    Sorry if you got that impression. Hell, he's only offering an opinion here. I just find it funny, Trump's former loyal-to-the-death fixer now out recommending that everyone vote against him. You don't have to trust him in the least to enjoy that.

    I find joy in the fact that one day we will have a Washington DC that isn't full of the liars that are currently there, and have been for decades.

    Well I may not find joy in it yet, but I have hope I will feel that joy sometime.

    Depending on who you listen to, everyone in DC is terrible. Everyone, no matter how honest, has enemies. Everyone gets smeared and accused whatever their opponents want Joe Public to believe about them.

    Trump has gone from "Lying Ted" to endorsing the sleazy bastard. That's politics. Short of nuking the whole site from orbit, I don't see how it is about to change.

    You may not believe me when I say this, but I would be 100% in favor of firing everyone in washington. Super PACs...Donors...it's all BS.

    The problem is, that will never happen so we have to vote for what's in front of us.

    14 seats is still a lot. If many of the Republicans that normally ignore the mid terms get out and vote and we continue to see progress for the Republicans with the #WalkAway movement and African Americans it may be a lot closer than the left wingers think it will be.

    How can the right lose when they keep offering up such stellar candidates?

    I dunno. I don't tend to vote for major party candidates. If others did as I do, we wouldn't have a two-party system. Funny how it all works.

    If we could get fresh blood in congress, I think it would be a good thing. Term limits would help produce new ideas, new leadership. I think that's the first step to steering away from R and D.

    Not really.

    Going back to the 1930's there are usually far more than 14 seats that flip.

    A lot more.

    14 is at the low end of the scale compared to the average.
