The Republicans have won FIVE so far.

And lost a Senate seat in Alabama.

So there's that.

The Gope especially Mitchy Globalist McConnell openly campaigned and pulled off the ugliest tricks in
recent history .
Where are those phony victims now ?

The fellow AL Rino Senator snake actually told AL residents on national tv to not vote for the Gop candidate three days before election day .

That was unreal situation .

The narrow Pennsylvania vote constitutes some Tsunami of an “enthusiasm gap”? I don’t think so.

It’s all media BS.

In 2016, House control wasn’t even a contest.

I believe it was called for Republicans by 10:00 pm.

The Republicans need good candidates. No more establishment RINOS.

If the midterms were today, yes, it would be huge Democrat tidlewave. The RATS would probably pick up 40 to 50 House seats and 2 or 3 Senate seats.

If Trump voters continue to stay home, it’s going to be ugly in November. The GOP my suck, but it will be bas for Trump if Pelosi returns to the Speakership and Schumer becomes Senate Majority Leader. Impeachment will be a certainty.

Thanks for the laugh.

You are one hard working troll.

The enthusiasm gap can be traced to bad GOP candidates.

- Roy Moore’s dating profile kept enough Evangelicals at home to swing the race to Jones.

- PA 18 voters were disgusted by Tim Murphy’s years of chest-pounding about being Pro Life while he secretly paid for abortions. The “ick” factor kept many at home this time.

Bottom line: The GOP has got to vet and police their guys more thoroughly. Democrats can get away with a slew of personal indiscretions, we can not. That’s just how it is.

I'm not so sure. It will put a crimp in Trump's agenda for sure, but after winning seats by running stealth Trumpist candidates, actually pulling the trigger on an impeachment will be tricky. Those voters will pick up pitchforks and make a beeline for Nancy's office.

It is true that Republican voters, in general, despise their Republican congress-critters, because they are, in general, a bunch of back-stabbers who care more about getting re-elected than the Constitution, and don't care about either one nearly as much as lining their pockets.

If Trump signs the gun ban, I will likely stay home in 2020.

They’ve all been closer than they were before and all were thought to be safe Republican seats. If you look at suburban Virginia, suburban Birmingham, suburban Pittsburgh, suburban Atlanta. Among self-described Republicans Trump’s popularity has not budged. But the number of people willing to say they are Republicans is down to the low 20’s%

More like a tsunami of Demoncrat election and voter fraud.

President Trump is going to be fighting impeachment for the rest of his first term. It will be impeachment fraud because there will be no legitimate basis but the "tsunami" of Dem/Communist political will.

The midterm is an vote for or against impeachment.

The best thing for Democrats is always the Republican that stays home. The Democrats fill the void.
