I think we’re in for a tsunami-type election in 2014,” Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus told the audience at Tuesday morning’s Christian Science Monitor breakfast in Washington, D.C. Looking ahead to this fall’s midterm elections, Priebus boldly predicted big gains for the GOP, especially in the Senate.
”My belief is, it’s going to be a very big win, especially at the U.S. Senate level, and we may add some seats in congressional races,” Priebus predicted. “But I need to and we need to at the RNC make sure that we can capture the positives and the benefits we’ve been able to provide in 2014 and build on that to have success in 2016, which is a very different type of election.”

I hardly view a likely net gain of four seats in the Senate and holding the House to be a “tsunami,” but I guess we’re expected to think of “tsunami” in a different way.
Since the GOP is going after conservatives, I am skeptical.
Let’s not pop the champagne corks yet, Rance.
Well, if the GOPe (including the Republican leadership in congress as well as the RNC & its committees) and the consultant class cease their war on the Tea Party, 2014 has the makings of a MASSIVE wave election. If they continue their war it may end up being MUCH SMALLER.
Time for a shift change in the Uniparty. It keeps the rubes buying tickets to the show.
I see you caught the little joke.
Aren’t they clever little buggers?
It is a Rovian tsunami, where minimalism equals excellence.
A tempest in a sake cup.
Even if we take senate by veto proof majority, nothing will happen. Cowardice is cowardice and the GOPe is the poster children for sniveling cowards.
He added off the record “No thanks to me.”
Didn’t read the article but this sounds like that Hotels.com commercial with Captain Obvious.
OK, tsunami. Then what?
but they won't, it's in their nature, they'll cave after the first time the NYT chides them..
he predicts it despite doing everything to prevent it.
Hahahaha! Sorry, but I remember the last time they had control of the Whitehouse, Senate, and HOR. They did NOTHING of lasting value for conservatives. Keep dreaming, cupcake.
Not if Bonehead and Ryno save the Democrats with amnesty.
Every time I hear his name I think of something the Dr finds during a colonoscopy. “I’m sorry Mr Jones, I’m afraid you have a rather large Priebus and we need to do a biopsy.”
Yep. After the disaster that followed the oh-so-sure GOP takeover of the Senate in 2012, I am very reticent to predict big victories by Republicans anymore. They have an amazing tendency to shoot their own feet off at the most inopportune time.
Absolutely... imagine.. just imagine.. if they attacked democrats with the same fervor they have when chopblocking conservatives. They could actually win some pivotal elections.
And what will change? Nothing.
