My friends: We are in the drivers seat. 2018 Senate. Rats are defending 23 seats, including 10 in states Trump won. We’ll be lucky to pick up 3 when 10 is more than possible. Top tier candidates won’t run. That’s why.
We are back to the same basic failure of the 2017 election, and the Democratic national strategy...which just walks away from rural or heartland perceptions, and sees the Democratic Party as urban group only. It would seem like nothing has been learned from the Hillary loss, and full-speed ahead.
This could be the coup de gras for us. Set up Trump throughout his 2nd term. Won’t happen. Our leaders are letting Trump do all the work. No one has his back. Just like Gary Coopers friends in High Noon.
Somebody is really missing the point. It's been a hate campaign in the media since Trump was nominated and it's gone absolutely insane since he took office. That's the "new normal". And people really don't like it. And the press really won't recognize it.
Eighteen months before the next general election. Literally an infinity in politics. The Republicans seem incapable or unwilling to pass most of the Trump agenda that requires legislation. Yet if Trump through administrative action is successful in reviving the economy so the people sense real prosperity and economic growth, secures the borders, deports criminal aliens and thwarts terrorism, Republicans will be reelected despite themselves.
Low population states like Montana and ND are cheap for advertising. Term limited Governors can run in Mich., Wisc., Fla., even Maine and Ohio. There’s even room for the Terminator, Chris Christie and Rudy. Don’t forget Tom Ridge. We need a full court press. Trump can deal with the RINOS. Won’t happen but they’ll sure ask for our money.
Michigan = Snyder ? RINO squish. Hell, no.
Ohio = Pig Vomit the Soros Puppet ? He’s a Democrat agent.
California = Ah-nold the Austrian Socialist ? Wasn’t 7+ years of his Republican destroying leadership of California bad enough ? He turned the state hard to Stalinist.
NJ = Stay Puft ? He’s toxic in the state. The Dems are expected to take his office as a result in November.
NY = Rudy ? He’s not going to run for anything anymore.
PA = Tom Ridge ? Pro-abort Bushbot and anti-Trumper RINO ? Hell, no !
I’m just saying the Rats would have to put more effort into keeping those seats they are expected to win. If Flake and Heller lose it’s then no big deal.
the bashing the press does really feeds the liberal base of the democrat party but it turns off the middle of the road voter. I think if the press keeps it up we will see the destruction of the democrat party as a national party. but be ware in a lot of ways the republican party is set two fracture into two parties. the truth is that there are two republican parties and they are going to end up fighting each other eventually.
Any reason why term limited Susan Martinez of NM should not run? Trump wasn’t that kind to her but perhaps Mitch will be.
Run people that are actually on our side, not those helping the anti-America left. Those cretins make Flake and Heller look like Jesse Helms.
Martinez has relatively low approval ratings (low 40s) and hasn’t expressed any interest in running for the Senate.
Ohio has a candidate, Josh Mandel is seeking a rematch.
A poll a few weeks ago had him LEADING Brown.
Correct.
The Democrats and Media (but I repeat myself) are still in their Bubble, and they don't even realize what a Fake News laughingstock they've become.
They still haven't accepted the result of November's election, and the People are getting sick and tired of seeing the Swamp trying to undermine this President.
I hope President Trump takes the fight right to the heart of the Swamp. I think the President needs to enlist the People in this struggle against the entrenched corruption and criminality in the Federal government.The more Revolutionary his rhetoric is, the better.
The People who don't happen to live in California and New York are ready to make American great again. We just didn't realize how necessary it might be to drain the Swamp first—and fight a lengthy and brutal political civil war in order to do so.
President Trump needs to call out the Media—for being the Enemy of the People—and he also needs to get the People fully behind him in his crusade to Drain the Swamp. If he can do that, he'll be a wildly successful President.
We just all have to realize that it will be a very slow and painful process, what with all of the slimy Democrat thugs, propagandists, liars, and brazen criminals who are in the way.
But they will ultimately be ground into dust...
Knowing Pig Vomit, he may try to enter the primary to sabotage Mandel in order to help Brown.
My thoughts too. The Democrats will implode. It will become the party of minorities...and funding will disappear.
The Republicans will split, with the GOPe becoming the new Left, and the remaining Republicans being the conservative party.
I doubt it. He’s obsessed with the Presidency, or selling books.
But it sounds like they hate each other and Kasich probably won’t endorse him, which I would expel Kasich from the state party ever.
I don’t put it past him. I remember when the Ohio RINOs sabotaged Ken Blackwell. Pig Vomit can do two things: he can sabotage Mandel’s candidacy and then run as an “Independent” in 2020 to help the Democrats depose President Trump by taking RINO votes.
Which was wholly stages by that alleged report and exaggerated, in order to influence the election. This person didn't report the news; he invented it.
