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 don’t consider Matt Drudge a “conservative” (actually I don’t consider myself a conservative).
Regardless I see no evidence that the Democrats with no real message other than they hate President Trump is going to overcome a booming economy.
As that famous politician once said “It is the economy stupid”
I bet many democrat leaning companies buy ads for his page which is why he posts such nonsense.
I haven’t been to his page in a very long time.
Republicans will need a DT—— Department of Therapy- to cope with that outcome!(/S) Like Democrats in their last loss to Trump.
Doubt. Drudge recognizes that being unpredictable keeps people coming back to his site. And if you want to be unpredictable, there's always something in the news to have an opinion about.
Until the day after the election, we should be concerned.
“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.”
Like it or not, Trump chose the Republican Party - and he stronger if they are stronger.
Feel free to vote for and advocate for more true conservatives in the Republican party - you are absolutely right that many of the current republicans are not our friends and need to be primaried.
But arguing that there is no difference between Democrats and Republicans plays right into Democrat hands and harms the President and his agenda.
Is that what you want?
Why is he a concern troll for looking at the polls? We are losing in them. Are we down as badly as the media says? Probably not, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be worried none the less. The stakes have never been higher. The Republicans need to get it in gear. I am seeing way to many ads from the Democrats and not enough from the Republicans.
Define "our side".
Is Paul Ryan on "our side"? Is Kevin McCarthy?
The people you think of as "our side" are TRYING TO LOSE.
And that's exactly what they are going to do.
And the Republicans may lose 60 seats, I don’t know. But while this midterm may seem to be a ‘national election’ it is in reality 435 separate local elections. A few may be state-wide races like Wyoming, but most are much smaller. Urban districts are going to vote D, but then, they aways do. But you have to ask yourself, do most people in the suburbs really want higher taxes, fewer jobs, higher unemployment? I kind of find that hard to believe. But national polling just doesn’t make sense for HofR races.
Hugan is pounding the airwaves against Martinez in NJ. Rennenci is a terrible canidate.

Does Drudge benefit from this kind of chicken little crap?
Most or many of the comments on this thread read like the posters are not planing on voting for Rs in the fall, which means basically the end of the DJT Presidency.
Drudge is not a conservative. I discovered that two years ago. Deleted him from my contacts. He is a Romney guy and always has been. F him.
Guess it’s ok now for liberals not to vote.
Kinda of dumb statement given the difference in economic policies passed by the respective parties and the judges being appointed to courts.
The number of help wanted signs in my area suggest otherwise. We've got the best economy we've had in 20 years and Congress deserves it share of the credit for it.
And, McConnell, for all his flaws, has been doing a pretty good job of getting judges confirmed. And, there couldn't be a bigger difference in the kind of judges being nominated by Trump as opposed to Obama.
