In February the Trump Tax Cuts will show up in people's paychecks. At that point-it will be impossible for even CNN and MSNBC talking heads to lie and distort the truth. People see extra money in their paychecks and KNOW, once and for all, who has been lying to them for months. The "tax increase" that Dems told them about ends up putting money in their pockets. They also will know that NOT ONE Democrat voted to give them a break. Even more-they will learn that this tax relief is temporary, thanks to the fact that 60 votes were required in the Senate to make it permanent-and not one Democrat voted to give the middle class a break. In just a few years the Democrats will be responsible for one of the largest tax increases in history.

So-what do you think? Will the GOP take 60 seats in the Senate, making the Democrat party even more irrelevant? How many seats will Dims lose in the House? How many governorships?

On a related note-how much more will CNN and BSNBC viewership drop once their lies are so blatantly revealed?

Depends whether or not the GOP gets on board with the President's polices. If not, the GOP is done.

Additionally, if Mueller's investigation discovers a unpaid Trump parking ticket from 1978.....

Don't hold your breath. It looks to be going the other way.


Yes, I know that there are many people like you, solely focused on money, especially the quick money. But there are millions of us that recognize how Trump embarrasses us, shames us, and endangers us - with his lies, his bullying, his total lack of understanding or compassion, his eternal self-promotion. And we hope to turn things around and get back to some version of normal in America.

Economists project 3.5% or lower unemployment by election. Add in an extra $2k for the typical professional (an above average demographic for voters who show in mid-terms), and I expect GOP will add 1-2 dozen House seats.

Senate map rocks, so GOP should add 5 there. 4 Dems run where Trump won easily, and where he is now polling between 50 and 60% popularity.

You must remember, there are millions of us that remember how Obama embarrassed us, shamed us, endangered us, supported terrorism, imported violent savages, sacrificed American citizens for everyone else on earth - with his lies, his bullying, his total lack of understanding or compassion, his eternal self-promotion, his attacks on police, his dividing this country with identity politics, his racism. And we are happy that things turned around to get back to some version of normal in America.

Than you are the only one outside the RNC that believes that.

Current polls suggest a 13% average generic ballot average for democrats over republicans. The election is only a little over ten months away. Sure, things can always change. However, there is always a midterm advantage for the party out of power.

Also, things didn't go very well for the GOP in Virginia, New Jersey, or Alabama in the last few months.

Predict all you want. The odds are way against you.

Would those be the same polling agencies that said Hillary had a 99% chance of winning the election?
