I predict Republicans will win.
Here in Texas I personally witness many, many Conservatives who don't normally vote being motivated to get off the couch by AntiFa street violence, "no borders" Leftist rhetoric, and the insane, easily detectable lying about President Trump by the Mainstream Media.
I am extremely optimistic, but still crossing my fingers.I don't know what is going to happen in the midterm elections. Most of the news organizations are reporting about the many polls which say the Democrats will gain a majority in the house of representatives. What is less well known is that the early voting results tell a different story. According to Larry Schweikart, the data from early voting suggests the Republican's will retain a majority in the house.
Seriously David? Republicans and Democrats have a corner on the market of hypocrisy. Anyone who asserts one party is less hypocritical than the other is simply flaunting their ignorant bias.People just do not like hypocrisy.

To be honest, it seems to me that the Democrats have had a death wish in recent times. Politicians shouldn't appear shrill, and they need a certain level of consistency. I mean, if one of the Democratic candidates were to be accused of something sexual from back when they were at school, I wonder if they would instantly resign to let the matter be investigated - even if no complaint had been files with the police, and no charge made! People just do not like hypocrisy.
I have to wonder why they have been so stupid. I seriously wonder if someone (Soros?) is in control who lacks any political experience.

Well blaming both sides sounds very fair minded, but it covers up specific issues. I saidSeriously David? Republicans and Democrats have a corner on the market of hypocrisy. Anyone who asserts one party is less hypocritical than the other is simply flaunting their ignorant bias.
Come on man, you're better than that. ;)
The specific issue is whether we should have a version of #MeToo in which anyone can pop up decades after some supposed incident and trash someone's job and reputation, even though they did not report anything at the time, and nobody else remembers the incident, despite it having supposedly taken place at a party! That isn't justice, and you should stop and think how awful you would feel if that happened to you. If someone you barely remembered from school days, turned up and publicly denounced you after 30-odd years gap, and was actively encouraged to do so by one or other political party. I don't want that gross form of injustice to spread to the Republican party, or to any political parties here in Britain - were it to spread, democracy would become impossible.I mean, if one of the Democratic candidates were to be accused of something sexual from back when they were at school, I wonder if they would instantly resign to let the matter be investigated - even if no complaint had been files with the police, and no charge made!

This is actually makes my Conspiracy spidey-senses tingle.it seems to me that the Democrats have had a death wish in recent times.
Here is an article that explains why polls are often unreliable.

Professor Darren Beattie, Ph.D: More important, let me say a few words about polling and pundits. One thing about pundits and "experts" that readers have to understand is that they are not paid to make accurate predictions or give accurate analysis; they are paid to give predictions and analysis that advance a particular agenda, usually the agenda of some billionaire benefactor or corporate media platform. This is a powerful explanation because it accounts for how most of these people can be utter failures and somehow keep their jobs.
I think there could be a lot of truth in that. The UK Labour party lets all party members vote for leader, and they voted for Jeremy Corbyn. The problem is, of course, that the members of the party tend to be more extreme than the voters, and membership is cheap, so people can join just in order to cast a wrecking vote.Another theory is that there is very low participation rate in the primaries and only the most extreme leftists Democrats vote in them. The means the candidates are forced, over the years, to adopt more and more extreme positions in order to win the party nomination. The result of all those years of selecting for more and more extremist candidates has led to the current situation where they are alienating the moderates and seeming to commit political suicide.
Is it just that so many people in the media have done enough to be easily blackmailed?Why now? What is it about President Trump that terrifies the Wall Street-owned Media so intensely they decide this four year presidential term is worth a suicide mission?
Wall Street owned Corporate Media has decided that NOW is the time to burn up the Credibility they spent decades cultivating.

Trump won despite the best efforts of the FBI, CIA, DOJ, FISC Judges Democrats, establishment Republican never-Trumpers, Clintons, Bushes, Obamas, and the mainstream news media. No person could have done that. It was the people who did it. People who were fed up with establishment politicians who have been getting rich from policies that have impoverished many ordinary Americans.
Trump explained it during his inauguration speech where he stood in front of past presidents and both houses of congress and called them a bunch of crooks who ignored the well-being of the American people while the enriching themselves. His supporters, including me, loved it.

"Washington flourished – but the people did not share in its wealth."
"Politicians prospered – but the jobs left, and the factories closed."
"The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country."
"Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation’s Capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land."
"That all changes – starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you."
"It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America. "
"This is your day. This is your celebration. And this, the United States of America, is your country."
"What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people. January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again. "
"... For many decades, we’ve enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry; Subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military; We've defended other nation’s borders while refusing to defend our own;
"And spent trillions of dollars overseas while America's infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay. We’ve made other countries rich while the wealth, strength, and confidence of our country has disappeared over the horizon."
"One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about the millions upon millions of American workers left behind.
The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed across the entire world."
"... We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action – constantly complaining but never doing anything about it."
"Do not let anyone tell you it cannot be done. No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America."
This video of his campaign speeches is even more explicit.
Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you the American people.
The Washington establishment and the financial and media corporations that fund it exists for only one reason: to protect and enrich itself.
The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election.
For those who control the levers of power in Washington and for the global special interests they partner with, these people that don't have your good in mind, our campaign represents a true existential threat like they haven't seen before.
This is not simply another four-year election. This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that will determine whether or not we the people reclaim control over our government.
The political establishment that is trying to stop us is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals massive illegal immigration and economic and foreign policies that have bled our country dry.
The political establishment has brought about the destruction of our factories and our jobs as they flee to Mexico China and other countries all around the world.
It's a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth, and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities.
This this is a struggle for the survival of our nation and this will be our last chance to save it.
This election will determine whether we're a free nation or whether we have only the illusion of democracy but are in fact controlled by a small handful of global special interests rigging the system, and our system is rigged, this is reality.
You know it, they know it, I know it, and pretty much the whole world knows it.
The Clinton machine is at the center of this power structure.
We've seen this firsthand in the WikiLeaks documents in which Hillary Clinton meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of US sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers, her special interest friends, and her donors. Honestly she should be locked up.
The most powerful weapon deployed by the Clintons is the corporate media the press.
Let's be clear on one thing, the corporate media in our country is no longer involved in journalism. They're a political special interest no different than any lobbyist or other financial entity with a total political agenda and the agenda is not for you it's for themselves.
Anyone who challenges their control is deemed a sexist a racist a xenophobe.
They will lie lie lie, and then again they will do worse than that.
They will do whatever is necessary.
The Clintons are criminals remember that this is well document and the establishment that protects them has engaged in a massive cover-up of widespread criminal activity at the State Department and the Clinton Foundation in order to keep the Clintons in power.
They knew they would throw every lie they could at me and my family and my loved ones.
They knew they would stop at nothing to try to stop me.
Nevertheless I take all of these slings and arrows gladly for you.
I take them for our movement so that we can have our country back.
I knew this day would arrive.
It's only a question of when.
And I knew the American people would rise above it and vote for the future they deserve.
The only thing that can stop this corrupt machine is you.
The only force strong enough to save our country is us.
The only people brave enough to vote out this corrupt establishment is you the American people.
Our great civilization has come upon a moment of reckoning.
I didn't need to do this I built a great company and I had a wonderful life.
I could have enjoyed the fruits and benefit of years of successful business deals and businesses for myself my family instead of going through this absolute horror show of lies deceptions malicious attacks.
Who would have thought.
I'm doing it because this country has given me so much and I feel so strongly that it's my turn to give back to the country that I love.
I'm doing this for the people and for the movement and we will take back this country for you and we will make America great again.
Is it just that so many people in the media have done enough to be easily blackmailed?
