WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump warned Tuesday night of dire consequences should Democrats take the House in this year's midterm elections, but predicted Republicans are "going to win."

Speaking at the National Republican Congressional Committee's annual March fundraiser, Trump said that, "on issue after issue," House Democrats are "way outside of the American mainstream."

"Democrats like to campaign as moderates, but they always govern like radicals," he said, warning that, if they win, Democrats will block efforts to secure the borders, "release dangerous criminals," and try to raise Americans' taxes, among other ills.

He also vowed to campaign tirelessly to help GOP candidates win, telling a room full of Republican party leaders and donors, "I'll be all over the country."

[jmowreader]

10. As opposed to Republicans...

who really did raise Americans' taxes and govern as radicals.

[sandensea]

11. Sure. For him, Prince Jared, and the rest of the accomplices.

With a little luck, Uncle Vlad will visit him at Ft. Leavenworth (maybe just to rub it in though).

[C Moon]

12. Does that sound like a "nod and a wink" or what? So just what has Putin promised you, Traitor Trump?

[area51]

13. "Dire consequences"?

Yeah, like sanity coming back to DC.

[videohead5]

14. I call buddy-ing up to a communist thug

Like Putin radical.

[shanny]

28. Communist?

[PJMcK]

31. Putin's not a communist!

He's an oligarch thug. A criminal. A dictator. His ideology is power and money for himself and a few friends.

That's not communism in any way. If anything, Putin is a criminally corrupted capitalist.

[videohead5]

34. I read he still is

And compared it to Christianity and praised it.

[rpannier]

15. "I'll be all over the country."

Wherever there's a golf course
He'll be there

[TexasTowelie]

16. I think he might have a few properties that don't have golf courses,

but otherwise, yeah.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

17. No shit! Let's hope so!

[riversedge]

18. Trump admits he did not know what ANWR was until .......

............During one riff, Trump talked about how he'd lifted a ban on oil and gas drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Trump told the crowd he hadn't thought the issue was "a big deal," until he got a call from a friend in the oil business after the GOP tax bill passed in December.

"Is it true that you have ANWR in the bill?'" Trump recalled the friend asking. "I said: 'I don't know. Who cares? What is that? What does that mean?' ... What's the big deal if they did put it in?'"

Trump said the friend told him that "every single president" including Ronald Reagan had tried but failed to get it.

"I said, 'You've got to be kidding, I love it now.' And after that, we fought like hell to get ANWR."

[PJMcK]

32. Trump is so stupid

It really hurts to read things he says.

[syringis]

20. Hi Texas Towelie

He also vowed to campaign tirelessly to help GOP candidates win, telling a room full of Republican party leaders and donors, "I'll be all over the country."

Regarding the results of last elections, I'm not sure that will convince donors...

By the way, for one, I hope he will keep doing what he says.

[TexasTowelie]

21. Hello syringis,

As I reflect over the Trump presidency thus far I've come to the conclusion that I'm having a flashback to a bad acid trip that never has an end. I strive to avoid any coverage of Trump on TV because it increases my blood pressure.

[YessirAtsaFact]

24. I was watching an interview with Lawrence Tribe last night regarding obstruction of justice

It was surreal.

I thought that this is something that would happen as a "how did we get here" flashback in some dystopian themed movie.

[bucolic_frolic]

22. Dire to whom?

[onetexan]

25. For him

he's trying to save his ass knowing if Dems take the House he'll be impeached for sure

[BlueStater]

23. Always the same five talking points recycled over and over again.

Get some new material already, you orange eyesore.

[no_hypocrisy]

26. Compared to . . . . NOW?

[Soxfan58]

27. With your approval rating

Please, campaign your ass off.

[RKP5637]

29. tRump, a low class cheap dunce. n/t

[ProfessorGAC]

33. I Know "It" Is Delusional and Stupid, But. . .

. . .for the sake of the lurking drones who might be reading:

The total vote numbers for ALL members of Congress show that more people voted for a democrat than a republican in the last 16 years. Even when R's took a majority, more PEOPLE still voted for D's than R's. That is true of both the Senate and the House.

So, it is IMPOSSIBLE for these people to be outside the mainstream if more PEOPLE actually vote for them than the other side. Literally impossible.

[Gothmog]

35. I am hoping that trimp spends a great deal of time in Texas

Please come to Texas

[malthaussen]

36. Especially for Mr Trump. n/t

[dajoki]

37. Yes, * will be impeached n/t
