Newt Gingrich predicts republican wave in 2018

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Remember when Newt Gingrich managed to lose seats for his party in the 1998 midterm year when democrats were in the white house? He managed to do the impossible.

If anyone else can do that, it’s probably Pelosi.

Democrats will have a net gain in the house in 2018 regardless of Pelosi. Of course, she could easily make it a small gain instead of a big gain.

Liberals who underestimate Newt Gingrich still don't realize why Democrats lost 1994, 2004, 2010, 2014, and 2016.

Democrats should not get too overconfident. The 2018 map favors Republicans because of the conservative lean of these states and the fact that older, whiter, wealthier people turn out more than younger, minority, poorer people.

2018 is a Lean D year, but anything could happen from now and the week of Nov. 4, 2018.

You forgot 1998, 2000, and 2002, which were also years Democrats suffered classic wipeouts. Unfortunately in most elections since 1980 (The year Ronald Reagan Destroyed America) Democrats have been blowing it badly with the exception of when Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were on the ballot (what's funny is that before 1980 neither of them would have been considered real Democrats) or in 2006 after little Bush let his Saudi buddies murder over 3000 innocent Americans so he could invade Afghanistan and Iraq which would lead to the deaths of around 6000 American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi and Afghan civilians, so that should tell you what Republicans have to do in order for the majority of bigoted White Americans to suck it up and put Democrats back in charge of the US government.

This is the same guy who wanted to put a colony on the moon, so it doesn't shock me he would say something like this.

Yeah not sure what he's even talking about there: Dems gained seats in the house and held even in the senate in 1998 despite the six year itch, and gained 4 senate seats in 2000, so even if they came up somewhat short of expectations in those years, they were hardly "wipeouts". Neither was 2002 really, because even though Dems lost seats, they managed to defend several in unfavorable terrain, and the governor's races that year were really just musical chairs.
