Notice how nobody is talking anymore about the possibility of Democrats taking the Senate??? With the current split of 51-49, theoretically Dems should be thinking how they will pick up a net of 2 seats. But nobody talks about that anymore.
They already had a "blue wave" in 2012. If anything they stand to lose 10 seats in the Senate at this point, theoretically wiping out that "blue wave".
We need to turn out like we did in 2016!
Plus President Trump spent last year cutting off a lot of funds that go straight to democrats. This will continue all this year, plus the Russia scandal will be replaced by the democrat coup scandal.
This has proven very economical and effective, if slightly underhanded. Suppress the vote of the Republican base, exploit their morality by dirtying up the candidate, then even a lightweight lib can win.
A lot will depend on turnout—on voter enthusiasm. Count on the media to try to manufacture some outrage that will get Democrats to the polls. Does Mueller plan to issue his report in October in order for the Democrats to fire up their base by making it an “impeach Trump” referendum?
The media tried all of this in 2016 . It didn’t work then and things will be much much better this time. No Blue Wave.
Larry Sabato is nothing more than a Democrat political hack, masquerading as a college professor. Fox News gives the DNC a lot of free publicity by having him on so often.
It is the economy stupid...
But house races are a little harder to predict..
the only “blue wave” I see is the blue toilet cleaning capsule I use when flushing the toilet...
It’s still eight months off, and the only constant in politics is change, but I’d have to agree that this is a little early in the game for the media to be posting “Surrender, Dorthy!” stories. Bernie’s backers have seen their candidate leave the party and Hillary still camped out like a vulture on a telephone wire. And “Russia, Russia, Russia” is making her media look more foolish by the day. If they’re going to turn the old army of Bernie populists back into a force to be reckoned with, they’re going to have to lose Hillary and shut her chorus line of media parrots up by mid-summer or it will be too late.
In 2018, Dems are defending more Senate seats than Republicans are. The odds are that Repubs will pick up a seat or two.
President Trump should campaign throughout the country as though his presidency depends on it, because it does. If the Democrats win the House, they will move to impeach him. They will reverse everything he has done and will go after your guns, starting with “assault rifles,” but not ending there, of course. If you value freedom, you must vote this year.
Thanks jmaroneps37.
Sabato needs to join the “Five-percenter’s Club,” along with Karl Rove and Dick Morris.
Wrong 95 percent of the time....
Unfortunately, about 90 percent of college professors are Democrat political hacks, masquerading as college professors.
It’s daunting, being in the right 10 percent. And it doesn’t look like many are coming up through the ranks to replace us as we retire or die off.
Who can blame them, when either cowardly or communistic administrators glorify the left and try to silence those of us on the right? The U.S. system of higher education really needs to die a quick death so something worthwhile can arise from the ashes.
Notice no seats in MA — all are Dems, of course — are up for grabs. The Democratic congressional congregation in MA is so set and so corrupt that nothing will dislodge them without indictments. My congresscritter is so corrupt he and his family are known generally as “The XXXXX Crime family.”
Was it Mencken or Barnum who said something like, “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the stupidity of the American people”.
Never, ever assume that you are going to win or you will end up like Georgia in the recent NC. Roll Tide.
For decades, the 'progressives' enjoyed a strategy that was bulletproof : push polls, the human weakness of wanting always to be among the "winners" no matter what the subject.
Florence King, decades ago observed that no one ever succeeded in politics by "overestimating"" the intelligence of the average American voter: unengaged and ignorant.
I don't recall the subject of "push polls" being discussed, ever, during the 2016 campaign.
The beast had it in the bag; 95 to 98% certain to win.
Seriously?
It was obvious to me at the beginning of the 2016 campaign, bullshit was the order of the day and I adopted my "bullshit," I don't do 'polls' attitude to the very end.
Have we seen the end of 'push polls'? Whistling past the graveyard by the totally ignorant?
I hope not
I sure hope not!
The few times I have actually been politically polled I lied through my teeth!
