Chuck Todd of NBC: &#8220;The worst may be yet to come with Trump. They may be staring at a total collapse of the party.&#8221; We just saw that headline yesterday! At TheHill.com. The Republican House is in collapse! That\u2019s the story that had the headline that if you didn\u2019t know how to read it, you would think that 209 House seats are all of a sudden switching to the Democrat side! And that story predicted&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t predict; it said we are in the midst of a Republican collapse in the House! They do not change. Everything is so formulaic. They are so predictable and predictably wrong. They\u2019re doing it all over again, and they\u2019re doing it on the same basis, that everybody hates Trump. That whereas in 2016 it\u2019s impossible, people are not gonna vote for this guy.<\/p>\n<p>That has become people regret voting for this guy. They can\u2019t believe they voted for this guy and they can\u2019t wait to show up and apologize to America for voting for this guy; so they\u2019re gonna do the only thing they can do and vote Democrat. They were wrong in 2016, some of them. As we mentioned earlier, this Bud Budowksy is warning that there\u2019s a red alert out there, Democrats may not be looking at a red wave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: They do not change.
