>>Clinton lost seats.
Bush lost seats.
Obama lost seats.

They were not Trump.

There is a red wave coming thanks to Trump. <<

I don’t why analysts are missing the obvious although this one seems closer. Usually the midterms don’t have much at stake to the average American. Yeah, the “other guys” will get in but how much damage can they do?

But the democrats has over-telegraphed their agenda. America — which f course includes Trump’s base — KNOWS the following will happen:

1) If the House goes (d) President Trump will be (unsuccessfully) impeached.
2) If the Senate goes (d) the soon to be late rbg’s replacement will never be confirmed and the seat will remain empty until after Pence’s administration.

Joe and Jane White/Blue Collar in flyover country who might not have been paying attention are now made VERY politically aware, courtesy of millionaires pelosi, maxine, fauxahauntas and others.

IMHO mind you.

Its not the blue wave, but the red wave of Republicans/conservatives staying away that needs worrying.

><

Great point. The key will our side voting. We cannot be complacent or over confident or underestimate the enemy.

But I think our side will be very fired up.

If I had to bet, I’d bet we hold onto the House but lose seats, and gain a couple seats in the Senate.

><

That’s how I see it.

Except for those who refuse to vote for rinos and those candidates perceived as anti-DJT or his agenda, and those who want to reach various elected people a lesson. And that could be enough in local district elections to tip the balance to blue.

IMHO all those on FR need to be pounded and pounded to vote and vote R no matter what.

Excellent points and I agree. Some people can’t see the big picture.

We cannot allow the Communists to win. That’s what they are.

Big money elites are democrats... all of Hollywood... most of Wall Street ... 90% of Washington DC and 98% of the top press people... of course they can raise big buck. Dems sell access... they sell better trade deals FOR THEIR FRIENDS, AND THEY DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE (those without millions)... Dem donations are greasing the hands of those who GIVE back to them.

Why No Blue Wave is on the Way

In a word, the 'economy' will doom the democrats per the 2018 elections!

There will be October surprises from the Dems and RINOs on one side and President Trump on the other. It should be interesting.

Continue praying for the President Trump and his allies.

I can't tell you how happy it would make me - that after the Rs gains seats in both houses and Kavanaugh is appointed, President Trump calls in Sessions, Rosenweasel and Mueller and tells them: YOU'RE FIRED !! Talk about liberal heads exploding - we'd all need to buy raincoats.

There's no law against dreaming and sometimes - dreams come true! LOL!!

Reagan loss seats, just throwing it out there.

The economy was pretty bad in '82 though.

They will continue to predict a "Blue Wave" so that once again they can blame a Democrat loss on meddling/collusion/fraud.

That will help justify the leftist rioting.

There is a red wave coming thanks to Trump. And it will be glorious.

They also didn't have a raging, insane media that is pissing EVERYONE off, and a bunch of pussy hat wearing lunatics that are pissing everyone off, and a bunch of racist black lives but cop lives don't matter lunatics that are pissing everyone off.

I can't wait to vote. I am raging furious at the lunatic left. The #WalkAway movement is going to prove they are not "Russian Bots" and will join forces with the Trump revolutionaries or they will stay home. This is going to be a tidal wave that rocks the crazy left.

I agree 100%. Trump needs to gain seats. We had the primaries and ended up with who we have. Any loss of an R- whether a filthy RINO or SWAMP R or not - will hurt the wall and Trump.

It is time for all good men and women to hold our noses, at least, one last time and vote against the Democrats. Hopefully, whomever you have for a vote choice is a conservative you can support. Mine are. However, since John Weasel McCain isn’t running, there is no excuse not to vote Republican this time around.

You are right on.

I believe most people now realize how critical the situation is.

Newt was just on Hannity. Newt said the key to winning will be for the Republicans to have the guts to tell it like it is and use the issues which all favor us.

Reagan started with a recession as he single-handedly defeated Dhimmi Carter's stagflation.

Nice try, though.
