The GOP's nightmare scenario

The GOP's nightmare scenario

A growing number of Republicans are privately warning of increasing fears of a total wipeout in 2020: House, Senate, and White House.

Why it matters: All of this is unfolding while the economy still looks strong, and before public impeachment proceedings have officially begun.

    House Republicans in swing districts are retiring at a very fast pace, especially in the suburbs of Texas and elsewhere. (Republicans talk grimly of the "Texodus.") Rep. Greg Walden — the top Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and the only Republican in Oregon's congressional delegation — yesterday shocked the party by becoming the 19th GOP House member to not seek re-election.

    The Republican Senate majority, once considered relatively safe, suddenly looks in serious jeopardy. Democrats are raising more money, and polling better, than Republican incumbents in battleground after battleground.

    President Trump trails every major Democratic candidate nationally and in swing states — and his favorable ratings remain well under 50%.

And the worst part, if this turns out to be true, is that it will all be blamed upon Conservatism.

Yet more propaganda from the left.  Not worth mentioning IMHO.

I see things in just the opposite way.  Chance are great that Trump will win the presidency in a landslide victory, and we may possibly see the GOP gain seats in the House and  Senate.  Otherwise the left wouldn't have continued the Russian collusion investigation for the length of time that they did, nor would they be going after him in the Ukraine, nor would they be trying to impeach him.

Obviously it could go either way -- if they impeach and remove Trump, of course it's game over as I believe Pence is corrupt.  However, IF Trump is able to turn the tables and show the corruption of the leftists, particularly Bammy, Clinton and Biden in the Ukraine -- game over for the left.

I continue to pray for this President and our country.

Is this why some Republicans like Shimkus are not running for reelection?  Drudge has this headline up now.  Well, we've heard nothing but these negatives for 3  years and they haven't really panned out.

I know President Trump claimed a tremendous victory in the 2018 elections, but it wasn't true.

Nope.
The blame won't be fallin' on "conservatism".

Where it WILL be a-fallin' on... is on "neverTrumpism".

Plenty of that to be seen, right here in this forum!

Mike Pence isn't "corrupt".
But he will prove to be a remarkably ineffectual president.

Even if Mr. Trump is re-elected in 2020, and Mr. Pence follows in his footsteps and wins the 2024 election, he'll end up like Bush 1 was to Ron Reagan, and be out in one term.

Nope. Tumpy and his Tumpists claim this to be the very most awsomest conservative administration EVAH... So when it fails, and people are fed up, it will be Conservatism that takes the hit.

Just exactly like with Dubya. Same_exact_thing.
Even though neither one applied a single dang conservative principle in their entire career. And ten years down the road, people are shaking their heads.

Except Conservatives, who are shaking their heads already.

Well, the Donkey's nightmare scenario is they lose the House and are locked out of the Legislative and Executive branches of government.  And by the time the President's next term ends they'll also be locked out of the Judiciary for a generation.

Yep

Conservatives and Conservative thought are an anathema to today's GOP  the post directly below yours is the validation of that..always have the last word always appeal to emotion

I once believed the American electorate was, on the whole, an deliberative body, that was basically Conservative,  and sometime but not often  suffered the idiot politician. Today the GOP proclaims the idiot draft dodger, with multiple marriages, multiple bankruptcy's, undoubtedly the most morally repugnant person to ever be POS as their guy...

A real Conservative, in today's world, is not going to make a damn bit of difference because 45% of the Country is emotionally tied to the Dims and 45% is tied to GOpers. Those folks support their team no matter what...
