What is happening with Bruce Ohr?

they are believing their own bullshit and not looking at anything but what they think, their fantasy world is not reality

You're describing the republican party, which, by the way, is shrinking in size with each passing day.

The Republican party is definitely shrinking.  It's been shrinking for a while as younger people and non-white citizens identify more as Democrats or Democrat-leaning Independents.  All of the research from voter registrations confirm that to be the case.  

I don't hear Republican lawmakers denying that problem/challenge, just the opposite.  They're focused on trying to get around the numbers challenge by amping up their base in order to win elections by achieving higher voter turn-out rates than Democrats.  Republican voters have been more committed to getting to the polls than Democrats historically. 

In the Presidential elections, the popular vote is overridden by the electoral college vote and mitigates the numbers problem for Republicans, as we've seen several times over the last couple of decades.  

But, in the midterms, the numbers challenge is a very big deal.  It's something Paul Ryan and RNC officials have been pounding on donors about as November approaches.

Democrats need to do much better at getting out the vote in mid-terms than they have in the past.  They seem to be all over it in 2018 based on what I'm reading and hearing.  Will be interesting to see how it plays out in November.

The percentage of affiliated Democrats is also down nationwide.  More citizens are registering as Independents than Democrat or Republican in the 39 states that allow it.

For the first time ever here in California, for example, Independents bumped Republicans out of second place for voter registrations this year.  I get the impression that people outside of the state imagine everyone in California is a Democrat or an Independent liberal.  That's false.  We have several large deep red districts in the state wherein Democrat candidates haven't stood a chance in ages.  This year, however, the DNC believes there is real opportunity to flip some of them and they're aggressively pursuing those congressional seats.
