With the fake polls showing Democrats set to take over the House, a word of caution is in order.

Just because they lost last time doesn’t mean they won’t win this time.

It’s tough to win a mid-term election; that happened for the party in the White House only in 1934 and 2002.

I’m not saying the odds can’t be beat, I’m advising against overconfidence.

I couldn’t agree more. Complacency and over confidence are killers.

We must treat this election as if it were tied up or we were behind in every race.

The 1962 midterms were a wash—the party holding the White House gained 2 seats in the Senate and lost only 4 in the House (the Republicans gained 2—the total number went down from 437 to 435 after having been temporarily raised because of the admission of Alaska and Hawaii in 1959). JFK’s October Surprise (the Cuban Missile Crisis) probably helped the Democrats.

Trust me they won’t. The lying flying monkey media would not put out so much BS to try to psychologically suppress votes if they didn’t know they were in trouble. Remember they only poll people that vote democrap. They won’t poll us because they don’t like us.
