In the battle for control of Congress, President Donald Trump's weapon of choice is fear.
At a rally for Republican Senate nominee Matt Rosendale in Billings, Montana, on Thursday night, the president warned his faithful that Democrats would raise their taxes, take their guns, block his wall, abolish the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, open U.S. borders, end Social Security and cut Medicare.
He's also warned supporters this summer that the outcome in November could spell trouble for freedom of speech and religion and the First Amendment - and that if the GOP loses, violence could follow.
The overwhelming majority of the claims are patently false, but with two months to go - and analysts in both parties convinced that theres a nonremote chance Republicans could lose at least the House - Trump is in desperation mode.
Trump's biggest motivator - for himself and for his base - is the specter of impeachment.
"This election you arent just voting for a candidate, you are voting for which party controls Congress - very important," he said Thursday night. "I say how do you impeach someone who is doing a great job that hasnt done anything wrong."
He painted the picture of a country thrown into turmoil by tit-for-tat partisan impeachments to make the case for why Democrats shouldn't be empowered.
"You have a country that's going to turn into a third-world country because if the opposite party becomes president, every time, before it starts - before you even find out whether or not he or she is going to do a great job - they'll say we want to impeach him," he said. "If it does happen, it's your fault because you didn't go out to vote."

Big day for Jonathan Allen. Well, hes a big guy.
NBC=Ministry of Propaganda
"Jonathan Allen, co-author of the New York Times-bestselling Clinton [campaign? 02/2014] biography "HRC," has covered Congress, the White House and elections over the past 15 years."
Yet Virginia just proved every word President Trump said is correct. before the Democrats have even taken control, they promise to grab the guns, using the National Guard if necessary; make Virginia a sanctuary state, and tax the heck out of corporations to give to people they choose.
Literally (and I use that word specifically) everything he said is playing out on the national stage. And NBC calls it fear and loathing. Well, I am sure afraid of the Democrats and I sure loathe them, so I guess NBC is right.
Too bad they don’t have comments on their page.
“...the president warned his faithful that Democrats would raise their taxes, take their guns, block his wall, abolish the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, open U.S. borders, end Social Security and cut Medicare.
He’s also warned supporters this summer that the outcome in November could spell trouble for freedom of speech and religion and the First Amendment - and that if the GOP loses, violence could follow.”
NBC “news” is going to have to get a bigger rug to shove these comments under to hide them. Every one of these claims has already started and has a completely understandable conclusion in their needs. The POTUS is not lying, he’s describing. They can’t even be responsible for their own action after they do them and lie about not doing them. “Cowards they are,” says Yoda.
