Always a coordinated misinformation campaign from the left. They may be assclowns, but they know how to manipulate the masses with propaganda.

Same crap we heard before Nov ‘16.
I do think the midterms are a challenge, but there is no doubt the MSM would have GOP voters throw up their hands and stay home.

That bait n’ switch strategy worked in 2006, when a bunch of alleged moderates got elected and promptly did everything Nancy Pelosi told them to. They no longer exist, the voters having wised up. The Democrats are hoping the voters forgot so they can run the same grift again.


The LEFT has always done this and they will keep doing it. Rahm Emmanuel was very successful with this strategy in 2006.

Fearsome blue wave. Not enough of President Trump’s agenda has been accomplished, and his supporters aren’t going to be enthusiastic about getting to the polls to vote for congresscritters. Add to that, establishment ‘pubs did NOTHING to stand up to the bogus issues used to target Roy Moore and other Deplorables. They did nothing to punish the likes of Sue Collins, Jeff Flake, and John McCain, who have sabotaged issues that are important to us.

Traditional wisdom holds that “A fat pope follows a thin one”. In other words, swing your country hard right and the pendulum swings back.

Congressional republicans have done everything they could to stymie President Trump and hold the line for the Big Gov, Big Spending Deep State.

They prevented the president from killing Obamacare.
The refused to build the border wall.
They passed the democrats huge dream budget.

Republicans don’t care if the democrats gain House and Senate majorities as long as they stop the Trump inspired populist voter uprising in its tracks.

Who the hell do the pisant voters think they are anyway, trying to tell republicans and democrats how to run the government?

President Trump needs to treat the November election as his personal campaign. He needs to campaign heavily in every state. His goal: Gain at least 5 seats in the Senate and have a new Senate majority leader, expand the House freedomn caucus as much as possible, and work to have Jordan elected Speaker.

Create a “Contract With America 2.0”, which could be called something else, instead, and then, determine, through consensus with the majority of LEGAL non-leftist U.S. voters, what the issues should be and how many of these issues should be listed! Vote, in the primaries and in the general election for candidates who, fully, endorse this “Contract With America 2.0”. Defeat as many Democrats, RINO Republicans, AND anti-Trump Republicans as is possible and to the best of human abilities. Problems solved, if the non-left would, just, do all of these things!

President Hillary Clinton was a done deal too. There is still an undercurrent and foment among the denizens of Main Street against the Deep State.

That we could muster it once more in sufficient numbers to attain the rather nebulous objective of electing a majority of the sometimes recalcitrant herd of cats that come together under the Republican banner, remains an unknown and perhaps unknowable factor right up until the votes are counted. Not one victory, but hundreds of separate victories, each with a tailored approach.

It is really much easier for Democrats - they only need to turn out their people on “anti-Trump” sentiment, but they have nothing to offer as a legislative agenda but higher taxes, a return to a heavy regulatory burden on all Americans, and fanciful plans for the supremacy of the global warming myth and destruction of all the efforts to secure our borders against an undocumented mob of invaders.

Many of the more egregious “hands across the aisle” Republicans have announced their intention to simply leave their elective office, taking their pensions and going home, creating a vast vacuum into which SOMETHING must be filled. Keep in mind that there shall NEVER be any reciprocity from the Democrats in regards to extending a hand back to the other side of the aisle.

That was always a one-way deal. “Heads I win, tails you lose.”

The big question is whether they are going to manifest in much higher than usual numbers in patriotic districts now held by Republicans instead of merely running up the score in places the like the shooting gallery districts of Chicago or the feces n’ syringe districts of San Francisco that already go 70% Democrat. So those hellholes double the number of voters and go 80% Democrat?

If Alabama and Pennsylvania are any indication they may well turn out in higher numbers in Republican districts. The question is whether the President can motivate his base to turn out, because the members of Congress themselves sure won't be able to.

Create a “Contract With America 2.0”

And if they did, who would believe Congress was serious about it?

I had hoped that prominent Democrats would be indicted and preliminary evidence of high treason would be entered as evidence as we headed toward the November elections.

Imagine if the idea that Antonin Scalia were murdered and that Loretta Lynch had been promised a seat on the Supreme Court — if that were being seriously discussed by some in the media, it would matter a great deal in November.

But the time now seem late for these crimes to effect 2018.

I really hope for a tsunami of conservatives. Praying for it to God’s glory, not ours.

America is a nation in deep moral and spiritual trouble. We need an Awakening.

Ditch is actively fighting Trump in every way possible.

Makes increasing GOPee head count in the Senate questionable.

The left is rabid and will probably turn out at the level of a presidential election like we saw last year in AL and VA. Meanwhile the GOPe is doing nothing but piss off Trump’s base with their footdragging.

They are always hoping for it.

I’m praying for a take back of the government by real patriots.

Praying that those who support what this country stands for and was established on, will get off their backsides and VOTE.
