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.
How does that help Democrats over here?

The surprise: Beckel is going to move to Russia.
huuuuh Good Gawd What is it a good for?
Trying to think it thru like they would, to the extent that they actually think: it would corral the news cycles for a whole week solid, and there would be story after story of bravado on 0’s part. Up to that time, 0’s regime is toxic to ‘Rats. After this event, in their little minds, all ‘Rats would clamor to get 0’ to campaign with them.
So Beckel says on national TV that he knows something about a potential shake-up of national security? Wouldn't a comment like that get one an immediate visit from the FBI?
What does Beckel know? Where did he hear it? Who is involved? What is being planned?
But no... he teases a threat to national security, but we allow it to pass because it's "politics."

The Divine One and his administration are working overtime to insure it becomes endemic in the United States. The poor soldiers sent to Africa will become a focal point for the infection entering our country.
“I would expect an October surprise,” Beckel said...
King Buckwheat will suspend all golf scores better than his.
How does that affect OUR national security?
I know what it is too Bob but I'm not saying anything either.........
I'll drop a hint, it has to do with the........
Obama saved little girls from Muslim extremists, now Obama will save your little girls from Republican extremists?

“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.”
Gee, thanks! We appreciate the head’s up, Bob Brickle!
Yes, I have heard some nonsense like this every election since Reagan.
Martial law, starting a war, real popular.
Maybe an OKC type bombing and blame on TP.
The Dems don’t NEED an ‘October Surprise’.
The Republicans are well on their way to screwing this thing up all on their own. If I were in charge of the Dems, I’d just sit back and laugh as they fail to capture the Senate, because they suck so bad.
What the Republicans are doing is equivalent to sending out a guy with no arms to pick the low hanging fruit. LOL
0-Tard shouldn’t even be in office right now, but when you have a party that’s STUCK ON STUPID to oppose him, this is the expected result. I almost wonder how much the DNC is paying Boner and McConnell.... (my teen girls could run that place better than they have...)
He’s pregnant?
Could be they intend to tell the truth.
huuuuh Good Gawd What is it a good for?
Absolutely Nothin’!!
