If FR is any example, then anti-Trump sentiments will be strong enough to keep a lot of Repubs from exerting themselves.

The GOPe is doing everything it can to hand Congress over to the Marxists. Trump breaking his campaign promises on Syria and The Wall is not helping to motivate conservatives.

I think this going to be a fly in the ointment that is going to be the beginning of the shake-up of America like we have never seen:

Trump is not on the ballot, and the midterms will really come down to individual races, pedigree and district leanings. That being said, the stupid party as individual members have dug a huge hole for themselves. Failures all the way around except for the tax cut. Votes for the democrats dream budget, failure to eliminate Obamacare, no action on appointees, constant carping on national priorities like the wall. Major traitors within the party that match Maxine and Nancy in hatred for Americans. Why the hell would anyone vote for a congressional republican at this point.

Baring major indictments of democrats and their allies, Republicans, on an individual basis could get crushed. And this despite years of redistricting to improve their district voter configuration.

To win in November Democrats must convince voters that the following actions they are on record as promising to do are good things: 1) Repeal the Trump tax cuts 2) Repeal the Second Amendment; 3) Impeach President Trump and 4) Virtually erase the southern border and disband ICE.
They were fooled by a fake poll telling them they were up 20 points in a generic poll,dropped their guard and said what they really want to do.

There will be no Blue Wave.

This is not to say Republicans deserve to hold the House; it is to say we the American people know we don’t deserve the punishment we will receive by putting Democrats back in charge of our life. Americans will not be voting for Republicans; we will be voting against Democrats.

“In other words, swing your country hard right and the pendulum swings back.”

I would agree with that, but I think the ugliness of the Left constantly on open display may be a factor this time. If we can run some good candidates we should win. Roy Moore was too weird.

The question is whether the President can motivate his base to turn out

No! The question is whether conservatives, FReepers, TeaParty, AFP, 912 and other groups will do nothing and expect Trump to do it all .... or will grassroots conservatives get off their rear ends, leave their keyboards, and go knock on the door of their neighbors and sell their local candidate to their friends and neigbhors.

The militia needs to understand that they are needed in the trenches, fighting for their freedom.

“But the time now seem late for these crimes to effect 2018.”

On the contrary. The news cycle is so short now, and the dumb masses are so simplified if you start frog marching Dems too far out the media will have time to declare them innocent and declare Trump to be worse than Hitler. The evidence has to be incontrovertible.

If every generic DvR poll had 40% zzGOP the narrative would be weak. But I guess Rep registered voters are under sampled always. Margin would narrow if polled likely voters which pollstafs do in Fall.

If good, anti-establishment Republicans are on the ticket this fall, as the plan all along has been to primary the RINOs and give us back our party, then Republicans WILL deserve to win, and stand a good chance of winning.

I used to be a big fan of CTH, still am in fact but Sundance has been completely wrong about Session and Rosenstein playing 3 dimensional chess to everyone else’s checkers. So I take whatever he has to say about the Big Ugly with a huge grain of salt.

Re IG report: First it was do in Jan, then March, then April and now it suppose to be out in May. Why the delays? Me thinks someone (Session, Rosenstein) is stalling. Just like they (Seesions, Rosenstein, Wray) are stalling on giving Congress the docs Congress wants to see.

Bradman aka Sundance ends up being wrong about most things. The few things he actually gets right dont require much insight, just a working knowledge of current events. He is the definition of OVER RATED.

“...they may be a&& clowns...”

Nah.

They are foxes who have been indoctrinated into far-left,
subversive action, hiding behind the Constitution, children, old people, students...doing the human shield routine.

The revolution is everything to them and they will grind down anything that stands in their way.

IMHO
