WASHINGTON — It was this week two years ago that Hillary Clinton’s victory looked assured, when the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape of Donald Trump bragging about sexual assault appeared all but certain to end his campaign.
Jesse Ferguson remembers it well. The deputy press secretary for Clinton’s campaign also remembers what happened a month later.
It’s why this veteran Democratic operative can’t shake the feeling that, as promising as the next election looks for his party, it might still all turn out wrong. “Election Day will either prove to me I have PTSD or show I’ve been living deja vu,” Ferguson said. “I just don’t know which yet.”
Ferguson is one of many Democrats who felt the sting of unexpected defeat in 2016 and are now closely — and nervously — watching the current election near its end, wondering if history will repeat itself. This year, instead of trying to win the presidency, Democrats are trying to gain 23 House seats and win a majority. The anxiety isn’t universal, with many party leaders professing confidently and repeatedly that this year really is different.
But even some of them acknowledge the similarities between the current and previous election: President Trump is unpopular and beset by scandal, Democrats hold leads in the polls, and some Republicans are openly pessimistic.

Yes, I agree that Mitch is digging the fact that he’s a national rock star now! He is no longer Yertle the Turtle, he’s bad@ss Cocaine Mitch LOL!!
Mitch has FINALLY realized that Trump is a good conservative president and a great leader. Mitch’s career and popularity will prosper if he hitches his wagon to Trump’s star.
Conservative feelings matter! ... This should be our new mantra... I have never read an article that dwells on how conservatives feel when they lose.
NO!! They are so EVIL, they put it on YOUR toast!!
What scandal......I see nothing but success in jobs, economy, the military....is there scandal?

Right, that would be WORSE!
Right. They wouldn’t be this desperate if they thought they were going to win.
Thank you for the efforts, the updates.
“We are advising the few Demonrats we know to wait unti Nov 7 to vote!”
We are telling them that the polls will be open only to democrats on 7 Nov., and their votes get counted twice.

“Hearing info from the ground that in MN they think they can win the AG race with the Jihadi Abuser Ellison”
~~~
IF the Abuser wins, can’t they start a recall/impeachment???
Seems to be the ‘magic word’ the dems are fond of throwing around...

....... but the Obama/Democrat plan is to place illegals in strategic electoral college states........

TALKING POINTS: This relocation gambit is cunningly structured to target strategic electoral college states. (hat tip ednamode).
Wouldn’t be ballot splitting. In some cases (AZ2, AZ8) the districts are purple.
Spin being operative word. It’s BS.
Trump is doing his part with his campaign rallies, and I hope the republican party, along with outside conservative organizations have stepped things up on the ground in these tight races. All of us need to step things up in the final weeks before the election to work toward increasing republican turnout in anyway we can until the polls close on November 6th. We are facing a corrupt and deranged opponent that won't think twice about cheating, or using dirty tactics, to steal an election if we allow them an opportunity. They will be busing in voters who have no idea what their doing, and shouldn't be voting, but we know the kind of shit they do, and we have to successfully counter that. Our nation's future depends on the results of these elections, and we have no choice other than victory if we are going to save this once great country. Let's make another leftist democrat meltdown a reality! MAGA!
Vote Republican November 6, 2018! TRUMP 2020!! MAGA!!!
Thanks!
I am having a hard time understanding how ANY of the Demonrat Mob antics since President Trump got elected will sway ANY voters to vote Demonrat!
LOL!
Appears the MN flip district was just polled & the R up a few. Also, hearing Sessions in TX is up 6 in his polling. So looks like Ds will get no seats out of TX, OH, or NC and will lose at least 2 in MN.
If anything, the Demonrat mob behavior since the 2016 election should be driving people AWAY FRom the Demonrats!
A Demonrat voter is, it seems to me, defying reason, logic and common sense!
People vote Demonrat only if they want to destroy America!
I believe that there are more Americans who love Trump’s America than hate it, and will provide a huge Demonrat smackdown on Nov 6!
