Those guys?
Typically, the party that is the hungriest and fights the hardest to win is rewarded with victory. This was not McCain in 2008, not Romney in 2012, not Hillary in 2016, and most certainly not today's Congressional GOP.
Do not be at all shocked when you wake up the morning after election day to see the Republicans have squandered everything.
I know I won't be.
What do you mean by “squandered”? This is mere manipulation.
They are the same as the Democrats. We saw this with their refusal to do anything about Obamacare after promising to repeal it (later they sneaked in “repeal and replace”, indicating replacing it with more government “healthcare”), never mind funding everything Obama wanted during his last two years on office.
We were warned that they are the same as the Democrats back in the late 1950s and very early 1960s in books such as “The Naked Communist” and “The Conscience of a Conservative”. And that was six decades ago.
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.
