There’s no question that Republicans will hold the Senate after the November 6th midterms, but the House is still up for grabs. Democrats will need to pick up 23 seats to take the House. The party opposing that of the President is always energized in the midterms, as we all remember from the Red Waves in 1994, 2010, and 2014, as conservatives were energized by opposition to Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. The so-called “resistance” against Trump certainly is energized, and they have the media on their side.
To combat that, Trump is moving to rally his base, campaigning for Republicans in vulnerable seats.
Trump on the Campaign Trail

According to Reuters, “Trump plans to visit Kansas on Saturday (October 6th), Iowa on Tuesday, Pennsylvania on Wednesday, Ohio on Friday and Kentucky on Saturday, Oct. 13, according to the internal memo seen by Reuters. In August and September, Trump campaigned for 10 House candidates in competitive races, flooding local markets with news about the Republicans and the president.”
Even without Trump’s campaigning, Republicans are prepared for battle. The Republican National Committee has out-fund-raised the DNC by a ratio of more than 2 to 1 this year. That’s a continuation of a trend that began with the election of President Donald Trump. Also of note, the RNC has much smaller average donations, which means they’re getting donations from a wide base, while the DNC has more concentrated donations from wealthy donors.

Another variable acting in favor of Republican is that Democrats don’t actually have a platform outside of “resisting Trump.” Issues like combating illegal immigration used to be bipartisan, so in opposing Trump on that issue, the Democrat Party has alienated a large chunk of prospective voters. I mention illegal immigration only to make the point that Democrats are taking wildly unpopular political stances solely because Trump takes the opposite stance. The only actual policy proposals I’ve heard from Democrats ahead of the midterms include raising taxes and gun control, neither of which are popular.
Dems Declining in Popularity?
Political stunts like the witch hunt against Brett Kavanaugh have only contributed to a further decline in Democrat popularity right before the midterms. While Democrats as a whole enjoyed a 14-point lead in the polls against their Republican counterparts, that lead was cut in half in only two weeks thanks to the Kavanaugh circus. According to a poll from the Huffington Post of all places, only 25% of women found the allegations against Kavanaugh credible. The 11th hour attempt to bring back the “Republican war on women” narrative fell flat.
A new Quinnipiac poll shows a drop in support for Democrats since earlier in the month from a 14-point advantage to 7. https://t.co/EPrKslLBvh

As a candidate, President Donald Trump promised that we’d be tired of winning if he were elected.

I can’t say I’m tired of winning yet, but I imagine Democrats certainly are tired of losing.

The left has no idea, but the country’s 80 million gun owners are just itching to take it to the Demcrats this time! Just ask Bill Clinton what happened when he POKED THE NRA BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE don’t talk to pollsters, just like in 2016! BUT REST ASSURED, WE WILL MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD ON NOV. 6TH! AND ALL OF THEIR ATTEMPTS TO GAS-LIGHT US WILL AGAIN GO FOR NAUGHT!
Time to start up some investigations of all dem senators involved in the ford plot to overthrow a legal candidate for the supreme court through lies and outright calls for physical attacks on republicans.
Now you know why they want our “GUNS!”
LET’S MAKE THE “RED TSUNAMI” MAKE THEM CRY FOR THEIR MOMMIES!
The Democratic asses – in the English sense- might have gained the H/R on the basis of Republican apathy, but instead they have provoked invincible internal solidarity. Apparently they need a 5% swing to win the H/R but they’ve shaved their lead back to half of that. Those Donkeys have shot themselves in all four hooves. Maybe all those super idiotic charlatans like Feinstein, Schumer, Spartacus Booker, Pelosi, Mad Max Waters and Pocahontas will also be swept away with the Red Wave. And that dipsy twit, Blaesy-Ford, will be imprisoned along with the other lying trollops, for perjury.
Taylor Swift is hoping to win a contest as a singer, so she has come out against Trump. Sadly, Taylor Swift has declared herself to be a libtard. She thinks people who agree with her are thoughtful and intelligent. I had hoped she was a crypto-Trumpista, protecting her business. Hopefully, her business collapses and she will go to cry in some LGBTQ corner. TS is another libtard stooge who has shot herself in the foot.
