(Concern Troll) Matt Drudge Warns Of Midterm Bloodbath
The Daily Caller ^ | 09/14/2018 | Peter Hassan

Posted on 09/14/2018 1:46:23 PM PDT by fireman15

Conservative news giant Matt Drudge on Friday made a somber prediction about Republicans’ chances in the November midterm elections, predicting President Donald Trump will see his party lose 60 seats in the House of Representatives.

Drudge, who runs the influential Drudge Report, compared the upcoming midterms to the electoral bloodbath Democrats suffered in the 2010 midterm elections under former President Barack Obama.

I do not go to Drudge Report much anymore because I am not convinced that he is acting in our best interests at this point in time. This article about Drudge's Twitter was up on Whatfinger. There is no data that I am aware of that points to this scenario. If it does happen it will show that the last two years have been the biggest wasted opportunity that Republicans in Congress have ever been given.

Yep, and it will be interesting to see how many folks are singing McConnell's praises after that.

He’s just posting wishful thinking. But hey, if the possibility of that helps light a fire under Republicans, then good. Our side should be working like we’re way behind.

LOL. Thinking of Republicans as the political adversary of the Democrats was your first mistake. The two parties only disagree on who will eventually own you and I.

If the dems take either the house or the senate it’s all over but the screaming and the dying. That’s if we put up a fight...we might just go out with a whimper.

I hope they keep running this kind of nonsense all the way to election day.

Long ago Drudge became part of the anti-Trump brigade.

I predict that Drudge is WRONG.

This may be the beginning of his own self-diminishment.

Um, did you notice that Drudge added “Unless …”?

That’s kind of the whole point of his tweet.

And he’s right. Unless there is a good turnout for our side, their side could pull some upsets.

I think this is BS. Unless the cheating is massive. But we can hope that this lights a fire under republicans butts to get out and vote.

As for Matt Drudge.... He has gone deep state.

"If it does happen it will show that the last two years have been the biggest wasted opportunity that Republicans in Congress have ever been given. "

Five objections: Neil Goresuch, Bret Kavanaugh, Jerusalem, tax cuts and deregulation.

"Trump and Obama both have 47% approval at this time of presidency, according to Rasmussen. Trump will also lose 60 seats in the House like Obama did during first midterm! Unless..."

Okay, Matt -- unless?

(I dunno how it follows. Obama's approval was distributed more uniformly over the US than Trump's. Those blue congressional districts can't get any bluer.)

Drudge is pretty equal opportunity in his news reporting. If Republicans lose like that, it is a shame, and their loss. Too many cycles we've seen them promise one thing to get elected, then do another once in DC.

I suspect we'll see lots of continued reports saying Blue Wave or Red Wave. Lots of speculation. I'm sure there will be surprises come November but I seriously doubt it will be an overall Republican rout.

Unfortunately Drudge’s term “bloodbath” was a metaphor and a real one might be on the way, God forbid.

Dems and socialists already have set the tone for targeting us for being “hate speech” supremacists who o be shot or slashed like Scalise and now others, too. Egged on my Maxine with no punishment to her, so emboldened like nasty children doing more mayhem.

If banks (debit cards, savings and checking accounts) and Master Card and Visa (no dealings allowed with NRA purchases for example) make it impossible for us to get our earned money to feed our families and pay bills on time (and cash is already suspicion of criminal activity-—Michael Savage has a nightly “The War on Cash” ad about that topic) then the “bath” may be more than metaphorical.

“Thinking of Republicans as the political adversary of the Democrats was your first mistake. The two parties only disagree on who will eventually own you and I.”

You sure have a way of putting things.

I wish I could disagree with you, but the evidence is squarely in your corner.

I know Trump has his hands full with all sorts of things, the least being the lack of cooperation from the Establishment GOP.

But this Russia thing has dragged on for so long and zapped a lot of energy and attention away from the real story- the dynamic economy.

The press doesn't want to cover the good news, and the Mueller investigation has given them bad news to print for two years. Come November, whatever happens in the election, Trump needs to starting kicking ass and taking names. Otherwise, this stuff will go on until 2020.

Direct some ads (during college football games) at newly employed or re-employed.

“If you are glad to have a job vote Republican.”

Short and sweet.
