Lewandowski: 'We've got a real problem' if Dems retake the House

BY JOHN BOWDEN - 01/14/18 07:00 AM EST

President Trump's former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said in an interview broadcast Sunday that Trump and Republicans are "in trouble" if Democrats retake the House in the 2018 midterms.

In an interview with John Catsimatidis on New York radio station AM 970, Lewandowski said that Democrats have some "good opportunities" to win the 24 seats the party needs to retake the lower chamber.

"The real concern right now is the Democrats are exceptionally motivated to run a campaign against this president. And if that's the case, they may have some good opportunities in front of them in the 2018 cycle," Lewandowski said.

"If you look at the numbers, I think we've got 32 or 33 Republican members of Congress who have already announced they are not seeking reelection. The problem with that is the Democrats only have to take back 24 seats in the House in order to take over," he added.

Why do they never frame it as a great opportunity for Democrats.
Just once, interview a Dem strategist talking about the enthusiasm on our side.

I thought "we" were all Americans.

This Republican tribalism is obnoxious, misguided, and divisive.

A Democratic Congress will expose the entire tRump campaign as the russkie sympathizers they are! They'll hold their feet to the fire and they're not going to like it one bit.

Lewandowski wants a repunk Congress because he knows they'll actively cover up his crimes.
