Why oh why, would he say this; especially just weeks before the mid-terms and with early voting starting next week?

Those who may be disgruntled and not sure if they should sit it out or go and vote, may just figure that the GOP will hold their majorities anyways and stay home.
Rush Limbaugh predicts GOP will hold House, make gains in SenateRush Limbaugh, in an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, predicted Republicans will hold both houses of Congress next month – defying the Washington wisdom that Nancy Pelosi is in line for speaker.
“We hold the House and increase the Senate,†the conservative talk radio host predicted in an interview set to air Thursday night on Fox News' "Hannity" at 9 p.m. ET.
He added, “I think the Democrat Party deserves to lose in the biggest single electoral landslide defeat in my lifetime because of the actions they’ve taken just in the last month.â€
The party out of power in the White House historically picks up seats in the first post-presidential midterms. And polling has suggested 2018 will be no different -- showing an environment that still favors Democrats.

But some Democratic figures recently have voiced concerns the party is overconfident about its odds of reclaiming the House.
Limbaugh said he’s skeptical of the polls..........
