The thrust of this story is that Democrat Senate candidates are doing better than expected in places where Republicans normally win. My gut tells they are having a pipe dream. Thoughts?

Cruz coasts to an easy win, Trump holding a rally for him in Oct.

I think it is better to have facts and figures than a gut. We do know this: the party that is out of power, picks up seats in the first mid term election. There are a few exceptions, and they are unusual.

So instead of the embarrassing Pollyannas and there are many here, loudly proclaiming we will pick up 65 seats in the House and 12 in the Senate, to do some homework, regroup and then work and vote and make sure others vote, too.

It’s all about turnout. Whichever side gets more people motivated to show up will win.

Hmmm. let me guess...No commie care repeal, no wall, repubs have majority in house and senate.

Any questions?

Bret Baier was salivating over this story last night - as was his No Star Panel.

[rrrod]

Hold the house and pick up 6-8 Senate seats..

I don’t know, it doesn’t see that TCruz is doing much campaigning in TX. Even party spokesmen are unimpressed with his chances.

My gut tells me Faux news slipped over to the dark side a long time ago. More fake news trying to subtly undermine enthusiasm on the right. I’ve felt much better since I came to that realization about Faux news over 6 years ago now, CNN light.

1. Senate Republicans are not supporting the president’s agenda with enthusiasm and in many cases are actively opposing it. The wall is not being funded because there are not enough Republican votes in the Senate to include funding in the budget.

2. The GOP has no message for its base other than “we passed a tax cut.” Funding for the wall - nothing. Tax simplification - nothing. Infrastructure - nothing. Cutting wasteful social programs - nothing. Fiscal responsibility - nothing. Securing the border - nothing. They are still supporting big government and globalism and the voters know it.

The GOP has wasted two years of controlling both houses of Congress and the executive branch. This was the perfect year to resurrect the “Contract for America” and run on a positive conservative agenda. The truth is, there is no agenda other than passing special interest bills to benefit the donor class.

Once again, GOP voters will reluctantly go to the polls to vote for the lesser of two evils. How sad.

Ha ha ha ha F&*K YOU Faux News. Republicans take 11 Democrat Senate seats. Take that to the bank.

[TBP]

They’re polling registered voters, not likely voters. They continue to oversample Democrats. And they’re still only “close”, not leading.

LOL ping.
