/mtg/ MIDTERMS GENERAL

Don't listen to shills who say that the midterms are a definite loss or a definite win.  Everything is up in the air.  Midterms are low-turnout affairs compared to Presidential elections, and odds are many important races will come down to just a few thousand votes.

"Hurr durr the republicans are cucks who cares if they lose"  Fuck that.  Trump is /ourguy/ now and we can't let him get cut off at the knees.  If the Dems take the House the first thing they'll do is put Adam Schiff in charge of the Intel Committee so he can kill the investigation into Comey/Strzok and how the FBI started the Russia witch hunt in the first place. The next two years will be nothing but impeachment hearings, bullshit investigations and subpoenas, and contempt of congress votes.  They will block every piece of legislation he wants.  If the GOP holds the house, open borders fanatic Paul Ryan will be gone and they'll have a chance to get some real immigration legislation through.
