Rush Limbaugh Predicts GOP Will Hold House and Senate in Hannity Interview
“The Democrat Party deserves to lose in the single biggest landslide defeat in my lifetime just for the actions they’ve taken in the last month.”
FOX News host Sean Hannity traveled to Florida this week for an interview with talk radio king Rush Limbaugh at his studio. They discussed a variety of topics but the 2018 midterm elections were the focus. Rush is optimistic about the GOP’s chances.
From the FOX News Insider:
Limbaugh to Hannity: I Don’t Trust Polls, GOP Will Hold House, Increase Senate Majority
Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh told Sean Hannity that he does not trust mainstream polls and believes the Republicans will be victorious in the midterm elections.
In an interview set to air Thursday night on Fox News Channel, Limbaugh predicted the GOP will keep control of the House and increase its Senate majority.
“That’s justice. The Democrat Party deserves to lose in the single biggest landslide defeat in my lifetime just for the actions they’ve taken in the last month,” he said, referring to the allegations leveled against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Watch the clip below:
Rush says that some people on the left have been gripped by a form of mental illness which has essentially been politicized by the Democrats. He says what you may have heard lots of people saying lately, which is that we don’t want people winning elections based on mobs and violence. That segment makes up the first four minutes of this video:
In that clip, Rush mentions a piece by Jim Geraghty of National Review. Here’s an excerpt:
The more time I spend covering politics, the more I’m convinced that a significant chunk of grassroots political activists aren’t really arguing about politics at all. These folks are actually grappling with personal psychological issues and projecting it onto the world of politics. Every problem they had with a parent is projected onto authority figures. Every religious person who ever scolded them or made them feel guilty becomes the embodiment of organized religion and demonstrates its menace.
Rush also suggested that many people in the media are part of the effort to get Democrats elected and that they hate Trump because he has taken away power they used to have to shape the narrative and set the agenda.
This clip is cued to start at the 4:16 mark, just press play:
There’s a reason why Rush has been at the top of talk radio all these years. His analysis is so spot on. Let’s hope his predictions about November are as well.

In the last couple of elections, the polls have been extraordinarily wrong to the point that suggests (a nice word) that they are now being used as a tool of voter suppression.
Personally, I recall feeling depressed going into the 2016 election till I finally said to myself … “Screw it, I’m going to do my part and leave it at the ballot box.” You can imagine my surprise when I used the NYTimes tracking tool to see that my state, Pennsylvania was tied and most of the uncounted votes were in red districts.
This election will tell us whether troubled nihilists and illegally imported voters are enough to give the Socialist Democrat Party a House majority.
I hope he is right, but hatred which is on a personal level with the left these days, is a powerful motivator.
I do think what the left did was disgusting, it showed their morally bankrupt politics in their quest for power. It should not be rewarded by giving them any further power.
God help this country if the left do gain the House, I’m not sure we would avoid Civil war if they do.
If it were not for the court enforced redistricting I would say that the GOP would easily keep the House. Other than that, I say they will still probably keep it, but it will be close.
Keep in mind several things. The party in power losing seats skews heavily towards Dems. They lose a lot more when in power then GOP.
twice as much. Most notably 1994 and 2010. I suspect that is mainly the effect of their presidential candidates so baldly lying that they basically get called on it. Trump seems to be just the opposite. He may not keep all his promises, but you get the feeling that he is genuinely trying to keep them all.
Also there is a good reason for GOP voting people to lie to pollsters.Namely that you do not know who you are talking to, and you may suddenly wind up with a bunch of people “in your face”.
I also think polling is now very suspect. First of all I believe the echo chamber stuff, that they are creating their own biases which they cannot dispel. Second that polls are being manipulated to give false impressions, not a lot but enough to be effective.
That being said, I suspect the Senate will be all least 54 GOP at the end and probably 56. The House I’m cautiously optimistic, and feeling a bit better then I did for Trump.
One thing for sure, the Kavanaugh hearings did the one thing that Dems wanted the least. To nationalize the elections.
Herrara and McMorris-Rogers in Washington are both in tight races.
McMorris is pretty senior and that district has been strong for her until now. That loss would be unsettling.
Herrara had flipped that seat from blue to red during Obama.
Hopefully the Kavanaugh effect weighs heavily- the local news which won’t print anything but negative for either has been quiet, and I think they are hoping for GOP voters to be apathetic and to not be hyping the impeachment or any nonsense that would come from flipping the house.
Simply voting will not be enough, this go-around. The liberal/Progressives, including Democrats, have declared war on the rest of the nation. And, all is fair in war. There will be NO limits that they will not honor in their quest to regain control of this country. This year we will see the most horrendous instances of Democrat vote and voter fraud ever. If it looks as though a Democrat will lose, look for ballots, most of which will be cast for the Dem to be “found” in car trunks, under desks in Democrat controlled supervisor of elections offices and even in broom closets at the local high school. Look for oversees ballots, from military personnel, to “arrive late” or be “lost” in the mail. Look for voter intimidation, of non-Democrat voters, at the polls. Look for a huge number of “provisional ballots” being cast, which will somehow miraculously be accepted for Democrat candidates. But, it will not stop with the election.
If the Dems fail to achieve their goals, at the polls, look for not only a continuation of the violent tactics currently on display, by their minions, but for an increase. There will be a return to the anarchistic revolutionary tactics of the late 1960s and early 1970s [think Weathermen and Symbionese Liberation Army] as well as violent “racial justice” movements. This might just destroy this country. After all, Liberal/Progressives have always been oligarchical totalitarians. The collapse of this nation would give them an opportunity to rebuild it as such.
