OPINION: Six Reasons Republicans Might Keep Control Of Congress During Midterms

[bilo]

1. Democrats have only won two of ten special elections for Congress against Republican challengers since Trump’s election.

2. President Trump has an 85-percent approval rating within the Republican Party.

3. Of Americans surveyed, 77 percent believe mainstream media reports “fake news” and only 31 percent have a favorable view of the Democratic Party.

4. Democrats haven’t achieved more than a net gain of 23 House seats since 2006. They currently need 23 seats in the House and the Senate looks great for Republicans.

5. Democrats are running former CIA officials or candidates too far to the left in conservative districts.

6. The economy, Supreme Court picks, tax cuts and other achievements under the Trump administration.

Yes, Democrats have outperformed prior voter turnout figures in recent special elections, but they’ve still lost 8 out of 10 Congressional special elections. This Blue Wave is primarily media-driven, not policy focused. Furthermore, the media and Democrats are reviled by a large segment of the population.

I think Pub turnout will end up being stronger than expected. The turnout will be driven by support for Trump not congressional Pubs. They've failed us too many times. Also, all the Rat talk about impeachment is going to make Pubs fearful of the radical leftists being in control.

Even in the 2008 House elections, with the election of President Obama, Democrats only managed a net gain of 21 seats, and that Democratic party was for more unified and enthusiastic than today’s version.

We still have the Pub dominated gerrymandered districts from the 2010 census. Also, the Rats offer nothing but hate and tax increases.

All is not lost!

I have a good feeling going into this election. Things are not as dire as the MSM wants you to believe and the Rats have serious problems.

Spinners got to spin.   I don't believe anything anymore.

Most importantly, Trump has the second-highest approval rating within his party at the 500-day mark since WWII. Republicans overwhelmingly support Trump, despite the never-ending histrionics from Hollywood, the press and Twitter warriors. They’re going to show up in November like they’ve done in the ten prior special elections since Trump’s election, where the GOP is 8–2.

I'm starting to have a good feeling too.

I watched part of the Kavanaugh hearings and couldn't believe how disgusting the Rats were and how they made him a sympathetic figure. I think the same thing carries over to Trump. I know he's rough, crass and never lets up when he has an opponent down, but the attacks on him and his family have been so extreme it's got to turn people off. Congress hasn't done a lot to deserve our support, but they are what stands between Trump and the the crazy socialists.

If you think they've got problems now, Frank, just wait and see how they behave if they fail to take the House in November.
