From Blue Wave to Blue Trickle to Blue Gurgle

Something funny is happening with the much-hyped “blue wave” on the way to the fall midterms. That wave of Democratic candidates that is supposed to sweep away the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives? The one that the press and pundits have been predicting for months? One would almost think the steady narrative of a blue wave is an attempt at psychological warfare by the mainstream media and the Left in hopes of depressing Republican donors and voters into thinking the outcome is a foregone conclusion.

But that narrative is completely detached from reality. The numbers now tell a different story.

Democrats entered 2018 with a double-digit lead in the congressional generic ballot, upwards of 15 points in some polls. Yet somehow in May, their lead in the RealClearPolitics average has shrunk to just four points. In some generic polls, such as the Reuters survey, the Democrats’ lead has disappeared entirely. In fact, in the most recent Reuters’ poll, Republicans are up more than six points generically.

The story going into midterms is going to be a tsunami of deep staters with revoked passports awaiting trial.

Um, yeah. That is what they are doing. They do this while they come up with ways to cheat and then the news stories will match the inflated vote counts, at least to their satisfaction and they believe that they will get to write the final history of this period.

Isn’t “gurgle” for a dying person known as a “death rattle”.
