GOP midterms strategy: Make it a "hate election"
Republicans acknowledge their midterm prospects are poor and are relying on voters' dislike of Democrats to win. GOP strategists argue that public anger toward Democrats outweighs anger toward Republicans, but internal frustrations persist over Trump's focus on non-economic issues. Polls suggest Democrats may gain a House majority, and Trump's approval ratings remain negative.
