The collapse of the DEM party, predicted by so many here on FR after 11/8/2016, has been greatly exaggerated.

The way I see it, if it takes a bloodbath to purge the GOP, so be it.
If anything, I actually think the bloodbath increases Trump’s re-election chances, because now it’s a clear choice, Trump or the Rats, the RINOs will have been rendered irrelevant.
Reagan did just fine despite the GOP getting routed in the 1982 midterms.

Were going to get our asses kicked.We'll see what happens over the next couple of months. The trend may not be the GOP's friend - debatable - but the Democrats have 2-3 Swords of Damocles hanging over their heads that could very well come swinging down soon.

the Republican Party has not earned respect by supporting trumps efforts to make America great again.
They either oppose, obstruct, or give luke warm support.
It's true that the Congressional Republicans will bear the chief blame if they get wiped out in November. I've never seen a party be less supportive of its President, or of the People who elected that President.
They are the biggest bunch of cowards and sellouts I've ever seen in my life, and if they'll have no one else to blame if they lose power.
The only thing they have going for them is the People's knowledge that the kooky Democrats would be in control, and not very many Americans should want that.

The president has stated his intention to campaign for House and Senate candidates across the country this Fall.
This should help.

BLATANT ELECTION FRAUD !
DemocRATS will NEVER leave elections in the hands of the voters again, after Trump won !
STEALING ELECTIONS WITH COMPUTERS and
Technology Cybercrimes, watch Bloomberg's
Digital Defense November 3, 2016 (19:40).
To better understand
"THE MASTER KEY" to stealing elections with computers, watch:
I'LL
NEVER TRUST ANOTHER COMPUTER COUNTED ELECTION AGAIN !
Things have changed!
Bennie Smith, a Memphis computer programmer, discovered HOW this is done through a
" ... a GEMS tabulatorfor Global Election Management Systemwhich is a personal computer installed with Diebold software that sits in a windowless room in the countys election headquarters.
The tabulator is the brains of the system.
It monitors the voting machines, sorts out which machines have delivered data and which havent, and tallies the results.
As voting machines check in and their votes are included in the official count, each machines status turns green on the GEMS master panel.
A red light means the upload has failed.
At the end of Memphiss election night in October 2015, there was no indication from the technician running Shelby Countys GEMS tabulator that any voting machine hadnt checked in or that any votes had gone missing, according to election commission e-mails obtained by Bloomberg Businessweek.
Yet as county technicians followed up on the evidence from Smiths poll-tape photo, they discovered more votes that never made it into the election night count, all from precincts with large concentrations of black voters. ... "
Diebold Election Systems changed its name in 2006 to
Premier Election Solutions.
Bloomberg's article titled
How to Protect Against Election Day Hacking gives more proof of this by Memphis computer programmer Bennie Smith.
"... The method Smith used to catch the problem should be a playbook for any candidate, party or concerned citizen worried about the accurate tallying of their votes:Smith snapped some pictures of printed voting tallies (known as poll tapes) at a high-turnout polling location and then compared the results there to the electronic tabulations.
This is a very good, if labor-intensive, way to check to ensure that votes are being counted correctly.
Smith has created a proof-of-concept program called Fraction Magic, showing how corrupt officials could tamper with GEMS to manipulate election outcomes.

“...people will soon see the tax cuts in their paycheck.”
________________________________________________________
People will see those tax cuts in their paychecks starting next month.
The economy will continue to grow all year. Hopefully that will help.
But Republicans have to haul their a$$es to the polls.
A 17% GOP turnout in Wisconsin for this state senate seat is pathetic. So is 650,000 Trump voters staying home and not voting for Moore in Alabama.
As I mentioned in a previous post, the president intends to campaign for House and Senate candidates across the country. This should help.

But Republicans have to haul their a$$es to the polls. There's no reason to think they won't, once November rolls around.
As long as the President is active, and the economy keeps growing, the GOP should be OK in November—despite themselves.
There's no basis for presuming November will be a bloodbath—not based on a couple of races.
It's simply too far into the future, and I can't believe that so many around are yet again falling for the gaslighting from the Propaganda Media.
Taking the entire "special election" cycle as a whole, the GOP is doing fine. The Roy Moore situation was a special case, and the donations are strong in general.
If the Republicans get out the vote, they'll perform adequately, and there's no excuse for 2016 GOP voters not to get out and vote in November 2018...

And we have some more US House specials coming up, in PA, OH, and AZ, we can’t expect to be able to do just drive to the hoop for a layup.
Did Scott Walker do anything in this State Sen special?

Never Trumpers sit around wanting to be proved right, though already wrong.

I think we need to take this seriously. Democrats’ rage is real, and anger is a great motivator. They are as mad as we were about Hussein in 2010. There’s a reason the minority party usually wins in midterms following a new president getting sworn in.
We can’t fool ourselves by pointing to modest wins in huge GOP districts in special elections or defective candidates as the cause for loss. We need to make sure our voters get out and vote in November and protect our president.
To: Maris Crane
Actually we won 4/5. Two in SC, One in in IA, and one in KS. We lost the one in WI.
