Although his itinerary of almost exclusively red states doesn&#8217;t appear to be aimed at producing a GOP congressional victory, but merely avoiding a devastating Republican blowout. And the biggest supporters of Trump&#8217;s crusade are Democrats, who welcome the highly unpopular president campaigning for Republicans who don&#8217;t even want him in their states.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70893\" target=\"_blank\">GOOD NEWS: Trump Will Be Campaigning for Republicans \u2018Every Single Day\u2019 Until the Election<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Among those who still regard Trump as a positive contributor to the Republican cause is Sean Hannity of Trump&#8217;s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News. On Friday night he aired a segment wherein he intended to add his analysis of the unfolding election. And while he described what he was feeling as <em>&#8220;optimism,&#8221;<\/em> his voice and demeanor didn&#8217;t seem to agree. To the contrary, Hannity sounded downright depressed and utterly lacking in confidence. See for yourself&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I am watching these Senate races and, day by day, I am getting more cautiously optimistic. Let me explain why.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I do believe that Maine is definitely going our way. I think this guy [Troy Jackson] was out of his mind telling a woman to shut up. I think [Abdul] El-Sayed is collapsing under the heavy burden of his lying. The same with [James] Talarico. I see Ohio coming back, Iowa coming back. I&#8217;m not as worried as the media wanted me to be about places like Kansas and Nebraska.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I think that things are generally headed in a much better direction. I might be wrong. It will only mean something if everybody goes out and votes and does their part, and I hope they do.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"embed-x\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hannity says he is optimistic about Maine, Michigan, Texas, Ohio, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI might be wrong\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YgYPcf30Fe\">pic.twitter.com\/YgYPcf30Fe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Acyn (@Acyn) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Acyn\/status\/2111279143082181033?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 17, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>Does Hannity sound optimistic to you? He&#8217;s making up stories about <em>&#8220;collapsing&#8221;<\/em> campaigns for Democrats, when the polls show Democrats gaining or steady. You&#8217;ll notice that he doesn&#8217;t cite a single poll to support his rosy claims. Even more telling is his admission that <em>&#8220;I might be wrong.&#8221;<\/em> That&#8217;s the sort of concession that Hannity rarely makes. Particularly if he actually believes the hype he&#8217;s spewing.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Hannity begs his viewers to show up at the polls. But he&#8217;s not being especially firm about it. Rather than insisting that it&#8217;s a critical civic duty and that the GOP needs their support to save the nation from communists, he lapses into a rather weak appeal of <em>&#8220;hope&#8221;<\/em> that viewers do their part. How inspiring!<\/p>\n<p>If Hannity is this despondent about the future fate of the GOP, it is indicative of how deep a hole they are in. It&#8217;s an unspoken confession of futility and defeat. But he&#8217;s right about one thing: <em>&#8220;It will only mean something if everybody goes out and votes.&#8221;<\/em> And that goes for Democrats too. Although from the looks of it. Democrats are a lot more upbeat and enthusiastic about turning out in record numbers to save democracy and crush Trump&#8217;s dwindling MAGA movement.<\/p>\n<p>If Democrats maintain their excitement through November 3, we&#8217;ll see even more miserable mood swings from Hannity, from his comrades at Fox News, and from their Dear Leader Trump, who will likely erupt like Vesuvius, knowing that he has become the lamest of ducks for the remaining two years of his term. That is, if he is even able to finish it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=71042\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Poll Reveals Why Trump and His MAGA Republicans Are Losing the Midterms So Badly<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70965\" target=\"_blank\">RIGGED!
