What are the Republicans going to lose this election?

Last edited Sun Jun 19, 2016, 09:42 PM - Edit history (1)

I think they will lose the senate almost defiantly. The house is still up in the air. I just heard Speaker Ryan's interview with Chuck Todd, I never seen someone as more rattled then he was. The same talking points he always using about uniting the party and he admitted the Republican party is divided with Drump running them into the ground.

The Supreme Court they will also lose for a generation, when Hillary is elected President. The question also is how much will Hillary win by in the electoral college.

Super majority on the Senate will give us the opportunity to get liberal judges on SC and some of the lower courts.

Bernie's convention leverage drains away. The more Trump self destructs the less Hillary needs Bernie.

They aren't going anywhere near Trump and they show up at the polls unlike Millennials. It doesn't make any sense to tact left now. Time to go get middle America!

...in the neighborhood of 400 EVs, perhaps more. Popular vote wise, I expect a low double digits or high single digits margin!

PEACE!

Assuming the nominee is still Trump.

I predict a 10-15% popular vote victory. We take the Senate. We gain 20-30 seats in the house. I believe 30 seats would give us the majority by 1.

We can make some serious inroads though.

We will still have to work. Nothing is guaranteed.
