The polls may suggest Republicans will see gains in this November’s elections, but former Democratic strategist Bob Beckel thinks they shouldn’t get too comfortable. The Five co-host mysteriously signaled Democrats have something up their sleeve.
“I’ll tell you: I would expect an October surprise,” Beckel said on Thursday. “I think I know what is — I’m not going to say it, but I think I know what it is — and it is going to shake things up, and it has to do with national security.”
Beckel’s secrecy comes as President Obama faces perhaps the most significant foreign-policy challenge of his presidency, the growing threat of the Islamic State.
Dont be surprised to see a terrorist attack strike America during that time..the Dems will do ANYTHING to stop the election from taking place
Martial Law? ISIS takeover?
Barry is coming out of the closet.
Has there been an election in the last 25 years when people didn’t insist there was going to be an October Surprise? That’s right up there with predicting recessions and weather disaster these days, just always say it’s going to happen and you’re bound to be right eventually.
They’ll probably tie amnesty to a national security bill, force the GOP to defeat it, and then allow ISIS to attack us. Americans die. GOP gets blamed. Win-Win for the Dems.
Feinstein’s “torture memo?”
Obama and the Dems are 2 or 3 October Surprises behind
I wouldn't put anything past him.
Yes, and given that Barack Hussein Obama is president, it will undoubtedly involve death and destruction. His favorite things.
Is he going to “kill Osama” again?
The October Surprise that helps the Democrat-Socialists is just as likely to come from the GOPEs.
Bob Beckel, Drunkard, Drug addict, Democrat, but I repeat myself!
Nothing he says is based in reality.
The Dems will create an Ebola crisis and suspend elections.
Obama’s going to declare war on the Russian province of Alaska.
One possibility for a pre-planned for-politics-only October-surprise is to have the 3000 military headed to Africa stage a surprise, in October of course, rescue of the Nigerian girl hostages.
I fear that Sen. Mike Lee will be indicted.
War.
