Candace Owens and veteran Republican strategist Ed Rollins discuss conservative claims of social media censorship and the 2018 midterms on Sunday Morning Futures with host Maria Bartiromo.
"There's no blue wave out there," Rollins predicted. "The Senate, which we had big opportunities, have not turned out to be quite so. There's probably five to eight Senate seats on both sides that are in play. I think we will hold the Senate, and I think we will hold the House. Margins may be smaller in the House, but it's certainly going to hold it."
Rollins said no president has dominated the media, cable news, and social media like President Trump. He said media companies see his influence as a "threat."
"No president, no candidate has ever dominated the media, both the cable news, the social media, what have you," Rollins said Sunday morning. "He understands it well. His people understand it well. And I think to a certain extent, they see it as a threat."

Media companies consider the President a threat and, also, Big Tech companies.
It is the multinational corps that own the media who see the threat to their globalist agenda from President Trump.
Only DJT has the balls to do it and congress best get on board.
Root out the Deep State at its head. Our nation is infested with communists and leftists -
I think Rollins is right, the left is completely out of their minds. This isn’t like the past, the past two years has been a whole new level of insanity to the point where even leftists have had enough and are leaving the Democrap party. And then this crap with the Mueller investigation, how stupid does this guy think people are with his twisting and squeezing the crap out of people like Cohen so he talks like a puppet and says pre-arranged words like the Charlie use to do to POWS, it’s ridiculous “I Michael Cohen was forced by Donald Trump to commit a crime of paying two women to shut up” WTF is that? All that’s missing is Cohen blinking morse code.
I think a lot of Hollywood is owned by the Chinese
I wonder if Rollins still feels that way after yesterday’s news...
That’s all well and good to predict the outcome as long as conservative voters get out the vote. It could be razor-thin majorities if the libs stuff the ballot box and turn a blind eye to illegals voting, felons voting, and libs voting multiple times.
We’ll know for sure come November 7th.
I am seeing these ‘NO BLUE WAVE’ opinion pieces almost daily now.
Coming from Ed Rollins, a #NeverTrumper in the 2016 campaign makes it all the more suspect.
Blue wave or not, it doesn’t help. The democrat base can be motivated to turn out if they think they are lagging, and the republican base can be made to think it’s in the bag.
Overconfidence is not acceptable.
I am not falling for it because blue wave or no blue wave, Trump supporters better get themselves to the polls and take at least ten others with them.

Voter apathy is different for liberals and conservatives.
Like the pioneers of old, conservatives tend to mind their own business and stay away from the voting booth unless they are really riled up. The old ‘frog in the pot of water coming to a slow boil’ applies to them and decades can go by before something, like a Hillary, gets them out the door on election night. Otherwise, they stay home and try to weather it out, like a farmer suffering a drought year.
They came out for Trump and Mueller may have just handed them an excuse to come out in force this year, and in 2020, as the dems promise to undo all the gains achieved in the early Trump presidency if they can control congress again.
We should leave wave dynamics to the physicists. Just vote like you normally would and we will be fine.
There are psychology and wrongdoing involved, unfortunately.
If it were mere physics, it would be of no concern.
Rollins is a goofball on the senate. We will net 3-5, and if the stones roll right, get 5-7 seats.
Already I think we have FL, IN, MO, and ND.
MT, AZ, and NV are tossups (but it’s silly to analyze AZ til there is a candidate, because grumpy Rs on both sides will pull the “won’t vote for anyone but Ward/McSally” until the candidate is selected and the choice is Ward/McSally or Enema.
My guess is we win 2 of those 3.
NJ right now is strongly leaning R, but it’s NJ. Still I think this is a pickup.
Latest polling in MN and PA shows close races (4 and 2). These are longer shots.
Longest shots of all are Vukmir in WI and James in MI. One’s a RINO who turns off Trump supporters, the other has virtually no name recognition and is 20 points down. Kid Rock could have just walked into this seat.
Even better news is that we are replacing neverTrumpers/Ds (Flake, Corker, Heitkamp, Nelson, Donnelly, McCaskill) with Trumpers (even McSally is more of a Trumper than Flakey) for a net TRUMP change right now of six.
Tom Cruise’s Skydander is heavily owned by Jack Ma via the Ellison kid.
I hope Ed is right, it was a great November almost 2 years ago and this November would be as sweet if we can continue to win and save America.
The only reason media see Trump as a threat is that they politically oppose him and actually hate him.
Do not count Indiana as a sure thing yet. Donnelly has been given leave to vote with the Republicans when his vote did not matter in the outcome. It may all be optics but the optics are good. Braun can beat him but it is not yet in the bag.
