That claim on Drudge that “millions” of new Dem voters are registering makes NO sense - if the Rats have such a huge enthusiasm deficit WHY would people be registering to vote with them by the millions? Unless - illegals? Dead registered voters? Pets?
This makes good points about shifting political sentiments. One observation I’ve made, along these lines, is that, yes, more people are registering (D) these days. That is to be expected as immigration swells the ranks of those who now live in the country, yet hate its ethos, past and present.
Meanwhile those who register (R) cannot match those numbers. I find little cause for concern about that picture, because if I were about to register to vote I wouldn’t register (R), either; that organization ceased to speak for me two decades ago. That said, I do believe that the main sentiment out there, the voting sentiment, is very conservative, which bodes well for people who love this country and its ethos, past and present.
Now that the left is in political trouble the MSM is there to present a mixed picture to say nobody has an advantage to raise Democrats spirits and dampen the enthusiasm on our side!
Just when they need to be closing ranks and focusing their fire on the GOP, establishment Democrats in the party leadership are fighting off an insurgent uprising by the socialists in their own hard left wing. That doesn’t exactly invite confidence among the base.
Very true. The kids at the border thing the liberals were pushing, didn’t have the desired effect. And in fact backfired a bit, as now the more radical Dems want to abolish I.C.E. That’s a debate they can’t win in “middle America”.
And then, with media attention on that Cortez (sp?) socialist woman in New York, it’s planting the seeds in more moderate/undecided voters minds, that these Democrats are a hard left party.
Boston Globe had an interesting article recently -- no one's talking about the Red Sox:
"Here in baseball-savvy Boston, the Olde Towne Team is playing at a near-record pace, but it seems the local sports fans only want to talk about the Celtics and NBA free agency, Tom Brady and Julian Edelman."
(by Dan Shauhgnessy, July 9, 2018)
I've noticed also on national sports talk shows, there's very little talk about MLB.
Demoncraps don't have anyone to get them to the polls.
They had Soros's machines and Hillary which should have brought in the big votes, but that didn't work.
Now they have no one to help them crash the shore.
Boo fricking Hoo!!
It also will change once fall actually arrives. People pay attention in the last six weeks before the election. Keep trying to push them at this point and they will tune you out.
I can give a “man on the street” kind of view ... Currently I am on a large camping trip with 60+ people (mostly family) and in the past 48 hours no one has talked politics. But i can tell you i can count on one hand the Repub voters. The rest just vote Dem because ... They always have. And they think Trump is a joke (even though they have benifitted emensly from the tax cuts).
I would like to causion all of you against being over confident about Repub chances and claimes of Dems falling apart.
The Dem voters will be out in droves, they are just not talking politics like they use to when they were in charge.
“At Long Last Love”
Is it an earthquake or simply a shock?
Is it the good turtle soup or merely the mock?
Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy?
Or is what I feel the real McCoy?
Is it for all time or simply a lark?
Is it Granada I see or only Asbury Park?
Is it a fancy not worth thinking of?
Or is it at long last love?

What we do have is millions of people who voted for Obama disillusioned with “hope and change” (which was also Hugo Chavez’s campaign slogan) and who can’t stand the hate coming from the left, who will cross over to the red side of the ticket this November and in 2020.
Keep telling yourself there is no building Red Wave Einstein.
Name three. made up BS. Glen Beck, Erik Erickson and a number of other predominate Never Trumpers have now come out in SUPPORT of Trump due to the insanity on the Left. Make believe that there are "Republicans who have sourced on Trump". Garbage article by a writer trying to hard to prove how "insightful" and "smart" he supposedly is.
Look at eligible voter turnout over the decades. The eligible voters that have not deigned to vote have outnumbered any single political party in presidential elections for 100+ years. No one seems to care or think that is significant.
