Food for thought. Robert’s points should make us look past the often empty enthusiasm and actually do something.

While lurking on another site, it was mentioned that 43 Republican incumbents are not running for re-election.

Whether that means that they are not up for re-election, or have decided to retire is unknown to me.

Anyone have the numbers?

Yep - one of our biggest failings is that we talk a lot and then skimp on the financial donations and actual activities designed to further our cause....the other side never rests.

Yeah, but think of the upside!

So many Freepers will delight in a blue wave because it will be such a satisfying slap in the face to Ryan and McConnell.

(no /sarc, unfortunately)

The list:

1) Trump Will Be Impeached but Probably Not Removed from Office

2) Conversion Therapy Will Be Banned Nationally, and a Sexual Police State Will Be Born

3) Congress Will Pass Open Borders Laws that Trump Will Veto

4) Conservatives Will Complain and Roll Over and Do Nothing (other than whine, moan, and point fingers while smugly smirking that they taught those Rinos a real lesson),


Not on list:
Pense follows DJT on the Impeachment trail
DJT Tax reform undone
Oil drilling made illegal
Coal burning outlawed
Natural gas prices skyrocket
Oil companies Nationalized
Brown outs and black outs become standard fare
Older people begin dying off
New tax hike bill retroactive to Jan 2017
Obamacare reinstated and made single payer
No funds for a wall
ICE disbanded
After having All his accomplishments rolled back by the House and Senate and nearly Removed from Office (survives by one vote changed at the last minute), DJT does not run in 2020.
Democrats complete their sweep in 2020; begin conversion nationwide to a Socialist form of Government modeled on the old Soviet Union.
Conservatives Complain, Whine, Make Macho Grandstanding Threats, Roll Over, Do Nothing ...

They will kill the economy just like they did after the ‘06 elections and for the same reasons, to give the dim-0 candidate in 2020 something to run against.

THIS is what we had in ‘06 when Republicans held both houses of congress and the WH, and dem0s were running for control of congress promising “CHANGE.” How’re yall liking the “CHANGE?”

2006 unemployment #s

When Republicans had both houses and the WH.........................http://www.icmarc.org/xp/rc/marketview/ ... oduct.html

The 1st quarter of ‘06 saw 4.8% growth in GDP. Then came demos running for control of congress promising “CHANGE.” They won, and after 2 years in power, things HAVE “CHANGED” GDP growth dropped to negative 6%. Happy with your “CHANGE?”

The nation was 40% wealthier

The nation still had a AAA credit rating

A Pelosi house won’t be much different than a Ryan house. We won’t be hearing threats about holding people in contempt for not providing documents or cooperating with oversite. But I don’t care about threats. Have Rosenstein arrested and I’ll be impressed. Complain about him to Tucker Carlson and I don’t see much difference in an R or D.

Senate and Trump can stop anything Pelosi wants to do. But so what? Other than tax cuts, Ryan’s house has been useless. I don’t expect a budget this year but maybe Ryan can do one good thing before he leaves.

We MAY get good things if Ryan is gone and Rs keep the house. But I expect D-lite, not a conservative house.

I hope Rs keep the house. But not excited about that or scared about Pelosi.

When people say this is the most important election of our lifetime, it’s not hype, it’s the truth.

Let’s add to the list: lunatic libs bring charges for impeachment against Trump that are baseless, without merit. Said libs surprisingly start taking dirt naps. MSNBC blames ut on racism.

The Democrats will learn what happens when you awaken a silent majority that elected Trump.

They, like Admiral Yamamoto will fear all they have done is to have awoken a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve.

I agree that a Democrat takeover will mean an immediate Trump impeachment. However, Trump like Clinton will not be removed from office. The impeachment will consume Congress for most of 2019 and nothing else will get done. The American people will be sickened by the squealing of glee by the liberal media, the 24/7 coverage of the impeachment and Congress doing nothing to address real issues. 2020 will come with a very soured electorate and a Democrat party that offers nothing, but higher taxes and open borders.

We need Trump to frame November to be a referendum on him. He needs to drive turnout of the deplorables.
