Why Are Some Republicans So Worried About Losing the House and/or the Senate?

[mikegriffith1]

I know that the Republicans would much rather keep control of at least the Senate, and ideally keep the House too, but they should not be shocked or dismayed if they lose one or both. For many decades now, it has often happened that the party in the White House has lost many seats in Congress in the mid-terms, and on several occasions has lost control of the House and/or the Senate. It happened under Eisenhower, Reagan, Clinton, Bush, and Obama.

So it would not be a shocking new event, much less the end of the world, if the Dems were to take control of one or both chambers of Congress, since they would not have anything close to a veto-proof majority in either chamber, which would mean that Trump could veto anything he didn't like and the Dems could not override his veto.

One word: Hearings.

That's why.

Actually it's happened at one point or another to literally every President as long as the Duopoly has existed that the party in the White House loses ground in the midterm. It's our way of balancing. Ain't much given a Duopoly of lookalikes but it's all we gots.

After crazy lefties torched cars and smashed windows on inauguration day and a democrat activist and Sanders supporter strapped on a gun and traveled to Washington D.C. to murder conservative republicans and after a monster opened fire on a (republican) country concert in Vegas and killed 52 Americans you don't call it paranoia if they are out to get you.

Maybe one should consider at what cost are the Democrats willing to pay to assume power?

It is clear the last thing the DNC can tolerate is the disclosure and emergence of truth, the results would and will be devastating to say the least.

Country music festivals come in political parties now?

Dumbass partisan hacknoid.

It’s important because we don’t want neo-Marxists running any aspect of government.

I'd love to watch that. What a joy that would be.

Congress isn't doing anything useful anyhow.




But if they don't find anything, do we get to throw those who started it in jail?

Only if they surpass the umpteen number of Benghazi hearings.

Not only that, the Las Vegas shooter's primary target was Lallapalooza in Chicago.

These parroting hacks are getting boring.

On laws passed..........doesn't mean squat anyway.............the Senate is a graveyard of bills............

Has been for quite some time...............other than cleaning up the old laws........we really don't need more laws anyway...........too dang many already.

The left wants the house so we can listen to them scream Impeachment for years.................Mickey Mouse club presents............no one with any common sense listens to the BS up there anymore.

But who did they lose them too when we had a Republican President?

DEMOCRATS!

Who are we really losing to now? Democrats?

Nope, we would lose to Socialist/Marxists. The Democrats are now just a name, proven by how many have left their party, and gone independent.

You want civility in politics? Defeat them in 2018, and 2020, and just like after Reagan won, the far Left will be flushed out of the Democratic party. WE NEED the Democratic party, we really do! A one party state by either side is NOT good.

Let us all face it-------------> Most of the Republicans are NOT the solution to our problems; they just aren't! But what is our problem as a country? FAR LEFTISTS, not Democrats!

It is like saying you need a truck, but the Republicans only offer a small car; meanwhile, the Far Left is only offering a pair of Nikes for your feet! (climate change ya know)

Let me TELL YOU a few things Mike, you might not be aware of----------->

1. If/when they get back house, or senate, or both, they want to try an impeach judge K!

2. They also want to try and run an investigation on Judge Thomas! (bet you didn't know that)

3. And IF we hold all 3 branches, as soon as they have the Presidency and Senate, they want to EXPAND the SC ala Roosevelt! (bet you didn't know that either, and it is true)

Why?

Because they can NOT get America to vote for their idiotic platform, so their only choice is to get America to vote AGAINST us. But to implement their "I know better" agenda, they MUST have the court! You can't throw those people out, and 1 black robe is a whole lot easier to sway, than 300 million Americans. Don't believe me? Look at the 9th circuit, and Obama and friends expanded that one so they could pack it!

Unsustainable Population Increase

If that rate is sustained.............Republicans lose everything.......Period.....

Because Immigrants vote for the Dems...............we are being replaced which is exactly why they want Open Borders.

Chamber of Commerce owns both parties...........they want the cheap labor. another decade and it's quite possibly over politically.

I'm sure Trump would be much more entertaining being grilled than Hillary.

. . . and he could give the same defense as well. Russians? Fake News?

At this point, what difference does it make?

 

[Avatar4321]

I’m not worried about the Senate. We will easily gain seats.

I’m optimistic about the house but I’d like to see us keep the house with the liberty caucus in leadership pushing the agenda.

We can end this government shutdown nonsense. Actually get budgets.

Ensure the investigations into the “deep state” corruption continues.

Actually accomplish positive things to limit federal power

Sure they are, especially when democrats shoot over 50 people at one.

Oh, I really you're kidding. You don't really believe that, do you? If so, you need to broaden your mind and news sources.
