MIDTERMS 2018 Upbeat Trump Predicts Lots of Republicans Winning November 6 at Nevada Rally...
“I like where we stand in the election,” Trump told those gathered at the latest of his signature Make America Great Again rallies. “You know I think that blue wave is being rapidly shattered. All the Democrats want is power and they’ve got this blue wave deal going, but it’s not looking like a blue wave.”
He said, “I think Dean Heller is going to win here. I think Martha McSally, she was great last night, I think she’s going to win. I just visited the great state of Big Sky … and I’ll tell you what, they’re going to win. They’re going to win in Montana. We’re going to win all over.”
He also added, “I think we’re going to win in Indiana. I think we’re going to win with Josh, I think we’re going to win in Missouri. I think Rick Scott is going to win in the great state of Florida.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott has battled Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) to a dead heat, but acted decisively in preparing his state for the recent devastation left by Hurricane Michael. Similarly former Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) is in a dead heat against Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum (D).
And Adam Laxalt is the Republican candidate for governor in Nevada, who is in a tight race with Democrat Steve Sisolak, chairman of the Clark County Commission. Clark County is Nevada most populous county. Laxalt is the grandson of Sen. Paul Laxalt (R-Nev.).
The lengthy list of races in which he predicts GOP wins reflected Trump’s nearly non-stop pace of campaign rallies in recent weeks as he tries to boost Republican chances of maintaining majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives in 2019 and 2020.
The Elko speech also reflected Trump’s continuing theme of branding Democrats as the party of crime and...
