2018 Mid-Term Elections

1) why do the Democrats continually under-vote given their so-called registered numbers edge ? Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

They just can't wrap their heads around THEY HAD a fucked up candidate.
Interesting. I had a reply to Wako, but it's not showing up..
The constant attack on Trump and Trump supporters has silenced many, but that has only made them more pissed and scared about the Democrats agenda. Many Republicans voted for Trump mainly for Judicial Picks and the Supreme Court picks. The Democrats lined up against this Supreme Court nominee before a name was even released. The hearings proved that Democrats couldn't even have a slight bit of decorum. I could respect them wanting to adjourn the hearings, but they couldn't even let the introductions get out of the way first.


I am sure the Kavanaugh hearings have fired up many to get out and support Trump. Will it be enough for Republicans to hold the House and Senate? I sure hope so.

This election is OVER. Republicans should start focusing on 2020. Unless a bomb hits between now and November 8th there is no way Trump can overcome the lead that Clinton has in the polls. For those of you who are still not believing the polls . . . we'll see in a handful of days how accurate they are.
You did bring up 2016, didn't you?

I believe the Kavanaugh debacle will make a big difference in the midterms. Especially if Trump continues his online antics.

He had been quite sedate on the matter until yesterday.

Thank the mocking, the insults ... women across this nation will be more pissed than any other segment of the voting population.

I think that most people understood that Hillary Clinton was a flawed candidate. Democrats had 8 years while Obama was in office to come up with a viable candidate and failed to do so.

You are part of the problem and should refrain from voting in the election in order to increase the relative importance of women's votes.

Can you cite a post in which you went out on a limb and picked Trump to win in 2016? How about a prediction on the 2018 mid-term elections?

Damn you finally got something right, unfortunately for you not in the way intended. This BK thing is a debacle that will surely piss off women and men across the country. They will be pissed that the fucking skank Dr. Ford and the democrat accomplices have made this an obvious delay tactic with absolutely zero merit. The liberal snowflakes will be crying again when the blue wave fails to materialize. They won't pickup the house or the senate. Who will they blame this time? The Russia card has been played and didn't work. Who will it be?
Yes Yussup, it has pissed off people but like Budman said - not in the way you think. There are millions of intelligent people that can see thru this shame. This could happen to anybody and should scare the shit out of you. Just parents alone who have little boys are very afraid for them and they should be. Accusations can ruin a person's life.

You better buckle up - you are in for a very rough ride.

If you’re intentionally misspelling my handle, please stop.

If not, I respectfully ask you correct your error.

That said, I’ve had lots of bumpy rides in this country. Hopefully the nation will survive this one. I would also hope that when things work out for the better that the loyalists can handle it as well.

Further I don’t ascribe to the racist theories that others have bandied about in this forum for the past few years and never will.

Speedy, if you’re so convinced by the polls are you going to take my offer as I stated in post #12 in this thread?

The best I could hope for would be a push -- Democrats win the House and Republicans hold the Senate. Meanwhile you are almost certainly guaranteed a push.

And no, I don't want to bet solely on the House. To be honest, I enjoy civil discussions with others on politics but in the end, if Republicans maintain control of the House it is of little consequence to me.
