    I'm certainly older than you.

    You are too deluded to get the reference of 2010. That's a year after Obama pushed Obamacare on the people without ONE republican voting for it. And dems have been acting like they've been winning since then. You see when a party loses like they did in 2010, then its time for self-examination, which never happened even after losing to Trump. They obviously are hoping they can trash Trump for a win but that isn't going to happen. Dems are creating more Trump supporters and/or anti-democrats. Pass the word because just like dems, I'm sure you don't have a clue what I'm talking about.

    As far as the forum, I have my own server and could start my own forum if I was inclined to. There's no reason for me to waste my money here. While YOU might be "using" their services, I am contributing to the forum. Besides, it's none of your damn business.

    Yet you continue to use the services here and won't even bet $25 on something you're sure you'd win because you'd be wasting the money here?

    Face it, you're admitting you use the services here, have the assets to start your own forum but won't, yet you won't bet $25 on something you are positive you'd win. Are you sure you're older than me? If so, maybe I just have better morals.

    Non-issue? Dude, first, there isn't going to be any coup. Not without the military at least and that's not going to happen so the conspiracy theory nutjobs need to take a breath.

    Second, talk is cheap. People are free to come onto this forum, mooch off of it and post whatever blather they want no matter how ridiculous, how nuts or how partisan. It's not their right, because this is a private forum owned and paid for by others, but it's within the rules to post as I described.

    Third, I make bet offers for two reasons - one is to point out talk is cheap and to see who has the stones to back up their words with a few dollars. A second reason is to generate money and interest to support the forum. You don't want to back up your words with a few dollars and, despite your frequent participation here, you refuse to help pay for the forum even if it's with a small bet I proposed. Fine. Your choice, but I consider that hypocritical.

    Lastly, the Republicans are going to take a beating next November and all the factless blather from anonymous tiger-blood-drinking loud-mouths won't change it. The only question is "How badly will they be beat? Will they lose the House?"

    Here's some more "factless blather" for you, from the mainstream media dated Oct 2, 2017. See attached jpg. Read the article if you dare.

    It's really awesome that you base your entire position on an MSM headline. LOL

    Talks is cheap, but you are free to blather on all you like. Meanwhile, the truth shall be revealed in November.

    https://www.270towin.com/2018-senate-election/

    https://ballotpedia.org/United_States_Congress_elections,_2018
    A total of 468 seats in the U.S. Congress (33 Senate seats and all 435 House seats) are up for election on November 6, 2018.

    Heading into the election, the Republican Party holds a 52-seat majority in the Senate. Democrats hold 46 seats, and the remaining two are held by independents who caucus with the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party is on the defensive in 2018, as they are left defending 25 seats (two of which are held by independents), while only eight seats up for election in 2018 are held by Republican incumbents. The Democratic Party is further weakened by having to defend seats in a number of states which supported Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton in 2016.

    Heading into the election, the Republican Party holds a majority of 241 seats to Democrats' 194 seats in the House. The Democratic Party is well-positioned to gain seats in the chamber in 2018, as the party of a newly elected president has historically lost seats in Congress in the following midterm election.

    Since 1934, the party of a newly elected president has suffered an average loss of 23 seats in the House in the following midterm. The party of a newly elected president has gained seats in the House in the following midterm only twice since then; Democrats gained nine seats in 1934 following Franklin D. Roosevelt's first presidential election in 1932, and Republicans gained eight seats in 2002 following George W. Bush's election to the presidency in 2000. Due to this trend, more House seats that are currently held by Republican incumbents are expected to be in play than in a normal congressional election.

    You obviously didn't read the Time Magazine article. I did.

    And now you are using future stat predictions to make your point. It's very doubtful the House will change much. Of the 33 senate seats, 23 or 24 are dems. They've already lost a couple over sexual harassment accusations, started by dems which snowballed out of dem control. That means only 10 or so are republican. It would indeed take a blowout to have any REAL influence on the current lack of power by dems, but in the BEST circumstance, it won't come close to bringing dems back to what they had BEFORE 2010. And since dems have no intention of changing now or anytime in the future, it is rational to believe dems will continue losing elections as they have SINCE 2010.

    The so called "average" seat loss of newly elected presidents is BASED UPON the losing party making a self-examination, then making appropriate changes. That never happened since 2010 and it didn't happen after losing to Trump either.

    Goodbye, power levels of 1929 for dems, say HELLO power levels of 1865 NEXT. HA! That is the crux of Time's article.

    It's really good to see you accepting MSM news.

    It is indeed rare for me, but I do pay attention when the MSM begins to agree with conservative news sources that knew this MANY months ago. HA!
