Republican strategists have turned decidedly pessimistic...

If ABC doesn't have the balls to 'name names' I'm going to assume they're lying.

If it happens, it will be with the help of the GOP. We’ve seen this many times over the years.

Because the American people overwhelmingly support higher taxes, more govt spending, govt takeover of their medical choices, open borders, war games to chest- bump Russia, carbon controls on their lives as dictated by Europeans, boys showering with girls, trannies representing the US military, politicians controlled by BLM and Antifa, and getting another president held in such contrmpt by our biggest strategic foe China, that she is forced to climb out the assend of Air Force One on a state visit?

Yeah theres the ticket to vote democrat

Let’s not play red jerseys vs blue jerseys any more. That game is so over.

A constitutional agenda, the Trump America First agenda. Those people in congress are there for that, or against that.

I don’t care which party you are using to get your scum money and scummier sex affairs. Do you Rep the American People, or are you selling them out for your own cash, power, and orgasms? Those are our only choices.

I like it when another freeper understands the sitch.

I’d be happier with Sanderistas and other Lefties in Congress. Then we could fight them on ideas and goals for Americans. The republicans are not our friends. They are as fake as the diamond rings in quarter toy machines.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the GOP gave it away to thwart Trump. They don’t have the stones to lead.

"If the election were held today, the House would be gone. Fortunately, the election is not today."

That seems a lot less than "virtual certainty".

Are these the same inside-the-Beltway Republican strategists who were "virtually certain" that Donald Trump would lose?

If Trump isn't polling ahead of where Obama was in October 2010 (as poorly as -20), that could be. But Trump was -13 on Rasmussen on Friday, and I think voters outside of the Beltway and the deep blue states will enjoy having a few more dollars in their pockets, despite Pelosi calling the tax cuts "crumbs".

Here’s the difference. Democrats always want to win. Republicans are happy playing second fiddle.

Ten months away, which is a lifetime in politics. This is going to swing back and forth several times before election day as far as who’s going to win the house.

But djt needs to Drain the washDC Swamp Instead of just talking about it

He needs to stop giving them 6 months to do something, because of that we have trannies being recruited as we speak. He also needs to just ignore these rogue judges. Somehow we have ceded power to these district judges that they don't have.

GOP will lose about 10 seats in CA alone due to passing the biggest tax increase in state history. Maybe lying about a phony tax cut bill wasn’t such a good idea, Mr Trump?

I just saw a report this morning on One America News that because of redistricting they felt the Republicans might pick up seats in California for 2018. SO who is right?????

Democrats vote party, not issues.

If anyone could blow this, the GOP can.

However the Democrats are not all the popular either. Sure we see the vocal, loud, rude, destructive 5% the media hypes to us as “all of America” but it isn’t. Alabama was fluke, bad candidate, issues were not discussed, a candidate who did not deny the charges of pedophilia, now more concerned with a fairy tail of voter fraud and not about clearing his name. I throw that out the window. Democrats spent tons of money down there and got the media to smear the republican 24/7 with national coverage, for a month, with ZERO evidence. Can they scale that formula? Can they call every single GOP candidate in 2018 a dirty old pedo? I doubt so. They got lucky.

The democrats are the ones in trouble, they have a band that nobody is buying. If the GOP keeps up with MAGA they will win in 2018, if they stray and return to their roots of Demcorat Lite, the Democrats, even they the American Public hates them, will end up winning.

It won’t surprise me. And the pubs have only themselves to blame . McCain, Graham, Flake(perfect name) and many more Rinos.
