Chris Matthews predicts Republicans could win 10 Senate seats

 Today Chris Matthews spoke at the ‘Washington Ideas Forum’ and he basically said that the Democrats have no message this year and he predicted the Republicans could win 10 Senate seats next week because of it.

  Here is what he said:

“They don’t really have a statement,” he said. “They have nothing in the market basket to offer. They have no real positive brand this time,” he added, “There was a great line from the American Revolution, ‘Either we hang together or we hang separately,’ the Democrats should remember that next Tuesday as the results come in.” 

Matthew then made a bold prediction which had the experts in the room shaking their heads when he said the Republicans, “could win up to 10 seats in the US Senate.”

    Does he know something we do not? I do not think anybody in their wildest dreams, or nightmares depending on your perspective, feels as if the Republicans can possibly do this well in the election. Most of the races are too close to call at this point so I believe there are two possible motivating factors behind this prediction. Either he is tempering his expectations so as to not be let down, or he is trying to motivate the Democratic base to head to the polls to head off impending defeat.

  Still, this could be a sign that Democratic insiders are much more fearful of a huge Republican wave than they are letting on publicly…

  Time will tell.
