Fine for the GOP. What about us lovers of the Constitution?
The RINO’s completely missed the 2012 elections. They slept through it I guess.
Hopefully they will be retired to a good rest next election.
Ping
The GOP better come out swinging on jobs and means to strengthen the middle class. They should also not dig another grave with the rape nonsense.
The left controls 99.99% of the media.
No alternative will do well against that machine.
The US is a failed experiment.
The next experiment shall be better.
Good article. It suggests Republicans can retain and increase their majority in the House, plus pick up seats in the Senate, perhaps a majority.
It can only be done by replacing RINOs and Dems with TEA Party conservatives, IMO. Otherwise, Republicans will be fighting to hold on to what they have now.
Gripe or fight! The choice is yours, Republicans. Join your local Republican Party Executive Committee. Preach the Constitution and Conservative values. If they don’t like you, show up the next month with like minded FRiends Don’t give up. It may take a while but you can remove the RINOs at this local level of the Party. Once you get it going in the Right direction, you start on the local elected officials and work your way up. It was not lost overnight and will not be won back without a lot of time and work. Gripe or fight, it’s your choice!
Any worries about us losing the House are just rat pipe dreams.
We control the governorships, and that gives us an unassailable advantage. You want to win the House, you have to start picking off governorships and state legislatures so you can redistrict to your advantage.
There are vulnerable Republican seats, of course. Gibson in New York. Ribble in Wisconsin.
But there are also vulnerable Democrats. Duckworth in Illinois, Murphy in Florida.
My House prediction? I think its either going to be Dem +2 or Rep +2. Not much movement at all. That’s just how well districted each party has made their states. Pelosi will not be getting the gavel. No precedent, the president is unpopular, and its the second midterm.
What there will be is a high turnover of incumbents. I can see up to 10 RINO GOP lawmakers losing primary battles to good guys, and there have been a few retirements in deep red states as well.
It’s all about the senate in 2014. That’s where the battle is, and we’re well positioned to win. I predict we just about flip the upper chamber.
The US hasn't failed completely, at least not yet. FR would go dark if that happened. The First Amendment would be null and void.
If it does happen, there's little reason to believe there will be a "next experiment", not in our lifetimes or any forseeable future.
So we can't just act like all is lost, not as long as we see a flicker in the light of liberty.
House = +6 (maybe 2 more that are too close to call)
Senate = +2
.. I’ll be here election night.. :)
I really hope we can do better than 2 senate seats in a second midterm.
Any worries about us losing the House are just rat pipe dreams.
Don’t be so confident. The GOP isn’t being an engaged opposition party. They are running the same loser tip toe strategy from 2012. The GOP just hasn’t given voters a reason to vote FOR them.
I expect the Dems will keep the Senate and pick up a few seats in the House. The Dems are already campaigning for 2012. The GOP is not. That’s not a winning action plan for the GOP.
My question ‘zackly.
It’s still early, and also factor in the failure that is Obamacare. How will an Obamacare meltdown (which I’m predicting based on this catastrophic rollout) affect the election?
This could easily be enough to throw Hagan, Pryor, and Landrieu out.
We’ve also had 3 fall into our laps in Montana, South Dakota, and West Virginia. We only need 6, and there are other races beyond those like Iowa and Michigan. In the last poll for Michigan, our candidate is running 1 point behind! For Michigan, that’s pretty good, and our candidate has high name ID. Perhaps the Detroit exodus has drained the rat base some.
It’s going to suck for the GOPe, though.
What exactly does a majority GOP in the Senate get us? Do you believe the Senate GOP would suddenly become an engaged opposition party? Doubtful. They are rotten to the core and will continue to undermine conservatives. Unfortunately, I see more of the same. The kenyan feels free to continue destroying the constition and the GOP isn’t interested in engaging him.
Well, let that motivate you to remove Mitch, Linda, Thad, and Lamar. 4 leadership creeps who are in for the fight of their lives.
Thank you.
All of the rats running for re-election in 2014 voted for Obamacare. Most of them voted for gun grabbing last April. While Pryor of Arkansas didn't vote for more gun grabbing in April, this WaPo story shows that he'll vote against the Second Amendment if it's needed.
