Biden: ‘Everything’ at stake for Democrats in midterms
The Hill ^ | 09/03/18 | Justin Wise

Posted on 09/03/2018 7:59:13 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Monday said that "everything" is at stake for Democrats in the upcoming midterms.

“Everything. It’s simple: everything," Biden said in response to a question from a Politico reporter on the importance of November's general election.

Biden made the comments as he prepared to march in the Labor Day parade in Pittsburgh.

His statement comes just a couple months before a midterm election that Democrats view as a chance to retake control of the House and maybe the Senate.

Democrats hold a 6-point edge over Republicans on a generic congressional ballot, according to a poll released by The Economist/YouGov poll last week.

Democrats need to pick up 23 seats to reclaim the majority in the lower chamber. Their path in the upper chamber is a little more difficult as they need to gain two seats while defending 10 seats in states that President Trump won in 2016.

It was reported last week that Biden, who is an outspoken critic of Trump, plans to hold a series of campaign stops as the midterms near.

Among them, he is reportedly planning to campaign alongside Elissa Slotkin (D), a former Obama administration official who is running for a House seat in Michigan.

Democrats are seen as heavy favorites to take back control of the House. But despite those prospects, Trump has repeatedly pushed the idea that there will be a "red wave" in November.

"We are winning on just about every front and for that reason there will not be a Blue Wave, but there might be a Red Wave!" Trump tweeted last month.

Biden, 75, is considered a possible Democratic front-runner for the 2020 presidential election.

In a poll released last month, the former vice president led Trump by 7 points on a hypothetical 2020 ballot.

The midterms will come down to 'The Resistance' vs. 'Trump'.

The Democratic Media Complex is working overtime to present their 'narrative' that the 'Resistance' is the 'new majority' of a new 'progressive' America.

This is our ideology vs their ideology. Our vision of Americans as independent and self-reliant vs. their vision of Americans dependent on the government for all their wants and needs.

Take no election, even for dog catcher, for granted.

Vote. Make sure the people you know who think like you vote.

Don't expect a Red Wave. MAKE the Red Wave happen.

Translation: "Everything is at stake for real Americans in the upcoming midterms. Everything. It’s simple: everything."

We need to vote. We need to get our normal friends to the polls to vote. We need to help with party get-out-the-vote efforts to bring registered republicans who are strangers to the polls, yes, even the GOP establishment has a role. We need to get trained, now, and volunteer as poll watchers, especially in far-left districts. We need to work like our freedom and our lives depend on the outcome - because they do. We need to work like our children's future depends on the outcome, because it does.

Gropin Joe weighs in.

Did Gropin Joe get a chance to give Ariana Grande a mammogram onstage at the McCain planting?

Everything is at stake for president Trump as well. If he loses the House and suffers setbacks in the Senate, the wind will be out of the MAGA sails. His winner's momentum will hit a brick wall. It will be very difficult to recover.

Don't be surprised at this point to see him morph into Arnold Schwarzenegger and discover that fighting against an obstructionist congress just isn't worth the hassle.

On the flip side, if President Trump keeps the House and Senate, he will be unstoppable.

This will be the most important midterm election ever.

You should listen to what he has to say because he's exactly right on this. The Democrats are going to work their asses off to mobilize every last voter they can find.

Meanwhile, we have FReepers on his very board claiming that Arizonans shouldn't vote for McSally because she's not as pro-Trump as Ward or Arpaio could've been and that Texans need to let Beto win to teach Ted Cruz a lesson over his misbehavior during the 2016 primaries.

“Everything”

Translation: Whether the deep state globalist criminals can continue to F over the country and the citizens for profit.

Democrats are seen as heavy favorites to take back control of the House, just like Hillary was a heavy favorite to win the White House.

This biased propaganda hit piece will hopefully contribute to firing up the Republicans to vote to maintain control of the House.

We’d all better care what he says about this.

Get out and vote. You sound complacent.

Biden: ‘Everything’ at stake for Democrats in midterms

Not quite everything, you major league BOOB. For instance, your pension.
Biden has been a national laughing stock for many years. Even his few friends don’t take him seriously.

The FBI needs to seed voter roles with fake names - and find out if democrat criminal ‘voted’ the fake names along with the dead. Voter fraud’s not funny anymore... this election is the most important one of our lives.

If we lose democrats will flood the country will 3rd world illegals - then make them citizens and we’ll NEVER have a say in our country again.

Indeed. Vote at the ballot box or you will need to vote with the ammunition box. One modification, the Left will be coming to eliminate any remaining opposition so we won’t have a choice.
