Republicans fear deep losses in 2018 elections
The Hill ^ | December 13, 2017 | Reid Wilson

Posted on 12/13/2017 6:13:14 AM PST by C19fan

After years of strong gains in states across the country, Republicans now fear they stand to lose hundreds of state legislative seats in next year’s midterm elections if there is a significant voter backlash against President Trump.

Any losses would come at the worst time: Just ahead of the redistricting process that begins with the 2020 census.

What’s a Republican? Is that like a freaky part of the Unity-Party? Didn’t they go extinct back in 1964 when Goldwater lost? Is it kinda like a FRINO (Fake-Republican In Name Only)?

And, so it begins.

Funny to see how many of these downtrodden articles, about Moore and GOP losing in 2018, were ready to roll out, so quickly.

They created their own damn problem by being wishy washy and unwilling to do the hard work.


Exactly. To a man/woman, they are a disgrace to our nation, and to those who died under our flag. America’s traditional way of life has been destroyed by these clowns...There is a reason they live behind walls.

You expect to survive the burning ?


Nope.

Neither did our founding fathers.

Give me liberty, or give me death.

It’s their fault in the first place. They can’t unite behind their own, why should they expect anyone to be enthusiastic to vote for them? The Democrats have the right idea.

Mitch & the Beltway Boys are OK with losing. For them it’s better to be the minority party than the party of MAGA.

Will they be OK being replaced by democrats ?

We need to nominate carbon copies of CINC: he showed us how to bring the dems over to our side.

It’s really that simple. Mid-term candidates need only amplify Trumptitude, while we triple down on vote fraud.

After 8 years of a horrible economy, my healthcare screwed up, I can’t bring myself to do that.

They did this to themselves. Never so dense and dumb as those who do not see... and the establishment only see themselves as knowing how to do this and only they as important.. only they are worthy of a raise.. only they are worthy of deciding who can be in their congress and who can’t.. it doesn’t depend on who has the dirt background... nope.. it depends on who would be their underling.. their superior until they are given permission to join the elite club.

The DA**** establishment are so imbedded in congress, they have brought disaster and rot in their midst... and if we can’t clean them out, we are not going to make it! if the dems ever get back in control, our country will go the way of every other country that let the frog be cooked and the camel in the tent.. it’s a fast creep into destruction... if we let it. We have to do more than talk it to death!

If the Republicans run a bunch more pedophiles and don’t push across any major legislation, they’ll probably be in heap big trouble.

Republicans fear deep losses in 2018 elections... Seems like they are hoping for it.

They don’t fear losses, they are hoping and praying for them, while spending every nickel they can to make sure they don’t have a Majority that would force them to implement the policies put forth by President Trump on behalf of the American People.

These people are SCUM!

I agree. Democrats will run us all into the ground if given half a chance.

The problem is, Rome will be just fine, and will likely grow and become more bloated and oppressive. We, however, will end up in chains.

IF THEY HAD SUPPORTED MOORE WE WOULD BE CELEBRATING TODAY

With ALL the democrats, and ALL the media against him, and ALL the swamp dweller GOP establishment against him, and being outspent 14 to 1, he still only lost by 1%.

AND I BET THERE WAS MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD.

You don’t get 48% turnout from one group, and 90% turnout from another...

THIS LOSS IS McCONNELLS FAULT

AND THEY ARE DOUBLING DOWN ON STUPID IF THE *FEAR* 2018 LOSSES.
