” The campaign wizards who have lost three of the last four elections are all based in Washington and New York. “
The money quote.....
No way the Democrats save themselves this fall. They’re screwed and they know it.
It surprises you that the GOPe could blow a sure thing??? really?
Notice how in this last week, all at once, the GOP losing.
Sp predictable. All to create division and misery on the right.
Our side loves to fall for it. If we lose, it will be blatant fraud by dems, coupled by malaise on our part.
We lose this time because of fraud, 2016 is already over.
Who is dismissing this claim? I see poor, pathetic campaigns being thrown away by establishment Republicans, who think they can sneak in a victory without running attack ads against Obama and the democraps.
Happens every election. About a month out the media push polls arrive telling us the public is sour on the Republicans. They were saying the same thing in 2010.
The Republican candidates are products of the Washington Establishment.
Candidates like Tom Tillis, Mitch McConnell, Lamar Alexander, Thad Cochran and Pat Roberts.
They defeated conservatives in Primaries using outrageous tactics. Now, many conservatives are planning to stay home in November.
And these morons are surprised.
The democrats and liberal media had to do something to keep their side in the game, all the negative stories about the coming GOP "wave" were threatening to depress the democrat base, so someone in the bowels of the Whitehouse had to call up the polling firms and make some targeted threats to produce a round of favorable polling (not joking - See the Justice Department investigation of Gallup before the 2012 election)...
Who is promising the most free stuff?
Being in a hot rush for war doesn’t help the GOP but I agree a lot of this talk about the GOP facing disaster is a media creation.
The GOP has plenty of internal problems right now but those can be set aside because we need this win more than we need the white house.
The progressive media is an example of the tail wagging the dog. They repeat what they want to be true over and over and enough that what they repeat becomes self-fulfilling. They learned that trick when Clinton was president.It usually works, but I’m not sure about this time. I’m thinking a vast majority feel they’ve been sold a bill of goods with our pool-shark president and that reflects on every Democrat.
You are right, they won't be saved by themselves, they will be saved by the r's watering down their message and leaving conservative Tea Party members with no one to vote for.
As for the old bullshit of "If you don't vote republican you are only voting democrat" that is bull shit. A republican wants my vote he or she better be a Republican, not a sickening democrat follower calling itself a republican.
I'm not, nor do I know any TP's that are voting for the lying scum susan collins, she is a baby killing, homosexual loving clinton embarrassing, freedom denying democrat, running again as a r.
The Democrats can’t save themselves, you’re right.
But the Republicans can snatch defeat from certain victory - they’ve done it before and they don’t seem opposed to doing it again.
I wouldn’t be so sanguine.
Pat Roberts is Kansas is a true Conservative.
Milton Wolf should not have run.
Name one thing a Republican has given the people to vote for? Commies always have a thing to vote for...Communism!
WAPO should be worried about its own future..... Prospects are bleak...
It wasn’t more than 10 days ago that Nate Silver was predicting doom for democrats. I can’t think of a damn thing that has happened to all at once make the dem schlubs in the Senate more appealing.
This is an obvious tactic by the dem party and the media to depress our side. But, it works, because we end up doing more damage to ourselves by believing them.
If we win, the good conservatives like Cruz, will gain stature and have more ability to influence RINOs. It also gives us more power to try and affect policy.
I don’t know, maybe it is all too late. But losing again will do nothing to create a conservative groundswell, it will just empower the Obama admin. even more.
