I was looking for a primer on the subject, and found this... And so...

Get on the Trump Train or get out.
You can see it already, the Hill Republicans are secretly bucking Trump.
We need to focus on local elections. State legislatures, mayors, school boards, etc. Keep taking away their minor leaguers.
They can easily lose 11-12 seats.
Look for the senate to be ten percent more republican...
Looking forward to the chance to finally send Claire McCaskill back home to Missouri. Let’s hope the GOP finds someone electable this time.
With Democrat voters now being deported, the number of vulnerable Democrat Senators could be much more than 10!
Lotsa ‘Rats elected with Hussein now on their own w/o Hussein AND in a mid-term election. Much tougher row to hoe.
Only one of the 10 is held by a Republican. I want a net gain of 8.

So. Much. Winning. Let’s enjoy it while we can and do ALL we can to thwart them as we Make America Great Again.
I’ve been around long enough to see how the pendulum swings. The mistake we’ve made in the past is NOT hobbling the ‘Rats when we’ve had (few) Golden Opportunities to do so.
This. Is. The. Best. One. EVER!
Let’s not squander it!

Dean Heller is a neverTrump, is not a shining star here in Nevada and a lot of us will work hard to see that he is not reelected.
By the way, he was the senator that came saundering in at the very tale end of the vote on Sessions. Sorry, arrogant sob.
A supermajority sounds good to me.
IMO, the worst thing that could happen to the republican majority in the congress/senate would be for the democrats to start acting civil and offering rational alternatives.
That is completely beyond their nature so again, IMO it’s looking great for us in 2018.
Michigan is already fully aware of their job in 2018.
How quickly Trump can address voter fraud could be key in 2018, though some GOP pickups are very likely anyway—and then absolutely critical in 2020 and 2022, when the shoe is on the other foot and more Republicans are defending seats.
If the Republicans don’t start ACTING like they are in Charge, and start DOING GOOD things QUICKLY, they will be flipped also!
November, 2018 is gonna be more Winning! Winning! Winning!
Obamacare led to a six seat loss for the Democrats in 2008. Let’s hope that Trumpcare doesn’t do the same for the Republicans.
