Republican strategists have turned decidedly pessimistic about their prospects for the 2018 midterm elections. Prominent Republicans are now saying privately that Democrats are virtually certain to win control of the House of Representatives.
As one senior Republican on Capitol Hill told ABC News, If the election were held today, the House would be gone. Fortunately, the election is not today.
Another prominent Republican strategist working on the midterm elections went further, telling ABC News point-blank that Republicans will lose the House and that this prospect unlikely to change.
The only question is whether Democrats win narrowly by picking up 25 seats or whether it is a blowout of more than 35 seats, the strategist told me.
Allies of President Donald Trump are convinced the president will quickly face impeachment hearings if Democrats take control of the House.
One Republican close to Trump predicted that not only will there be impeachment hearings but that the prospects for the president would be grim.

Which means Speaker Nanci Pelosi?
The Swamp that thought Hillary would win
The same ANALysts that predicted a Hillary Landslide in 2016?
Those guys?
Headlines from the swamp. They’d rather the party fail so they can trash Trump.
Hey Jonathan, who said it? Karl Rove? Other NeverTrumpers? Just made up some stuff?
Like that winner picker Karl Rove ? Wait till the Trump Tax cuts kick in and see how that goes.
Yeah, people really do miss the succesd of Obamanomics...
“Predictions” from no-names, happily posted by ABC.
Sounds about right.
Are these the same strategists that said Trump will never win? This is January, the election is in November. At this point the economy is doing very well and the stock market is doing well.
Even when it is clear that the Democrats will lose the House or the Senate, the Democrat strategists never go on TV and say it is going to happen.
Was planning to get rid of all my prepping gear. Hold on now.
Blah, blah, blah, the old guard(rino’s and dems) are running scared.
Another article out there predicting all ten open Republican senate seats flipping to the democrats
ITS PURE BS, don’t focus on this crap, lets win this. Let THEM think they are winning so they end up getting lazy and make dumb mistakes like Hillary did
*past lack of performance is not a guarantee of future success. Your results may vary. Untraceable payments accepted to my anonymous account in the Cayman Islands.
All is lost! Woe is me!
Those guys?
Typically, the party that is the hungriest and fights the hardest to win is rewarded with victory. This was not McCain in 2008, not Romney in 2012, not Hillary in 2016, and most certainly not today's Congressional GOP.
Do not be at all shocked when you wake up the morning after election day to see the Republicans have squandered everything.
I know I won't be.
Dems will be lucky to be a political party by November with all the corruption that is coming out...
