CDZ How many net senate seats will the Ds lose in 2018?

So you'd be okay funding kids to go to and Islamic academy????

Not happy but it is choice.

See Meathead, if that moron can answer a question; what is your excuse?

Since you can't read, what would be the point of repeating my answer. Now go away and annoy someone else.

I get it; you're too much of a pussy to say one way or another. A trait of many conservatives.

He may have not sorted out the finer points of his thoughts yet. He's a very solid poster who looks at all angles.

He’s a pussy, afraid to take a stand.

Nothing succeeds like success. As soon as there is a crisis that hits (actually or figuratively) those who are called middle American (middle income America, main street America, Joe Six Pack, whatever you want to call it), Trump is in huge trouble since he has zero convictions and even fewer workable plans to address any issues.

Oh and you have been right how many times in the last two years? Oh gee zero!
He like Ronald Reagan has the staff to get the job done.

Reagan had experienced staff who were able to cover for his weaknesses. Team Trump is fumbling around with no idea what to do

100% true. He also had an experienced Congress. The more he speaks, it is clear that Paul Ryan is an empty suit.

Under normal conditions, Republicans should pick up 3-5 seats

But Dems just have to wait to play their Trump card

Not sure I agree with that.

Ryan is a wonk, which means he understands the rules of debate in both houses. He's the political equivalent of English majors who try to prove that Bacon wrote Shakespeare's plays only there is some real world limited use for Ryan.

He's a typical bought and paid for shill, with zero real concern for what is good for the U.S. Trump supporters should target him for political extinction if they're smart and serious about real change.

We will have to see how Trumpcare plays out and whether Trump can keep his ass out of trouble for the next year and a half

 

[IResist]

I see a possible net gain for Democrats in 2018.

 

[awesome american man]

Probably will lose more seats. The dems have been a real bummer lately

 

[IResist]

The 2018 Senate map just keeps getting better for Republicans

9 Dem seats where Trump won. 1 red for the Beast.

States "where Rump won" ---- by razor thin margins, in states that rarely swing that way in an exquisitely-timed perfect-storm moment.

But enough of that -- back to the big historical picture. Looks to me generally like Democrats mostly defending reliably Democrat seats and Republicans mostly defending reliably Republican ones. Brace for non-impact.

Don't be daft. Do you honestly think::WI, MI, IN, OH, PA, FL, ND, MT, and MO are reliably Dem?!

Those are 9 states that went for Trump.

You should get a job a Democrat pollster.

My response to that is states Obama won in 2008 voted for Republicans in 2010 yet still voted for him in 2012. A lot can change in two years. A lot.

And again as I keep noting --- traditionally the electorate balances in a midterm. Almost always in fact.

Possibly because the more one party is in power, the more its flaws are prominently exposed.

The Republican Party was supposed to be moribund after FDR arrived. And not long before that they were supposed to be dead after placing a distant third in 1912. Next time the Presidency was open they won it with the biggest landslide ever in a contested election, and won the next two as well.

As long as the Duopoly presents the illusion of two parties that are different entities rather than a single entity expressed in two colluding divisions, that illusion guarantees balance. That's how Duopoly perpetuates itself.

 

[JimBowie1958]

I think the D's will lose six Senate seats, NET.

 

[rightwinger]

What are Democrats to do?

By all indications, 2018 looks like a disaster. Democrats never do well in midterms, Republicans have Gerrymandered the House, Republicans only need to defend nine seats in the Senate and most of those are red states. Republicans control the State Houses
Looks like a bad situation will only turn worse

Democrats will turn 2018 into a referendum on the Trump Presidency

Are you satisfied with Trumps performance?
Has he embarrassed you as President?
Did he deliver what he promised you?
Repeal Obamacare
Tax Reform
The Wall
Balanced budget
Locking up Hillary

Usually candidates run on their own merits. In 2018, each Republican candidate will be tied directly to Trump. Every vote they made, every statement supporting Trump

Can Republicans survive?

The Trump Presidency has been a train wreck.....one self induced crisis after another

The 2016 election marked a high water mark for republicans not seen in generations....how long will it take for Trump to destroy it?

Throwing out massive amounts of fake news isn't a 'train wreck', especially when it's from a Party and a media with less than zero credibility; it is in fact going to make the election cycle even worse for Democrats and other neon-fascist leftist brownshirts on the fringe. You know you're losing badly when your Party's moneybags have to resort to hiring 'activists' via Craig's List.

Day after day after day

Trump continues to shoot himself in the foot. Blaming others or calling it "fake news" does nothing to negate how inept Trump has been

2018 will be a referendum on the Trump presidency. Democrats will pound home ....A vote for a Republican is a vote in support of Trump
Republicans in Congress will be asked......You promised to repeal Obamacare, balance the budget, reform taxes, build a wall and delivered nothing....Why should I continue to vote for you?

Well, if that's the case, whatever those Democrats are doing....It is working
Trump is unable to be taken seriously. His fumbling responses to his crisis of the day prevents him from doing anything on Trumpcare, tax reform and even the Great Wall of Trump

The 2018 election will be a referendum on the Trump Presidency

Will Republicans survive?

No, it isn't, though I'm sure many of the hysterical Snowflakes are avidly telling themselves and each other it is.

Fake news.

The 2018 election will be a referendum on the Trump Presidency

It will be another GOP sweep, yes.

Will Republicans survive?

Hopefully some don't, like Ryan, McCain, and the establishment hacks.

Well, Trump is struggling to keep an approval rating over 40%
Won't bode well if the election becomes about Trump

On the larger front....when will Republicans finally be accountable for what they have promised?
They can't run against the Democratic agenda anymore......Republicans are calling the shots

They haven't delivered a thing
When will voters figure it out?
