Newt Gingrich Predicts A ‘Great Political Surprise’ For 2018!

The new year is almost here, and as much as I hate to think of the new year in terms of politics, I do. Midterms. They’re here, and they cannot be ignored.

For quite some time, left-leaning political pundits have been predicting a YUUUUGE year for Democrats. This is their chance to #resist and show how much they hate President Trump. This is their chance for their voices to be heard! This is their chance to strip Republicans of their majority!

Keep in mind, lefties don’t have anything to back that up with. They just feeeeeeeel that way. But if you recall, they also felt like Hillary Clinton would win in a landslide victory. How did that go again?

Currently, Democrats are attempting to use the Alabama Senate race as proof that they’re on to something. See? A Democrat WON! Uh, sure. Except they left the whole part out about how the media crucified Roy Moore, and he proved to completely SUCK at defending himself. And even with that, the race was STILL ridiculously close. So I wouldn’t exactly use that as a shining example, Dems. Just sayin’.

That brings me to Newt Gingrich. He recently wrote an op-ed for Fox News titled, “Get ready for the great political surprise of 2018.”

The great political surprise?

The great political surprise of 2018 will be the size of the Republican victory.

Now THAT’S what I like to hear!

Gingrich goes on to point out that the media elite have a clear agenda, and they’re constantly blinded by hate. Therefore, their political predictions can’t exactly be trusted.

As I listened to the end of the year “analysts,” I was struck by how little they know, how little they have questioned their own mistakes, and how mutually reinforcing their false information has been.

These are not analysts. These are liberal propagandists. Much of what they assert is just plain wrong. Fake news is, sadly, an accurate term. And the topic about which they have been the most fake is the GOP’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

First, the media lied about the tax bill in an effort to convince most Americans their taxes would go up.

Then, the media took surveys of people who opposed the GOP bill based on the false information supplied by the media.

Then, the media talked again and again about how unpopular the Republican plan was and how it was going to weaken Republican candidates in 2018.

Then, the bill passed, and unsurprisingly, it turned out to be dramatically better for Americans than the elite media had described.

In fact, the tax cuts will be the 2018 proving ground of media liberal bias and dishonesty.

MSM does this with everything. Lather, rinse, repeat.

CBS News just provided a vivid example of the false impressions created by the liberal news media’s lies. They interviewed three families about how they expected the GOP tax bill to affect them. Then they had a CPA tell them, on camera, what they would actually be paying in taxes next year.

Of course, after months of convincing most Americans their taxes would go up, the three families either expected to be paying more in taxes or to not save any money. And you can tell by watching the segment that the liberal hosts expected the same.

Of course, it turned out that all three families would pay less under the GOP tax cuts than under current law.

That leads back to Gingrich’s main point. There’s the media narrative, and then there’s reality. If voters pay attention to reality, it will easily be a YUUUGE win for Republicans in 2018. Gingrich is confident that tax cuts alone will help people realize that Republican policies are better for them personally (and for the country as a whole).

The gap between the news media falsehoods and the dramatically better reality of the GOP tax cuts will have three huge effects on the 2018 campaign:

1. The American people will be positively surprised and pleased by the degree to which Republicans kept their word and actually put more money in taxpayer pockets. After 10 months of frustration from trying to repeal Obamacare, Republicans have proven they can get big things done.

2. The news media’s dishonesty will be vivid at a personal level. People will be able to compare their personal experience with the news media’s fake reporting and endless bias. As the truth sinks in, the ability of the liberal media to shape opinion will decline even further.

3. Democrats who voted against the bill will live to regret it as people look at their family budgets and realize Democrats in the House and Senate wanted Washington bureaucrats to have more money, rather than hard-working Americans. This will certainly be a losing proposition for the 10 Senate Democrats up for re-election in states President Trump won in 2016.

Gingrich is so right.

Do you want higher taxes, bigger bureaucracy, more power in Washington, and a smaller economy with lower take-home pay and fewer jobs? If yes, vote Democrat, because that is what they stand for and will continue to vote for next year.

If you want a bigger economy, more jobs, more take-home pay, less power with Washington bureaucrats, and lower taxes with more money in your pocket, then vote Republican.

If Republicans can learn to tell the truth better than the elite media and Democrats lie, the GOP will win an astonishing victory in 2018.

MSM is going to do its best to muddy the waters and insert a false narrative at every turn, but I’m confident the American people will be able to see through it. After all, they did in 2016.

Bring on the midterms.
