Krauthammer on Special Elections: ‘I Really Think These Special Elections Are Very Special’

RUSH EXCERPT:

KRAUTHAMMER: "These are generally not predicted. In 2010, there was no indication you'd have a Republican sweep, as you did. I can't predict who's going to win that I can predict with absolute certainty what the headlines are going to be. If the Democrat wins, the headlines are going to be "A referendum on trump." Guaranteed. If he loses, the headlines will be "In a race that doesn't mean anything, and a special election with special circumstances, turnout problematic." They will say of course the Republicans won deceived by 23 points last time so what do you expect that this is how it's going to be played. Everybody is waiting. If there is a stumble by the Republicans it will be hyped from here to Sunday. I think these special elections are very special. Where else are you going to pour in $25 million into a house race? Saying that 2018 elections are more than a year away, a year and a quarter away. A lot will be read into it but that's because there's a lot of dead air time."
