Nope, given the size of Trump's rallies this year.

Funny you should mention Trump’s massive crowd sizes this year.
In 2910, Obama’s first midterms, Obama’s crowd sizes were down up to 80% in 2010 midterm campaigns from 2008, just 2 years before. From The Guardian, a strong Obama supporting outfit:

———— But his famous rhetorical skills are no longer enough, and the Democrats are facing defeat in elections to Congress and for governorships on a scale political analysts say has not been seen in over 60 years.

Screens at the Wolfstein Centre, Cleveland, showed the Obama logo from the 2008 White House race, the old campaign songs were played and the crowd noisily chanted his slogan ‘Yes, we can’. However, in contrast with the 2008 election, when across the US an Obama rally was a hot ticket and people had to be turned away, he attracted only 8,000 to the 13,000 capacity stadium. When he appeared at a rally in the same city in 2008 two days before the White House election, 80,000 turned out———-

Am I the only one who believes Trump is working to reduce vote fraud?

Expect ICE to step up enforcement actions in certain congressional districts in the first week of November, in the run up to November 6 with ICE patrol cars packed not too far from polling booths on the day of the elections. That should make quite a few of the millions of Mexican illegals who regularly vote in our elections to sh*t their pants.

“Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., said “it’s undeniable” that Trump has delivered on “a number of his key objectives in his campaign” — despite having failed on others, such as getting Mexico to pay for a border wall, or delivering big infrastructure legislation — and that those victories, including Kavanaugh’s confirmation, will even further harden support among his core backers.”

I hope the Republicans hold both houses. Not because they deserve to, but because I would love to see Trump stick it to the blue states when it comes to infrastructure improvements. If Scott can hold Wisconsin, I would start there, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Solidify those states for 2020.

Not sure why you edited the NBC article, citing LAT/WP in your history.

At the NBC Article, there is absolutely no citation to LAT nor WP.

It’s the only item on the drop down menu that deletes from thread “history” the original post completely. Just playing it safe.

You know, the nonstop 7x24x365 propaganda gets a little tiring.

Restoring USA to USA; tiring? Our fathers did not tire of fighting when there a war needed to be won. We must persevere, or perish.
