I said the same thing in 2016 — wait and see. Nothing is guaranteed except that many, many people are stupid, and democrats cheat.

Nossir. In 2018, we will lose the House and the Senate, and Hillary Clinton will be elected President.

And Zombies. Lots of Zombies.

Someone was absent during history class....or maybe not.

This all too close for confort, even the Senate. We must vote.

The media forecast a blue wave in an attempt to discourage Republicans into just staying home because it would be pointless to vote.

Now they’re also trying, “you’re winning, so no point in voting, you’ve got this in the bag.”

Either tactic is irrelevant if we just get out and vote.

These articles used to make me angry. Now I love them. Everyday they write stuff that demonstrates they have no clue what happened to them and they have no clue as to how to recover from their losses. They make crap up they attribute the wrong ideas to what happen and they will never get it. This was so frustrating when we were losing. But we are winning now and I just laughed my head off every time I read an article like this. They get about 30% right but even the 30% they get right the reason for their reasoning is completely wrong

archaic electoral college

Yeah, just like those archaic baseball rules which counts things like runs scored and games won rather than the total number of hits or men on base. The New York Yankees shoulda won the 1960 World Series against the Pittsburgh Pirates if those more modern and enlightened metrics were used.

What would FR be without the negative Nellies?

Got a nice chuckle out of this. I love all FReepers, but there are many I'd never want in a foxhole with me.

Check my tagline. Why? The combination of Trump rallies, the Kavanaugh overreach by the Babykillers, and the Democrats attacking Conservatives and Republicans in restaurants and on the streets, will turn this election into a monster bloodbath.

BTW, I worry about election fraud. However, I'm pretty sure Trump has thought about this, and has some controls in place.

I read somewhere that, to save the Democrat party, they need to be destroyed in this election. I agree with that. A viable Democrat party will keep Republicans honest. The flagburning babykilling copkiller-loving whackadoodles that run that party now need to be demolished.

Thank you; I needed that! Just add “Kavanaugh will be arrested”...

Ding. Ding. Ding. And, the winner is...

Every year, every race, MSM/Democrats/pollsters (same/same/same) initially, first polls out, start out saying the Dem has a massive 40 point lead. Got to fire up the low information Dem voter base to get them motivated. Gotta make ‘em confident. Then as we get closer to reveal day they have to come up with some excuse to “explain” why the polls are moving closer.

... that it doesn't have a "right side" where Democrats can dwell; it doesn't mechanically hand out power to the morally superior, or to the smartest, or to those with the best manners.

Megan McArdle appears to be incapable of 'engaging in some basic introspection'? That's an understatement Rob the Ugly Dude.

She thinks Republicans control the Presidency, Senate, House, Supreme Court, most State Legislatures, and most State Governorships because we're 'lucky'??? While her side is superior, smarter and has better manners? LOL - gimme a break.

One of the things God has blessed us with are opponents incapable of seeing the reality around them... which is why they're not superior, smarter or morally superior... AND it's why they're losing.

If we win Senate seats, there is no way we lose the House.

You can’t win Senate seats and still lose the House. We will win at least 5 Senate seats. Watch the old you tube videos on 2014 and see how shocked the commentators were about the Red wave, they believed their own polls, like they did in 2016.

Of course, we will know in a few weeks, but the momentum is on our side, not theirs. There are also some Democrat seats that may flip as well.
