From tMB:
I am friends with a multi-term US congressman. Tonight we talked at length over a cigar and a couple glasses of whiskey. I have a few tidbits that fit in this thread and a few other tidbits I will share as they might be interesting to a few of you. I am not going to give his name, but I promise you this is all true and from an hour ago.
Election Stuff:
1. The R party thinks the Senate is a lock and they will win 51-53 seats.
2. They think the Senate race in Maryland is up for grabs and feel good about maybe sneaking that one out.
3. They think the House will be close. They have 203 seats they think are locks with 40 races toss ups. 13 of those 40 races are currently held by an R.
4. The Presidential election they feel good about, but it is far from a lock he said. It really just depends on which side has the enthusiasm gap to get people to turn out election day.
5. They think New Hampshire is in play with 45% or better odds.
Other stuff (Mostly under the assumption Trump wins and they possibly control all three branches):
1. They talk of mass deportation if Trump takes over, but realize that will hard if not impossible to pull off. The focus will be on drying up the freebies. No more welfare cards, free phones, free rent, free plane rides etc. Take away the free stuff and many will leave on their own.
2. Remain in Mexico will return
3. They will go after chain migration.
4. They will end all direct flights for illegals from Haiti, Cuba etc.
5. Some countries in South Ameria are saying they will refuse to take their citizens back from the US that came here illegally. They will threaten them with ending all foriegn aid to that country in the future if they do not take their own citizens back.
6. They are going to massively try and cut spending. Musk is saying he wants a 2T per year cut. He is not sure that is the number, but it will be big.
7. They realize some states like CA will try and offer illegals all the free stuff the US government will take away. They are actually hoping for this. Smile as the blue states take all of the illegals they want to take and dry up the freebies on the rest of them and encourage them to leave.
8. They will build a wall.
If I think of more later I will add them. We also discussed fantasy football and normal guy stuff like that, but I thought some of the political stuff would be of interest to a few of you and does partially fit into this thread. It was not worth starting a new thread over, so I am dropping it here.
