DemocRats have to defend 26 Senate seats while Republicans only have to defend 8. Several of those DemocRat held seats are in states carried by Trump.
“Increasing our seats in the House and Senate is a win for President Trump.”
A +1 gain in the House will be enough to drive liberals crazier.
I want to see a massacre in the Senate. The Republicans have an opportunity to clean the Dem’s clocks in 2018. If the elites get out of the way, this can happen.
Lou Dobbs taking action too. Says R gains in both.
Of course they will ...unless McConnell & Ryan and the entire GOP open-borders/globalist establishment go to war with the ascendant populous patriotic wing of the party..
We at FR knew what Obama and team were up to. The law meant nothing to the Democrats because the end justified the means in their minds.
So "Beware fans...manure is on the way!"
Trump hasn't even gotten started exposing their BullShiite.
And don't give me this crap that Jeff Sessions is asleep. The wheels of justice turn slowly because the law is more than just sentences in the books.
There is also (and perhaps more importantly) the perception of fairness and justice.
Sessions is moving slowly because he is laying the groundwork for a takedown of a big chunk of the FBI and DOJ.
In some cases it has to be different Republicans.
Corker and Flake have already quit.
Hatch and Heller must be removed for their amnesty votes or they will do it again.
Anyone who votes for amnesty should get primaried.
Yes, we need gains in both the House and the Senate!
60 Senate seats can be done!
That is an easy prediction for Rush...
we should easily get an R +5 in the Senate.
“Well, I can’t believe it! Look at this turnaround. All of a sudden, every Republican you talk to wants to defend Donald Trump and wants to go out and attack the deep state to one extent or another.”
I think that it has finally sunk in to the Republicans that they are in the Majority.
Recall, Bob Dole didn’t really get it, when they took the Senate in ‘94, he continued to act as a Minority Leader, and idiot Trent Lott gave up the leadership to Daschele when he didn’t have to.
I think McConnell, like him or not, gets it now.
And I'm going to work like a deranged mf to make sure we increase our share of both houses. It's the only way to ensure MAGA ... which to my mind is a 7-2 SCOTUS ...
On the night before the election, all Trump has to do is ask his supporters to turn out, as a personal favor to him.
Boom. 95% turnout. Game over.
Is a gallery of hush money legislators going to be released before the 2018 elections? Could be a real game changer.
Listened to Rush today, sounds a lot different than he used to.
Might be looking at retiring soon?
As far as his predictions, or anybody else’s, the bottom line is that the Mnuchin/Cohn tax increase on middle class taxpayers is going to cost GOP seats.
We will find out if the GOP still holds the majority in 11 months.
Impeachment is a specious topic, Florida is gone, Trump only won the State by 105,000 votes and between a couple of hundred thousand Puerto Ricans that have rolled in here in the last few months and pissed off whites that have to pay more taxes, he has no path to reelection.
So 2020 will bring a communist into the WH and they will allow the chump change tax cuts that some middle class taxpayers are getting now to expire as the law that he signed today dictates.
Bottom line is to go into an all cash business or pass through.
Don’t let your kids grow up to be W-2 suckers.
Any discussion of collusion needs to start with a basic question: why is it assumed the Russians preferred Trump over Clinton ? I never hear or read that question being asked. The notion that Clinton would’ve been tougher on Russia is preposterous. Putin would only need to write a check to the Clinton foundation and Hillary would do as he said.
“Increasing our seats in the House and Senate....”
I’m always hearing about the Senate math - namely that the Dems are defending twenty three seats in Trump states - which bodes well for R. Is there a similar math for the House?
(I only scanned Rush’s transcript, if he addressed this)
Thanks for any summary you might have of the GOP outlook for the House.
