Breitbart ^ | 10/17/2022 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Senate Republican candidates continue to gain momentum in swing state races despite Democrats heavily outspending them.

The 2022 campaign cycle promised to be a tough year for the Republican Party to retake the Senate due to the number of battleground seats demanding resources to defend. Only 14 Democrat-controlled seats are up for reelection, compared to 21 Republican-controlled seats.

its almost like the polling showing the truth, big red wave coming, has to be thwarted by some fake polling showing dems catching up to GOP but then... right before the election... the polls start “correcting” themselves.

Ive never seen this before

yawn

The only thing in the way is McConnell.

The public feels that a bunch of incompetent thumb-twiddling wusses is much better than a bunch of anti-America, hate-Whitey redistributionist marxists.

Looks like it will be at LEAST 52 seats in the Senate and if Oz wins Pa, 53. The house could be +25 seat pickup and the majority or maybe a +50 seat tsunami. I do think Biden’s next 2 years will be additional illegal Executive Orders, Ice Cream eating and record levels of Democrat hysteria. This is as per Dr. Steven Turely.

They are not gaining momentum so much as the crooked pollsters have to ramp back their push polls to reflect reality this close to an election.

We should try to keep piling on the total. The more we can get this time, the better our chances of reaching a RINO proof, filibuster proof Senate after the 24 elections. At which time the field is much more favorable for us. We need to have Oz hang on to PA for us, ditch Murky in AK, win GA, NV, GA, OH and NC, stretch a bit to pickup NH and don’t give up on potential long shots WA and CT. The left needs their noses rubbed in what they’ve done and losing the latter pair would do that. GOP has lost midterms that badly in my memory, but not the Rats. It’s their turn. Then with all that new blood vote in new Senate (and House) leadership. Because if we win big on paper we’ll need a real record to defend in ‘24 and Biden light won’t cut it. We probably won’t beat Biden all the time, but we need to make the differences clear going into the next cycle so the voters can place any blame correctly.

Got two notifications that my ballet was sent. One even had a
suggestion that I use there drop box. The other was from Denver.gov.
I will send it by snail mail. No drop box.

"We" could or would if "we" included the RINOs. Sadly, McConnel, Romney, etc. are not with "us" but with "themselves," which includes "them", the Ds.

To get a filibuster proof R Senate means ridding the party of the Bush/McConnel faction. Won't happen, sadly.

Depending on your issue, or your definition the Rhino population of the Senate varies but is not small. The worst are aggressively more D than R, Murky and Mitt. We may remove former this time, potentially latter next time. The Lee/McMuffin battle this year may presage the anti-Mitt battle. The rest aren’t consistently so bad, but when the votes are close the random couple that jump are enough to keep us mad at the group. Still, we’d start winning filibuster votes before we got to 60 non-Rhinos. Age is catching up with many of the weaker Rhinos. But we may benefit from letting some more into that club. A weak Rhino would be a big improvement over Murray or Blumenthal and could arrive as long shots this year. The closer we can get this cycle the better our odds with the next.
