Publicly, the talk is of retaining control of the House. Privately, theyre getting ready for Democratic-led investigations.

In recent months, President Trump has insisted that a red wave is coming this November and that Republicans would hold onto, and even expand, their majorities in the House and the Senate.
But as the election has gotten closer, the presidents outlook has increasingly soured, and that optimism he once exhibited from the campaign trail has been replaced by tangible fear over what a Democratic House next year might mean to his administration and inner circle.
Hes definitely more spooked than he was before, a senior West Wing official told The Daily Beast. Several of us are expecting to spend more time [testifying] on the Hill soon.
In public, Trump world is still arguing that Republicans will hold on to control of the House, with the president triumphantly tweeting taunts at the media for failing to acknowledge just how big an impact he is having in motivating voters.
He thinks its going to be close Weve all believed its going to be close, Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, told The Daily Beast on Tuesday. Giuliani serves as a lead Trump attorney for the Russia probe, but he has also advised Trump on political matters. Trump, he said, thinks Republicans are going to win but that the president has acknowledged that its much closer than people realize.

was 2012 when Karl Rove was denying Obama won Ohio right on TV and had a meltdown.
I wish we could see trump's face when the dust clears late Nov6th/Nov7th and he realizes his next 2 years will be hell...he can rant all he wants, but we are coming for him and his criminal family
