On Morning Joe this am, there was a discussion

about the new Karl Rove-like strategist for the GOP for the 20018 Elections.

I can't remember the strategist's name but he said that the republicans will target Leader Pelosi and how evil and scheming another Congressional Session with Pelosi as Speaker of the House will be! Cong Pelosi will be getting Hillaried this election campaign and every republican will run on being elected to prevent the return to power of Pelosi...

Can we be ready to counter/refute the smears that will be directed her way?

I only bring this up because we ALL know how effectively the constant Hillary smears worked in 2008 & 2016...

a huge number of the ads were against Pelosi, as if Jon Ossoff were her long time friend. I think this strategy has already started.

This is standard OP of the GOP for the last 20+ yrs. Create a boogeyman in Washington that strikes fear into the hearts of rural america. Have your local GOP candidate run against that boogeyman and attach the Dem opponent to that said boogeyman as well (they will be a puppet of Pelosi/Schumer). Basically whoever they hired is just rehashing the campaign strategy that has worked, not like he's thinking outside the box.
