Establishment Republicans are indicating that they would rather see Democratic electoral wins rather than grassroots conservatives justifying a long-standing fear from the party base that GOP elites are closer to Democrats than to the conservative movement.
The preference by Republicans submerged in the swamp for a sensible candidate to win was on display throughout the 2016 presidential campaign, when many Republicans kept Trump at arms length and jumped to the nearest microphone to criticize him at any opportunity.

From the senate elections in 2018, the vast majority running are Democrat...only eight GOP seats are up. I could see two of them flipping. But from the 23 Democratic seats coming up, I think at least three will go GOP. Michigan, as a shocker, with Kid Rock possibly running...will be something that the moderate GOP guys won't be able to stand.
I see at least six GOP Senators in 2020 being primaried out and replaced.
Our entire political establishment at present has all been selling out working Americans.
We now run a MASSIVE trade deficit with China. Everything in every single large store in America is now made in China.
(I know, not literally, but it is very bad. I also understand there are other countries with which we have trade problems, I am not just focusing on China)
But it is the worst.

Every year, more and more jobs go to China. This is the new political issue - jobs in America, or jobs in China. Our ENTIRE political establishment has been selling out American jobs for so long, it has started to destroy the party system.
Trump seems to be for American jobs. Finally. But he is not yet acting on this issue. EVERYONE ELSE is all for continuing to build up China.
Every single industry.
I believe out entire political system might do a complete flip, dems might just flip to the GOP, and old-style Republicans (who are sold out to China) become ever-more beholden to outside interests, and less Republican.
This might just become a critical issue, very quickly.
Stand up Trump. For America.
You are being too kind. Obi-Wan KeBannon and Yoda Gorka now have the Deep State terrified and that fear will make them even more vulnerable.
I can see to a degree why you would prognosticate your feelings but we are not in Kansas anymore. Trump is now calling out the media to expose the Clinton/Russia true collusion to their faces and not just on Twitter. This thing is just getting started and will explode when Sessions orders the termination of the NDA the key witnesses were forced to sign and are brought up to the Senate Judiciary and now the House Intelligence investigations started.
The Dimms are going to be decimated, to the chagrin of the GOPe because they know they can’t lead and are perfectly fine to let the Dimms be the face of killing any sort of Trump, the People’s, agenda. The only thing they are good at is sniping along the sidelines.
Ironically enough, they will be on the sidelines and then be told to turn in their uniforms and playbooks.
“Establishment Republicans Appear to Be Hoping for Democratic Election Wins”
You mean, like they did in 2016?
it’s the same bunch who were supporting Hillary Clinton last year.
Duh.
RINOs, all of the GOP E.
The GOP won’t be in power once Trump is gone.
Conclusion, no matter what they call themselves, establishment republicans are democrat.
You're a lot more optimistic than I am.
Gee what would make you say THAT?
The repubE congress critters like their cushy jobs. Live large primarily off the government teat. Parties, trips, people always bowing to them.
And , with the dims in power they have someone to blame as the Country goes downhill
They can just sit back and enjoy the good life.
A bunch of indecisive wimps. There isn’t 4 conjones between them.
Hmm.. so judge Moore best watch his back. They love their corruptocrats like strange. I think we should start praying for him, clearly this democratic deals are being called from the top.
And we have been saying, what purpose did we elect these guys so they could pass all Dems legislation.
Double insurance company profits and call for More taxpayer cash for insurers.
These “bastards” are only in it for themselves and the enrichment thereof. No other reason.
They have absolutely no regard to the voters who put them into office after believing the campaign lies. Democrats/Republicans......there is no longer any difference between the two except one party can lie and deceive better than the other.
It’s time to form a new party that actually represents the law abiding, honest hard working people who take it upon themselves to be TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS!
If we continue on the path we are on we will actually be on the path to political slavery.
Which is another reason why conservatives need to find and run DINOs in ‘Rat primaries.
Going into battle with pessimism only beets failure. Always shoot for the moon, you’ll never get there listening to someone else saying your feet have to stay on the ground.

Trump is already doing what he can, as he can.
Your head is up your @ss.
Nope.
I have supported Trump right here on FR since the very beginning. Since BEFORE he even announced his candidacy.
But he has not (yet) started acting to bring back manufacturing from China.
Not yet.
