fortunately president trump s tax cuts have more than mitigated for that head wind so far. neil: it was the tax cuts that indicated to the chairman covering it, gary, that this was an unexpected bump into the economy. more than he would have factored in. i think the quickness of the reaction to the tax cuts and the qui quickness of what companies did and the bonuses that can spur on economic growth. that s what he s talking about. i have to add one more thing about interest rates. the worst acting stocks are the most interest rate sensitive areas. utilities and real estate. very important. neil: doesn t surprise me. we said it without charts. i appreciate that. watch interest rates, watch what the market does. it will be following the trend of interest rates. bottom line and this has proven uncanny, every time it looks
border if they wanted to. does anyone talk about a 4,000 mile thank you very much. people said that during the campaign as well. you explained why you are retiring, why do you think so many veteran republicans, 32 as of now, why are they heading to the exits? for me. i had no threat from the left based on history, it s evident that the party of the president will lose seats. 2018 will be analogous to 1994, 2006. there will be a head wind, the only question is, how strong of a wind will it be? will it be a hurricane or a gentle breeze in our face? i would probably choose the
control. i believe that 2018 will be a year analogous to 1994, 2006, and 2010. there will be a head wind, the only question is, how strong of a wind will it be? will it be a hurricane or a gentle breeze in our face? i would probably choose the former, that s going to be a very strong wind. and my advice to my colleagues is that you better prepare for the worst, and hope for the best. you just took my question. i was going to ask you, what advice would you give to the folks who are staying, and to this administration? my advice to the guys staying. this election this midterm election will be a referendum on the president of the united states, and his conduct in office. that s a given. the republican party and the president are going to be judged. that is the issue, if you re running for re-election, you had better develop your own brand and sell yourself, and if you re in a district that hillary clinton won, if you re a
thousands of families every month, listening and offering local knowledge and advice to help find the best senior living communities across the country and it won t cost you a cent. this is a free service. call today. a place for mom. you know your family. we know senior living. together we ll make the right choice. clearly my party is going to responses. remains to be seen whether we lose the majority. we will be heading into a head wind. prepare for the worst and hope for the best. be prepared for the worst this could be a tough year. we are already in 21 state, working our field program. we have raised unprecedented amounts of money that we are putting into these states early. building out our field program so that we can win in these mid terms.
come from states that are purple like you or states or districts that may be, you know, suburban like yours? well, look, every member of look, my republican colleagues are very smart people. they understand the dynamics of this election cycle and i suspect many of them will be entering, doing some very serious soul searching and reflecting right now. they know they re going to be running in some very difficult circumstances that even if they run the best possible campaign they can, that might not be enough to overcome a head wind. this election cycle, in my view, is going to look like 1994, 2006 or 2010. at those times one party had total control. so this 2018 cycle will be the same way. let s face it, the results haven t been good for the party in power. we know that. i suspect more of my colleagues will make decisions over the next few weeks and months. congressman charlie dent we look forward to what you do
