Democrats trying to tie Trump to GOP senators seeking re-election, in bid to control the Senate
Fox News ^ | May 7, 2016 | Fox News

Washington Democrats wasted no time this week trying to tie congressional Republicans facing re-election to Donald Trump, now that he’s the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.

Their major focus appears to be the Senate, considering they have to win a net total of four seats to retake control of the chamber, though the more outside chance of also flipping the House now seems more attainable.

Democrats will have plenty of soundbites and video clips of Trump talking about Muslims, women and other politically-sensitive issues in ways that party members will find offensive.

Thanks, Democrats -- the Republicans couldn't have better ads for themselves. Trump will win in a landslide and Republicans should embrace him and his positions and they will win too.

Trump's message resonates with everyone. It's time to "make America Great Again".

The energy against the establishment is great. The RINOs in the Senate will have a rough time.

Trump needs to start tying Hillary to the likes of Jeb, Miss Lindsey, Kristol, Krauthammer, the other Bushes, and other neo-con artists. Plus, start calling her Crooked Establishment Hillary.

The people America is fed up with keep endorsing Trump by attacking him, and are too dim to realize it.

Yes, if the GOP wants to save the Senate they had better get aboard the Trump train.

Democratic operatives are making the same mistake that Republican operatives did in underestimating Trump’s appeal. White working class people, many of whom are Democrats, are fed up! They see their party kowtowing to folks like Black Lives Matter, La Raza, and groups sympathetic to Muslims, yet they’re constantly demeaned and ignored by not just Democrats but Republicans too. He’s the first presidential candidate since Reagan who appeals to them directly and the feeling is mutual. Obviously, the Dems can always rely on massive vote fraud to win elections, but they will have their hands full dealing with Trump.

The smart ones will jump on board the Trump train.

The ones who don’t are siding with the illegal aliens, their employers and the Democrats anyway, so who cares if they get defeated?

This is an opportunity for Ted Cruz to help down-ticket Republicans weaken by the Trump candidacy.

I remember election night 1980 as if it were yesterday. Back then the GOP was blue, and there was a MASSIVE blue wave across the USA. GOP took the Senate for the first time in my adult memory. This with Reagan who, like Trump, was ridiculed within his own party. The people just knew better.

Actually I don’t think so. Dems favor GOP RINOs to some extent and our Lefty Senators will do OK if Trump really is able to bring out the record numbers of Pubbies and friendly Indies that he has to if he expects to win.

I’m coming to believe it will be a record Pubbies Turnout. If so, we will hold the Senate by at least a seat or two.

But maybe that should be considered “a rough time”.

Most people I talk to are completely fed up with everything all about being pc and appeasing every new victim group that pops up.

WAKE UP, AMERICA. IT IS TIME TO PRAY FOR LEADERS TO FOLLOW “GOD’S LEAD”. Anything less would be pure insanity. God holds the key to our success as a nation. What part of that don’t people understand?

Here's the message from jihadist-run Fox News:
Democrats will have plenty of soundbites and video clips of Trump talking about Muslims, women and other politically-sensitive issues in ways that party members will find offensive.
The fault lies in the self-described Republicans such as Linda Graham, Little Jebbie, Apaulling Ryan, as well as alleged Tea Partiers like the Arab Justin Amash, who refuse to support the POTUS nominee.

All they have to do to keep their seats is to support Trump and agree to fight for his policies. Trump will have huge coattails for those that do.

Advice to Republicans AND RINOS:

Go WITH Trump. Run away from him and you will be TOAST (and deservativly so).

Every senator who backs Trump will win. All the others will lose.
