While Trump is proving when you fight you win, the cowards are leaving Dodge so as not to soil their tailored suits.

You can't win the war if your men aren't willing to fight.

No one expects anything from the GOP.

When has the GOP every done anything other than lose and fail?

This is concerning. So far, only Loebsack (IA-2) and a NY crook have said they aren’t running. Most of our retirements are in deep red areas, but so were a lot of those specials that we barely held in 2017.

I think the DemoKKKrats are gonna hold on one more cycle in hopes of getting Trump.

Also, the DemoKKKrats are outraising the GOP big-—although when you don’t have a named candidate yet that tends to be a big factor.

The GOP is loaded with cowardly quitters. They all need to jump the border in seek asylum in Mexico, Honduras or El Salvador. I hate quitters.

So much for patriotism. Looking forward to their cushy taxpayer-funded retirements, 42 Republican cowards bailed out in 2018, causing the House to go to the Democrat Socialists. If enough Republican Senators retire now, the Senate will go to the Dems as well, and Pres. Trump’s presidency will be finished even if he wins re-election.

It happened in 2018 and we lost the House. Cowards jumped ship. If it gets worse then Trump will be impeached. If the Senate is lost it’s over.

single day when it really counts.

The cost of living in DC and metro DC has skyrocketed in recent years.

Why? Because the size of government and the shadow government (contractors, grantees, lobbyists, etal) in the DC area has exploded.

The Republicans failed to stop it from happening—now they get to pay the price—literally.

Dat, My FRiend, is de plan. If the Republicans and Democrats can give the Democrats a veto proof majority in both Houses,the Democrats can begin implementing their agenda while President Trump finishes his last four years. If just a simple majority in both Houses, they can prevent President Trump from carrying out a lot of his plans for the Country,and us. See how the Republican Party and Democrat Party work together to line their pockets and harm the Country?

DJT has exposed the Rs for the cowardly frauds that they are. In the long run I view this as more Swamp draining, and wherever it take us will be better than the nonsense they have been selling for decades.

I am not worried about retirements, yes it creates an OPEN contest, which is always better, in the general case, for the party that didn’t hold the seat. Imcumbents win on average 85-90% of the time.
`
Even when a seat is OPEN, the party that held the seat before usually holds it after an open election.. With the party that held the seat winning the seat around 60% or more of the time.

The big swing in 18, was due to a lot of factors, but the biggest probably was the simple fact that the CAP on SALT and MTG deductions turned some high income districts in deep blue states. (Economics drive voting more than any other factor, period).

Of the D pickups 34 or something like that were in districts Trump won in 16.

I fully expect a net gain in 2020 for Republicans, they SHOULD, unless they are REALLY STUPID.. and I never under estimate the stupidity of the GOP, particularly the ESTABLISHMENT GOP... regain the house... Trump’s going to have some HUGE coattails.
