Trump says he’s not worried about Republicans losing the House
The New York Post ^ | November 2, 2018 | Bob Fredericks

President Trump on Friday raised the specter that Republicans could lose control of the House of Representatives in Tuesday’s midterm elections — but didn’t seem too worried about the prospect.

“It could happen. Could happen,” Trump said at a MAGA rally for GOP candidates in West Virginia.

“And you know what you do? My whole life, you know what I say? ‘Don’t worry about it, I’ll just figure it out.’ Does that make sense? I’ll figure it out,” he added, apparently the first time he publicly broached the possibility of the loss of the House at a rally.

The GOP could lose, he reflected, because there were so many House races, and he could not campaign in all of them.

I’ll figure it out

A real man. A man of action. THIS is what heroes say.

He is not worried because he knows it will not happen.

Yes but saying this doesn’t exactly encourage people to get to the polls.

It sounds as if he knows it’s a good chance the dems will win IMO

He is saying the GOP isn’t any better than the Rats. He’s right.

No, what better way to motivate Republicans than to remind everyone of what’s at stake?

‘Don’t worry about it, I’ll just figure it out.’
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anybody else says that I’m skeptical, he says it, I believe him.

He really shows a lot of self confidence in his ability to adapt and overcome and with good reason. His experience tells him he has that capacity.

We are already seeing media and political candidates make comments about DNC losses and failures, also seeing excuses being harvested.

The next couple days, pay attention to loser talk and where the candidates physically are campaigning. If a candidate is standing on safe ground, they are in trouble.

Keep the senate and the president still sends tons of judges up for confirmation - I definitely think the stinky republicans can keep the senate. The lower house I think 🤔 is a toss up.

I’ll be flipping between Rachel Maddow, Shemp Smith and The Clinton News Network hoping to see 2016 tears.

Even if the Rats take the House, they couldnt do jack sh*t about it. Trump blocks them every time just like when obamatard was prez to the GOP House and Senate.

The solid Gold Trump Veto Pen will be working OT if the Rats get in.

If the Rats win the House, POTUS Trump will be first one to congratulate “Speaker” Pelosi and tell her he looks forward to working with her to fulfill his MAGA Agenda.

“Exactly. He’s a MAN. Men dont make excuses and solve the problem.”

This reminds me of Dick Armey and the great Tea Party march on Washington of 9/09 where we put about 1,800,000 people into DC to protest Obola. Dick said he always like to under promise and over deliver, and proceeded to over deliver.
