GOP, Dems offer sharply different closing arguments for midterms

A week before the midterm elections, Republicans and Democrats’ closing arguments mark a sharp contrast in tone and content as party leaders scramble to turn out voters in the first national referendum on the presidency of Donald Trump.

Democrats’ final pitch to voters is largely focusing on the key kitchen-table issues of health care and the economy. Trump and his GOP allies are doubling down on the culture wars.

Republicans are warning of what they say is a dangerous caravan of migrants heading to the southern border, “mobs” of left-wing radicals, and a biased liberal media generating “fake news” stories about Trump.

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) is still talking up the Trump tax cuts and the booming economy, asking voters if they are “Better Off Now,” the GOP’s official slogan of the 2018 campaign.

And shooting up synagogues.

Are they talking about the people being mean to Senators while they're eating their dinner?
