GOP Senate gains in WV, MT, SD and possibly IA. I don’t look for th to defeat any democrat incumbents.

Never discount the powerful pull of free stuff. Half the people in this country would give up large chunks of American territory to ISIS as song as they get to keep getting “free stuff.”

Maybe the GOP ought to care about its base.

Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Colorado have “legacy” candidates. Famous well respected Fathers. For some reason this counts for something.

Add Georgia to this list as Michelle Nunn, daughter of Sam Nunn, is the Democrat Candidate.

I wonder how many people are like me? I hang up instantly on all pollsters, I loathe the practice of using my telephone for their business. Are those like me evenly divided or do we split on the political spectrum? There is an obvious effect in that my single HONEST vote is never included until ELECTION DAY (Never missed any election since 1974) but if there are a lot like me on the conservative side then what?

Is the GOP running a campaign this season? I haven’t heard a peep from them. You’re saying they are still around and relevant? Hmpf... could have fooled me.

If they are going to do something, “reserved”, “timid” and “politely respectful” are things I would encourage them to avoid like the plague. If they are going to do it, then either go BIG&BOLD or don’t bother at all.

Has anybody heard what the GOP is running on?

Not I. I'd really like to hear a set plan for what's going to happen. I vote for things, not just against.

The name of Nunn has powerful pull in GA too. Everyone remembers he brought money to the state, and that's what counts. It's why Zell is revered.

Then there's the name of Carter going up against Gov. Deal. Those two GA races are going to be closer than people think.

My buddy in ga says Nunn could pull this off. I could see it. Name recognition with Nunn versus Perdue...who's cousin was not well-loved as Govnuh. Bad name rec there. I think it'll end up being a toss-up in that race. GA ain't as conservative as a lot of people thing it is.

“silent majority”

Which is evidenced how? We are in very unusual times.
There is very little evidence that anyone can count on any trends to the norm.

No one is the least bit concerned about this DOJ doing anything to prevent of punish voter fraud, let alone criminal acts which are now openly committed against the republic.

The LMSM actually is acting as a wing of the WH. Anyone who watched any of the IRS hearings and heard Lerner LIE can not dispute that the fix is already in tight.

This is more like observing a country controlled by organized crime.

The fix is most certainly in. The left now considers “bending” the rules as a normal part of politics and sadly the voters can not be counted on to do their job when faced with blatant crime in the government.

2ndDivisionVet, normally one might hold a view as hopeful as you, but as noted these are far from normal times. The situation causes me serious consternation about the out come of this election cycle.

The makers do not support a view like yours this year.
JMHO.
