New fear: Democrats could win Senate

[jpsb]

@jpsb

I don't know what to believe about Cruz's seat.  One minute there's a poll which puts him comfortably ahead, the next, one comes out that shows a very close race.

I'm pretty  sure Ted will win, but the GOP has got to give the base a reason to vote. Build the Wall!

[jpsb]

@mrpotatohead

I'm surprised so many people in Texas are enthused about Beto.  It's going to be a long slog until November.

We have a lot of refugees from liberal Cali here, and of course millions of illegals many of whom vote.

@jpsb

If the Dims and the alleged Republicans join together to do this,HOW will it be Trumps fault?

Seems to ME that if anything,such a unholy alliance would only bring out more voters for Trump.

For Trump? Yes in 2020. For the GOP in the 2018 mid-terms? No.

Let Ted give the base his record in the Senate as a reason to vote.  This should be enough. 

[MajorClay]

GOP should pick up 4. It is just as likely that they will pick up 10 as they will lose 2.

For Trump? Yes in 2020. For the GOP in the 2018 mid-terms? No.

@jpsb

I apologize for misunderstanding this was a discussion about 2018,and not one of the regularly-scheduled  Trump 2020 attacks.

I stand corrected.

Thank you.

[Jazzhead]

Like clock work.  A new day and a "new fear" story from the blathers in the msm.

Fear is good.  Fear motivates people to vote.

If we lose the Senate and/or the House, it will be the consequences of doing nothing and the GOP staying home just like they did in '06.

Don't let the Rat BS fool you - the GOP is in command of their own destiny, if they can get their base to turn out.

The real battle for the mid-terms will happen this Sept/Oct. Congress will either fund border
security (The Wall) or it won't. If the GOP house funds border security the GOP will keep the
House. If the GOP Senate tries to pass border security we will keep the Senate. However if they
do nothing we will lose the House and very likely the Senate too.

Paul RINO and Mitch RINO have both said maybe next year on border security. Border security is
the number one issue for the American people and the RINOs in Congress do not want to do any
thing about our border with the failed narco terrorist state to our south. Gangs, drugs, sex
offender and human trafficers don't matter to them.

Oh,it's much worse than that. We will lose America.

[libertybele]

You get to pull the President into Cruz's campaign --- for good or bad -- only if Cruz asks for the President to campaign with and for him.

If he doesn't and Ted's in jeopardy, it's Ted's responsibility, solely.

Interestingly, Trump seems to insert himself into campaigns when they haven't asked him to join.  All, I'm saying is by the polls Ted is in trouble.  TX goes and it will set the tone of the election for the rest of the country.

Trump already stated that he would destroy Ted if he didn't play his game.  IMHO, TX is not a 'game' that we can afford to play with.

Exactly.  People tend to conveniently forget that.

@jpsb

I don't think so, Trump will win in 2020 and we'll take back the House and the Senate then. But all
progress made will be undone. And Trump will be impeached but not convicted.

I don't think people realize that the Rats and their nutroots followers feel they were entitled to power with Hillary. If they actually get back power, they are going to ensure they keep it this time with whatever they have to do.

^^^^THIS!

Will add that if there truly is this new 'fear' that Democrats could win Senate, my reaction is - what difference does it make if they do?  To me - there's not a cent of a tinker's damn worth of difference between 'em.  They both serve as an oligarchy to the Beast.

[INVAR]

Meh.  That scare tactic has been used with increasing vehemence since Dole ran in every single national election cycle.

We lost America when the people discarded foundational principles and decided to vote themselves largesse from the public treasury at the urging of politicians seeking to rule us for life.

@Free Vulcan

I agree. In THEIR evil minds,they thought they OWNED the presidency,and that Bubbette! would be next,probably followed by Little Brown Bush.

That is what is at the root of all their anger at Trump. He came in and spoiled it for them.

@INVAR

In other words,when Bob Dolt started being taken seriously.

[Emjay]

A lot of people don't realize that the $$ has to come from the House and approved in the Senate.  I don't hold much stock in polls, but the polls indicate that Ted is in deep doo doo and so is TX.  We shall see.

Ya think?  I think Ted Cruz will win without breaking a sweat.

[INVAR]

@INVAR

Dole and after is when I began to hear and read 'this election is the most important of our lifetimes - we will lose America if we lose this election' and similes assorted since that time. 

It no longer has any teeth to motivate me to hold my nose and cast a vote to block the other slime ball.  I suspect it has lost it's fizz with a whole lot more.

Agreed, or it’s just more of the same old lies.

And a lot of people think the Constitution states that all spending bills must originate in the House, even though it doesn't.

If the damn GOP Congress would just try to keep their campaign promises they would be fine. We
need voter ID here. If we get voter ID we will be red for a long time.
