Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Let's do our own analysis.

Currently the senate is 51R/49D.

Lets only look at seats that may flip:

AZ seems likely to go from R to D (Jeff Flake's seat. Ironically Trump driving him out may cost Republicans a seat)

NV could go from R to D

TN has a shot to go from R to D

TX can go R to D (Cruz v Beto)

ND is looking to go D to R (Heitkamp has slipped)

MO could go D to R (McCaskill is the incumbent D in that red state)

IN could go D to R

FL could go D to R

MT could go D to R

WV D Manchin is in a red state

Republicans have more chances with a number of Dems in states that Trump won. I can add MI, WI, OH and PA to that.

So if the Dems do get control after this election, it would be a monumental loss for Trump and his Republicans.

Democrats will still probably win 70% of the senate elections - but that won't do as they defend 26 seats to 9.

The senate is likely to end up 53-47 in favor of Republicans, and could be as bad as 54-46.

The Dems are currently likely to pickup about 25 seats in the House, which gives them a very slim majority.

Impeachment steps with such a small House majority, which will include some Democrats in Republican areas, would be a disaster for the Dems. The pendulum would swing right back to the Republicans. America wants adults running Congress and actually legislating, not children fighting over having their feelings hurt.

Republicans and Trump have been suckered into believing that troops are being sent to Texas in response to the migrant caravan. But the reality is that Trump has no control over the Deep State military. This is actually a federal government takeover of Texas, designed to take guns from law-abiding Americans and implement total population control. Empty Walmart stores will likely be converted into FEMA processing camps, just as they were designed to be used before the lid was blown off operation Jade Helm. Texas sovereignty MUST be protected. NO FEDERAL JACKBOOTS IN OUR STATE!!

Then how was Trump elected?

Ha! Not sure why you hope that is true about me, but of course it is not. Maybe you should work on bettering yourself or your situation instead of hopefully wishing that others aren't doing well. You have control over the former, but not the latter. Put yourself in control, brother...don't base your self-worth on what I do. I am just a man...a very smart and handsome man with HUGE biceps, but a just a man nonetheless.

Remember, just because you want something to be true doesn't make it true.

Critical thinking is tough on aging brains.

apparently the right wing hit machine is swinging into place, knowing that Mueller is about to indict more Republicans, after midterms.

word is that a scandal featuring Mueller will break on Thursday.

The goal, of course, is to discredit mueller in advance, so when he shows the trump family to be a crime syndicate, the magas will shrug and say 'hey, everyone is a criminal so I don't care. '

To close this issue, it’s already been established that daddy Trump was still giving him an annual multi-million allowance well into his 40s

Due to the nature of the Senate seats up for grab, you could be right, though I expect you are too hopeful there with the numbers. I do expect the Senate to stay a Republican majority.

You are crazily hopeful though at the House. The Democrats will take the House as you said, but it will not be a slim majority. It's going to be decently big...at least not a slim majority.

The biggest mistake the Democrats can make after the election is to begin impeachment proceedings before they get the Mueller report. They have set themselves up to do so with the suit filed against the Trump Campaign by the DNC, but they would be wise to wait until we see what Republican Mueller has to say.

If the biggest charge is Obstruction of Justice (there will be many other charges including conspiracy), they will go ahead with the process, and he WILL be impeached by the House.

There are two months between the election and when the new Congress starts.

Mueller has avoided making news in the run-up to the election.

But he can release indictments and reports right after the election.

Manafort and Flynn are still waiting to be sentenced.

Cohen's legal issues have not been resolved yet and the directly implicate Trump.

There are already charges waiting for Trump that the Republicans didn't want to pursue.

Realistically, impeachment proceedings wouldn't start until February.

Yep...passing on money illegally to DJT through shell company All County Building Supply & Maintenance.

Grifters, thieves, liars...all of them.

I'm sure Tiffany is glad Donald doesn't particularly like her.

Funny video of all the media Flagpoling over the last couple years. The walls are closing in!

A majority would be nice, but it's unlikely that Dems take the senate this time around.

My interest is in each individual race. The term is 6 years. In the senate, it's all about the long game.

If Dems just keep it at 51R-49D, I'll be happy. Every seat we win this time is one we don't need to pick up to take control in 2020.

the mueller thing is out in the wild now - hard to understand exactly, but has to do with a sexual assault hoax against him

Where in the enabling media outlets do you read about the defense industry strangle hold on the two party system?

FBI called to investigate if GOP operatives paid women to make up sexual misconduct stories about Muellerhttps://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/10/special-counsel-refers-scheme-targeting-mueller-to-fbi/574411/

These morons couldn't fvck a rat on roofies. The wheels have totally come off this story.

Reporters at The Hill get contacted by a woman who says she was offered money in exchange for accusing Mueller of being a sexual assaulter. She gave them a phone number that had been given to her by her mystery contact. When they contacted it, they received a threat in response to "drop this." They also get a call from a guy who claims he is with a company called "Surefire Intelligence" who also threatened them and admitted to dealing with this same woman. This was all reported to the special counsel.

Jack Burkman (Republican lobbyist/talk radio personality) then tweets out that he'll be revealing Robert Mueller's "sexual assault victims" on Thursday. He tells the Hill that he is bringing these women to light by coordinating with an agency called SureFire Intelligence, which is actually run by ... Jacob Wohl, an alt-right personality and former teenage wunderkind in securities fraud. Wohl claims to have no knowledge of this company, but the registration record for it is under Jacob Wohl's name and the agency's "official phone number" redirects to a voicemail box registered to Jacob's mommy. LOL!

In other words, we have two stupid Republican operatives attempting to bribe women into making false accusations in an effort to undermine an ongoing FBI investigation.

Lock them up! Lock them up!

All this shows is that even though Trump should have been impeached 100 different times by now, the media keeps pretending like there are reasonable Republicans who will be fed up with his latest national humiliation and hold him to account. But there aren't any! Time to stop playing pretend. Time to start calling a spade a spade and stop giving this so-called presidency's enablers equal opportunity to pitch their deceit to the American public on their airwaves without calling them on their lies, as our mainstream outlets are wont to do. You either support our democracy and its institutions or you don't, and the GOP has made it abundantly clear that it does not.

I agree with the timing of all of that other than we don't know for sure when Mueller will release his report. It is UNLIKELY for a variety of reasons that the House will start impeachment proceedings until after his report has been delivered, and I really hope they don't. February is fine with me as long as the report has been delivered (and of course shows things he has done to bring on such proceedings).
