RNC poll finds GOP voters aren’t worried about midterms. That’s bad
Conservative Review ^ | 9/18/18 | Chris Pandolfo

Posted on 09/18/2018 8:30:46 PM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

Fully half of self-identified Republicans don’t believe Democrats are likely to win back the House. And within that group, 57 percent of people who describe themselves as strong Trump supporters don’t believe Democrats have a chance (37 percent believe they do). …

Most here are overconfident also, just like it says in this article. So in that sense, the article correctly captures the prevailing feeling of invincibility in GOP circles...

Yet in Texas Cruz has opened up a 9 point lead and a State Senate seat was won by a Republican in a district that Hillary took by 12 points.

No, we aren't handwringers and know we are going to win by voting!

The RNC is run by a bunch of losers.

“If overconfident Republican voters stay home

That is the KEY issue, Trump voters WANT to vote again.

This is why the Q garbage is destructive

“Trust Sessions”

“Sit back and enjoy the show”

“Panic in DC”

“Trump’s got this”

The RNC is not confident that they’ll be able to help their Democrat Deep State buddies win back the House!

Delusional. Just as delusional as Democrats thinking Hillary was going to win.

Like the minute-man forefathers of old, conservatives showed up at the polls in 2016 to do their part but then they went back to their hearths and ken to lead their lives in private. No guarantee they will help again.

Trump’s approval amongst republicans is probably 90%. The RNC should send absentee applications out to the republications that voted in 2016. With lit outlining what a Pelosi administration would look like, maybe with pictures of Americans that were killed by illegals over the past few years. They’ll be 40 million earl votes for republican candidates and they’ll bury the socialists.

Maybe they aren’t worried because they’re going to get out and vote.

Stop the negative garbage!!!!!! Republicans are confident of victory because they know they are going to vote in greater numbers than ever before. We are fired up and throwing a wet blanket on the fire can only help the Dems, so SHUT UP!!!!!
