.Republican Fears About Holding The Senate Start To Sink In
NPR ^ | May 7, 2018

Posted on 05/07/2018 7:05:35 AM PDT by SMGFan

.Democrats are going into the 2018 elections with the wind at their backs, which could even be enough to flip a Senate map heavily stacked for Republicans come November.

In conversations with several top GOP strategists, nearly all conceded that the overwhelming Democratic enthusiasm they're facing this November is incredibly worrisome. Most still think it's a better than even chance that they do keep the Senate — albeit narrowly — but it's no longer out of the realm of possibility that the upper chamber could change hands, especially given the volatility of the GOP's two-seat majority.

There are 35 seats up in 2018, of which 26 are held by Democrats.

And of those 26 maybe half a dozen are really at risk of flipping to the Republicans. The GOP seems to be shooting themselves in the foot with Blankenship in West Virginia, Hawley being in the middle of the Greitens fiasco in Missouri, and the incredibly divisive primary in Indiana. A couple of more bad candidate, a major gaff during the election or two, and the GOP is scrambling to keep their majority.

Leftist wet dream.

Are they angry and motivated? Sure. What they’re not taking in account, however, is that OUR side is just as angry and motivated at watching our President have to put up with these seditious, disgusting attacks for the past year and a half. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the RATS don’t win back the House or Senate.

No they don't. Defund NPR, the Nothing-but Partisan Radio. The DNC is broke, and the only Pubbies who hope this "news" is true are those who are retiring in hopes of handing off to a Demwit.

“And my understanding is the the GOP is flush with cash, while the D’s are practically broke.”

Yeah, then they run some bonehead candidate that they know nobody wants to vote for. They think we’re not on to it, but the jig is up.

Once the indictments come and there’s full exposure of what the RATs, MSM, and Deep State including RINOs purposefully did to President Trump, their “Blue Wave” fantasy will become a nightmare.

President Trump hasn’t begun to campaign against the RATs and RINOs. Game on!

It is also up to us to get everyone we know out to vote! The Deplorables have got to support President Trump 24/7! There’s too much at stake to not get involved in the upcoming midterm election.

IMO, DemocRATs, RINOs, MSM, and Deep State are traitors. Because these people are acting against the very nation and society that has helped to put him or her into existence, for better or worse.

Keep this in mind when you hear these self-serving, power-hungry, lying politicians and the media cabal:

“As a national and belonger of one’s own nation and society, that person enjoys the belonging and fruits of belonging to that nation and society — and the nation to you. To work against the very thing that made you be, that is a very obvious kind of betrayal, ergo, treason.”

There should indeed be a fear. Both AZ Senate seats are in play, as are MS and TN. Meanwhile, the ongoing matter with the MO governor jeapordizes the possibility of taking down Claire McCaskill there and Joe Donnelly looks more secure in IN as the GOPers in the primary shred each other.

what’s in it for the middle-class guy?


You hit on something quite important.

People go around all day silently listening to one radio station——
WII-FM which stands for What’s In It For Me?

If the socialist giveaways of taxpayer money each election by Dems has to compete with actual jobs,more income after taxes, and a stronger economy then these may dull the allure of the Bernie Santa Claus schtick.

Obviously you would want to look at them individually, but just generically, the math isn’t adding up.

If all incumbants are back up for re-election and incumbants win their seats back 80% of the time, then you’ve got 7 seats that are likely to swing, and if nearly 75% of those seats are democrat, then this blue wave needs to be a super tsunami.

That is coming sooner rather than later too.

defeatism from fake news media....


We have to remember your excellent point every day or we’ll be sunk.

“Polls show Hillary strategy is now not for just the win,which is certain, but for a mandate for her policies by a larger margin.”-—several “news” sources on election eve week.

Wait, you mean this NPR....

“National polls have expanded, showing Clinton with a lead on the low end of 4 points to a high of 12. And while Trump remains within striking distance in enough battlegrounds, again, he has to run the table in them to win. He has to win all of them, while Clinton has to just hold where she is ahead. Her lead has only grown in states favorable to her this month, and the needle has moved toward her in toss-ups, like Florida, North Carolina and Nevada.”

Sorry, there certainly won’t be any indictments before the midterms. Rosenstein, with an assist from Sleepy Sessions, is running out the clock in an attempt to preserve the “Russian collusion” narrative for the midterms.

I see a net 3 or four pickup. Florida, Nevada, Indiana, Montana. Ohio perhaps. Candidates must run as close to Trump as they can.
