https://www.axios.com/signs-of-a-blue-wave-midterms-0742c13a-c11d-4a90-9794-438bea036277.html Democrats are feeling a level of confidence that they have experienced in a long time. Specifically, not since about 8 pm eastern time on November 8, 2016. Get out there and vote.
So long as half of you don't waste your time going to vote because your vote is just not going to matter in the face of such a large wave.
Demos dropped 7pts in 2 weeks with the Lame Streams Generic Ballot for the House, and are still dropping. Oh and now some Red State Senators are in trouble after voting no on Kavanaugh. Poll: It Looks Like Claire McCaskill Shot Herself In The Foot By Opposing Kavanaugh, Especially With Women Voters..... McCaskill is one of the most vulnerable,if not the most vulnerable, senators running for re-election cycle. All the red state Democrats, where Trump just destroyed Hillary Clinton in 2016 are in very precarious re-election territory. This Kavanaugh fight has already put the screws to them. It’s pretty much a no-win situation. They could vote for him, but that means becoming outcasts in their own party and frozen out of much needed financial resources, which they will desperately need. Oh, and endless harassment from the progressive grassroots. They could announce their opposition, maintain the communication lines to the Democratic war chests, but lose their jobs come January. So, how has Claire fared since she announced that she’s a “no” vote on Kavanaugh? Bre Payton at The Federalist noted that not only are voters in her state less likely to vote for her come November, but female voters are now less likely to vote for her as well: A new poll by Remington Research Group found that of the 1,555 likely Missouri voters surveyed late last week, 48 percent said they were planning to vote for Republican candidate Josh Hawley while 46 percent said they planned to vote for McCaskill. When asked if McCaskill’s opposition to Kavanaugh affected their voting decision, 49 percent said it made them less likely to vote for the Democratic senator, while only 42 percent it made them more likely to vote for her. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattv...h-women-voters-by-opposing-kavanaugh-n2524454
After the Democrats take control of the House on election night, I'm going to get me some take out Chinese food to celebrate.
A split Congress isn't the worst thing in the world, but frankly the Democrats have done nothing, nada(outside of 'raising money') that would actually suggest putting them back into power is a good idea. It's simply a lazy vote, I presume more than half of Americans vote like this: "Hmm, I voted for the Repub last time, maybe I should vote for the Dem this time."
No, it won't be a lazy vote. People will know who they are voting for and why. It's going to be fun listening to the Republicans explain why they lost.
I mean, the Dems haven't made it a secret what they're going to do: "Investigate Trump forever!" Yep, I bet even when he's out of office. He's in their head more than Bush ever was, and Bush got us into the greatest crisis since the great depression and the Iraq war. A Democratic House is going to be ran by mad men like Adam Schiff, and nutjobs like Pelosi/Waters. And if Schumer became majority leader? Pfft.
Don't kid yourself ... 2016 turnout based on poll projections made all the difference. Nevermind Russian propaganda ... MSM shaped voter perceptions, and directly impacted participation. It's important to understand, but I doubt it will be as consequential for mid-terms. I'm predicting neither side takes anything for granted.
Republican voters don't espouse their intentions publicly for the most part. That's why the polls can't accurately predict the red's potential. Average Republicans talk amongst themselves about politics because they pretty much realize they won't change the mind of someone permeated with democrat kool-aid, and they know the disease of liberalism simply doesn't allow for civil conversation with any opposition. A so called "blue wave" is historically a probability, but that probability is in jeopardy, what with a president that doesn't live in the establishment's "box". If there is a "red wave", it will be a shock to the left, just as it was in 2016 when the wicked witch of the left was defeated by an American system of voting that doesn't allow for results to be determined by mob rule.
GOP will win by 1 or 2 seats for midterms, gut feeling but gut didn't let me down on Brexit (I wanted to remain, possibly the only Trumper to do so lol) or 2016 also I just won £100 on Kavanaugh so feeling cocky
Well, the dems should see gains in the midterm, for that is based upon history, and generally what happens. If it does not happen, and the GOP keeps control, you are in deep sh*t as a party. And nationally the democrats have a helluva lot to get back and not just the federal level. We shall have to see what happens. Given that neither party represents most americans, I really could care less. I am outside of this silly tribalism. I live in reality. That neither party gives a rat's arse about those not in the upper middle and upper class. And both are damned war mongers.
You do realize this phrase means that you DO care.... right? I think you meant to say that you "couldn't care less". Sorry, but that one always gets to me....... carry on.
