The biggest "frightener" is the fact that these tactics may well work in his favour although I would expect the Democrats to do likewise in preaching to their supporters to "turn up and vote in droves" for these mid-term elections - it is absolutely imperative and I think the sudden negative turnaround in Dakota is a big "wake up call"! It is a political opportunity not to be missed and they surely have enough "ammunition" against the Republicans and the Trump administration to do considerable damage but they still need to mobilise and maximise that support.
