"Muh blue wave."

I mailed my ballot last week.

Blue wave my ass. The only blue wave I know is the blue wave from that toilet cleaner..

[Hildy]

Don’t be so sure. Don’t be cocky. They are motivated by hate, and that is a strong force.

This, of course, will be the lead in the news with special reporting desks, Frank Luntz focus groups, and Chris Wallace providing minute by minute details.

And endless Republican Congressmen on the interview shows touting the massive Republican wave based on the surging economy and the popularity of President Trump's Presidency and all the interviewers agreeing.

My only question is:

Is she on the side of the citizens and the rule of law?

Electing Bush League Republicans hell bent of turning the USA into North Mexico gains US nothing.

[xzins]

That’s how I see it, too. Maybe beer, wings, and chips.

Great opportunity to celebrate the red wave with your favorite TV anchors.

I guess The Blue Wave got washed out.....lol.

They’re counting the ballots in advance of election day, or is this just the R-D breakdown, and we assume that the vote is along party lines?

1. Keep House to avoid 2 year impeachment
2. Elect people who fit my political preferences

1. Keep Senate to avoid no judge confirmations and general obstructionism.
2. Elect people who fit my political preferences.

This ought to be a landslide victory for the GOP even if you subtract 20% for the advantage of incumbency. Franks won the last one by 37%:

[House Atreides]

I mailed my ballot last week.
*****************************
Only one? ;-)

[SoFloFreeper]

Bull crap. Millennial voters are going to show up and create a 300 seat majority for Demon Rats.

< /sarcasm>

[deport]

Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch

.. Lesko

[AzIrish]

My husband and I mailed ours, too. This has always been a red district so if it would turn blue by any chance that would be big news. I don’t see it happening now. Pray we keep it in good hands!

[blueyon]

when is the final day to vote?

[hsmomx3]

I agree. We need to keep it red!!
