Rep. Charlie Dent tells GOP to be ‘prepared for the worst’ in 2018

Retiring Rep. Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania said Sunday his GOP colleagues should be “prepared for the worst” and “hope for the best” ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, saying there is good policy in the Republican tax bill yet legislative victories don’t always translate into electoral success.

Mr. Dent, a Republican moderate known to reach for bipartisan solutions, said Democrats passed big bills on health care and financial reform in the early Obama years, only to get wiped out in 2010.

He said it’s unclear if the GOP will suffer the same fate, or if its tax cuts will buoy support.

Either way, he thinks the party is running into headwinds.

“Clearly, you know, the Republican Party, my party is going [to] experience losses. It remains to be seen whether or not we’ll lose the majority in the House or the Senate,” he told ABC’s “This Week.” “But I guess you have to be concerned.”

Don't go away mad, Charlie.

Oh yea, everyone wants to pay more taxes.

[Lurkinanloomin]

We can lose the majority of these Bush League weasels and still have a Republican majority in the House and Senate.

Shaddup.... pussy.

The Republicans will add 5-8 Senate seats in November. Not because of anything they are doing well, but because the only thing worse than Republicans is Democrats. And because of Trump.

Charlie, just leave and take your whining mouth with you!

“Mr. Dent, a Republican moderate known to reach for bipartisan solutions, said Democrats passed big bills on health care and financial reform in the early Obama years, only to get wiped out in 2010.”

Right you are Mr. Dent, and thanks for leaving. You are obviously less than aware as your example is of an unwanted bill forced upon the people while the current bill is one most everybody wants, and will gain positively from.

Your lack of comprehension will not be missed.

[dfwgator]

Charlie, just leave and take your whining mouth with you!

And get your nice cushy lobbyist gig.