If the Dems achieve their goals, then the freedom-loving portion of this nation will be placed in the position of having to decide whether to take up arms in defense of the nation and THEIR interests. This November could well be THE tipping point into armed civil war. Not a pleasant thought.
I’m sure he’s right.
He’s unquestionably right about the polls. This is a mathematical certainty. I’ve said why before and won’t do it again, for risk of causing headaches.
I agree about the R’s retaining both Houses, and gaining a bit in the Senate. This isn’t a mathematical certainty, but I’m about as confident as I was about President Trump’s win two years ago—i.e., very.
The exact reason for the Left’s descent into outright madness is interesting enough, but not really important. What is important is saving the Republic from destruction by barbarians foreign and domestic. To that end, the most urgent job before Congress is attacking rampant voter fraud in Federal elections. Of course Congressional Republicans have had two years, and done nothing. Forget the perverted Press, forget the mind-control school curricula, forget the unending race-baiting—whenever D’rats fake their way into office, all these things will get worse, far worse, and very rapidly. The D’rats have decayed to the point where some of them are openly saying that their beloved Blue Wave depends on illegal voting. They’re so confident they’ll get away with it (again!) that they don’t even hide it any more.
So, why don’t the R’s do something while they have a chance? Perhaps because they’re cowed by the constant, non-stop assaults of outright irrationality the Left has “normalized”. Trying to do anything in Congress must feel like a scene from the original Night of the Living Dead—everywhere you turn, there are more crazed zombies—zombies with dead insides, forming walls of teeth and fingernails, tossing wild irrationality and blood-lust everywhere. I can see where it would get a bit disheartening. But the R’s have a job to do, and it would be nice if they actually did it.
America has always been a fair nation in all respects. We give more than any other nation in times of natural disasters. We allow more illegal immigrants into our country than any other. Our justice system is innocent until proven guilty. I think because of this inherent basic nature of our people that the Dem mob rule agenda will not prevail in the upcoming election. I think that many moderates and independents who may not have been motivated to bother to vote this time are now feeling the insanity of the left and will vote out of disgust. The Kavanaugh hearing was enough to make any fair-minded person ill. I too believe that the R’s will keep the House and gain 4 seats in the Senate.
Senate: 55 GOP, 45 Dems
House: 223 GOP, 212 Dems
the only question in my mind after listening to that is: who is qualified to succeed Trump as POTUS in 2024? Walker? Cruz?
Pence has to be the front runner. I’d still rather keep Cruz in the Senate. More than likely it’ll be somebody that nobody’s even talking about now.
Pence will be the front-runner in 2020 if he wants to run. The RINO establishment will try to woo him over or will run a candidate (or a multitude of candidates) against him.
I’ve said for many years that most public polling is published to push agenda, not reveal accurate insight.
This particularly holds true during high stakes political campaigns. I think internal polling is a more accurate gauge, but that is rarely made pubic.
For the most part, echo chambers and bias confirmation abounds.
It’s why the Orcs for Hillary mob went into nuclear meltdown when Trump won in 2016. They had so much sunshine pumped up their squeek holes by the main stream propagandists about Hillary’s fait accompli that their collective heads exploded upon Trump’s victory.
The embers still smolder today and erupt at the slightest trigger. It’s a vocal, violent, but small mob, yet they get all the press.
I believe that publicity skews polls leftward, but translating that into voters is another matter.
completely agree with all posted above. Rarely happens.
Fraud will be rampant, but there is a bit of a damper as they no longer can count on Holder if they bring bats to the voting booths. The lines for Trump are all people who will be voting Republican; not for the Republicans, but for Trump.
I predict a good ol’ fashion stomping. Du
You can say that again. And again.

I predict a good ol’ fashion American stomping comin’ on. Dems with their open borders/abolish ICE, Christine Ford “Believe The Women” even though I lied about flying, contacting the FBI, my second door, fear of polygraphs and every other word out of my mouth laid bare for all Americans to see just how low the Dems are willing to go.
It’s a done deal.
Don’t underestimate the Democrat’s slimy tactics.
I feel like I know what is going to happen. Mueller has already announced he’s going to ‘finish’ the investigation and provide a report after the election.
Democrats are going to produce a ‘leaked report’ that claims all the worst BS they’ve been slinging over the last year is true, and that Mueller is going to indict Trump for tax fraud, rape, and giving Putin a sweaty handjob.
Mueller is going to play coy and ‘refuse to comment on an ongoing investigation’.
And of course AFTER the election its going to be revealed as bullshit.
If you listen closely you can hear car trunks being stuffed with ballots to be “found” in case the worse should happen in places where Dems are “supposed” to win.
I hate giving my predictions because I am really bad at prognostication. But here we go – Dems will gain seats in the House but not a majority (+10). They will lose seats in the Senate and the GOP will walk away with 54 (at a minimum).
My basis – All of the noise from the Left and the media (same thing) comes from people who will never not vote D. It’s like the Senators on the Judiciary Committee that said 100% they would never vote for Judge K back in July when he was announced. Everything else in the proceedings was just noise for the faithful. To everyone else it was a good reason not to vote for a party that would do something like that to anyone.
They are already ginning up a “Russia” excuse in the event they don’t get their way. Some obscure woman has been charged with saying things on-line Democrats don’t like.
SEE!! SEE!!! They’re at it again!!!!
