicans are in on the "steal"?

Can he affect the election enough by attempting to brand Democrats as "communists"? Will that suppress Democrats and increase turnout for Republicans? I doubt it, but if there is enough repetition and FOX News stays on the "communists" story every day, who knows?

He is desperate and the Republicans are desperate to win the next election.

What do you think is their plan?
