I think we are going to be slaughtered in 2018. I really do. I think we may lose both House and Senate. We have lost every race since November. We lost seats in Oklahoma, Georgia, Alabama, Iowa, etc. and I am talking red areas turning blue. I am pissed off because Congress itself has done nothing and voters are noticing. The main reason I am pissed off is the Senate specifically where we can finally really make a dent in the judiciary. We are off to a great start but they need to speed it up in 2018 in case we lose the opportunity in 2019. We should be heading to 60 senate seats in 2018, not desperately holding on. Thank God the House is so gerrymandered that we MIGHT be able to keep a slim majority, but no guarantees. So much wasted opportunity.
Oh, I have no doubt that some will spit all over me for being a downer, but quite frankly the ridiculous rose colored glasses that some of you wear is really getting highly pathetic and idiotic.
Well if that’s what you think then find a new hobby, don’t vote, and by all means save us the bandwidth.
Because no one here is in the losing industry because of what you feel or think. We had enough of you guys back in 216 to last a lifetime.
Three NH House seats that have never in history been won by Democrats have flipped in special elections since November 2016.
I agree that 2018 is going to be a wipeout for the GOP. I am one who believes that the GOP is standing in the way of major social and political transformation, and having it burned to the ground will be a step in the right direction.
I just wish it had been the Democratic party that burned down first.
I'm not quite as pessimistic as you. I think the GOP holds the Senate, and maybe picks up a seat or two. But it won't be a nearly as big a win as it might have been. I think the House is in far more danger. The Republicans in states like New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and California could pay the price for their vote on the tax plan. About the only thing that might save it is the idea of a Speaker Pelosi again. If the Democrats were smart she'd step down from the leadership and allow a fresh face to be considered as Speaker. But I don't think they're that smart.
You remain a childish jackass.
Um, there is a primary in 2018 too. Get the RINOS outed and we have a great chance in the general with a MAGA candidate.
I agree. 54 seats likely for Democrats in the Senate. Probably won’t lose the House - that will take 2 cycles. And the media is going to go gangbusters now against Trump on the allegations against him. Be prepared for more ugly old broads to be on TV crying their eyes out.
