You can’t dismiss that as “speculation.” You know full well that every time you put a RINO in charge of government (be it state or federal), the party shrinks rapidly in size. Look at Eisenhower, who couldn’t be bothered to do the necessary party work and we went from having majorities in the House and Senate to only 1/3rd of Congress in 1958. 6 years. It took a quarter century to recover from the Senate losses. It took FORTY years to recover from the House losses.
You think this country will survive 40 more years of the anti-American party in charge of Congress ? That’s not speculation. That’s reality. McCain has always been more interested in playing footsie with the rodents (and was quite prepared in 2004 to become one). Ignore that at your own peril. I won’t.
Well, let me share something with you. In Jimmy Carter's midterm election, we picked up 30 seats. Riding Reagan's coattails we picked up 34 in 1980. But in 1982, we lost 26, then gained, then lost a few...
Jimmy Carter II is not worth picking up an amount of seats in the low double digits.
You're picking Jimmy Carter. I'm picking FDR.
