from Rush Limbaugh,
10/19/18:

HANNITY: If I put you on the spot, prediction?

RUSH: We hold the House and we increase the Senate, because I think that’s justice. I think that’s just. I think the Democrat Party deserves to lose in the single biggest landslide defeat in my lifetime —

HANNITY: And you…?

RUSH: — because of the actions they’ve taken just in the last month.

RUSH: That bite lit up the Fox News Channel today. Our first stop is America’s Newsroom. Bill Hemmer. Today, and I think it’s Julie Banderas co-host that they’re talking to, famed Republican strategerist Ed Rollins about my comment.

HEMMER: Dems deserve to lose —

ROLLINS: Well, he’s —

ROLLINS: He’s correct on that front. (laughter) He’s half right on the other front. I think we’ll add some Senate seats. I think the House is very, very much in jeopardy.

HEMMER: So you are not buying into…?

ROLLINS: No, there are —

HEMMER: Governor Sununu said they’d hold it. Rush Limbaugh said they’d hold it.

ROLLINS: They don’t count votes like I do. I mean, I ran the congressional committee. I’ve been doing it a long time. There are 15 seats that are now gone. Nine of those are the open seats. There’s another 25 to 30 that are our seats that are in play, there’s only about two or three Democrat seats that are in play. We’re totally on the defense. Everything has to go our way to basically break even.

RUSH: Let me run through that. This is the stuff… I’m going to be honest with you. I do not get into this stuff. This is wonk stuff. And, to me, this is totally absent any… What’s the word… Any, any personality or… This is just raw numbers based on data that is the result of polling. I know as well as anybody that polling sometimes is right. Sometimes it’s wrong, and I just, like I said in the bite, I’m just suspicious of polling units.
