54,543 people.
Less than 2 hundredths of one percent of the U.S. population.
That's the extent of the "blue wave" which occurred on November 6th.
True, that isn't what you've heard on MSNBC, who crowed that 8,805,130 more voters voted for Democratic House candidates than voted for Republicans -- a record.
That figure isn't wrong. Just irrelevant.
The 8,800,000 wasted votes in places like California, New York, and Boston that piled up massive "blue" supermajorities in "super-blue" urban districts and states isn't a good thing for the Democrats; it's their central problem.
The fact is that control of the House was determined in 17 congressional districts. And in those 17 districts, Republicans would still control the House if they had been able to flip a total of 54,543 votes.
Remember the polls showing that Americans favored Democratic control of Congress by a margin of 10%? As a result of those polls, 40 Republican House incumbents fled from office. But, like the 8,805,130 figure, those polls were weighted down by "super-blue" districts. And it turned out that the 40 GOP departures gratuitously threw control of the House into the air because they believed numbers which, if not fraudulent, were fraudulently used.
In marquee races, the inaccuracies continued to the end. On October 31, Fox predicted that Donnelly would win by 7% in Indiana. On November 1, NBC/Marist projected that McCaskill would prevail in Missouri by 3%. Harris thought Tester would be reelected by 8%, rather than winning in a squeaker.
But the Senate races were too big to give away. And, when the GOP persisted, they proved the pollsters wrong.
The bottom line is that, as in 2012, it was the GOP reaction to misleading polls -- not the accuracy of the polls themselves -- that turned their predictions into reality.
So, looking forward to 2020, where are we?
Well, you remember that Democrats spooked Republicans by talking about the unique dynamics of non-presidential elections -- and particularly the first "off-year election" of a new presidency. They cited 1994, 2006, and 2010 for the inevitability of historic Republican losses.
Now, having won an election which was marketed as atypically favorable to the them, Democrats are holding up those results as "the new paradigm."
It isn't.
In 2018, Republicans were tarred to Donald Trump, with all his merits and demerits. Democrats running in "red" districts simply lied -- and sworIn 2020, the Democrats will have "face" which they can't disavow. And that "face" is likely to have a lot of flaws. That's why every president in my long lifetime has won reelection -- except for two. And those two had to work very hard at destroying their presidencies.
So remember:
54,543
- despite the fact that the lion's share of the $5.2 billion spent on campaigns this year was spent on behalf of Democrats;
- despite the billions of dollars of additional support for Democratic candidates provided by the media;
- despite campaigns by multi-billionaires like Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg -- with Bloomberg apparently giving most of his $110 million at the last minute, in order to evade campaign reporting laws.
Despite all this, in the end, they only bought 54,543 votes.
And guess what? Steyer and Bloomberg will have their own candidacies to spend money on in 2020.e that they wouldn't vote for Pelosi for speaker.
Hell the Donks can scare up that many fraudulent votes without even getting out of bed in the morning.
“The bottom line is that, as in 2012, it was the GOP reaction to misleading polls — not the accuracy of the polls themselves — that turned their predictions into reality. “
. . .which is why we call them the stupid party. Seems the establishment types absolutely revere all things Democrat.
“54,543 people.

A gerrymander here, a gerrymander there, plus throw in a few fraudulent ballets and you’ve created yourself an artificial blue tsunami.
I’m sick of these articles that legitimate the fraud, that pretend it doesn’t exist, that there really are all those democrats out there voting. I am so outraged by all of this and even more so by our so-called leaders who are not screaming our outrage from the rooftops. There is no blue wave, there is only a fraud wave, and no one has done or is going to do anything about it!
there is no such thing as a national popular vote for house elections. it doesn’t exist. it’s not even a concept that makes sense; individual house races don’t accrue electorally, other than in the number of representatives sent to congress.
Trump won by 22,748 votes in Wisconsin, 10,704 votes in Michigan, and 44,292 votes in Pennsylvania. All in all, Trump won by 77,744 votes.
A full house vote total of sevens over fours is what saved us from President Clinton. That's it.
Now, I DO believe, that Repubs need to get a handle on fraud and be proactive. Dems seems to always have a "In Case of X Break Glass" plan to enact the fraud; we need a plan to halt that advance.
But if we just whine that this is all fraud we are going nowhere. Combat fraud with building a wall of MAGA-loving centrists (they still exist) that overwhelms the faked votes.
By defeating Hillary, we got tax reform and Gorsuch and Kavanaugh and a strong economy and NK willing to talk and Kanye wearing a MAGA hat. This is spectacular and I believe there are LOTS of fellow citizens on the bubble (the belief that we are a nation of MSNBC-loving, pod-eating showflakes OR Deplorables is wrong) who can be red-pilled.
Dems address defeat by sharpening their axes and becoming even more impossible. I hope weak-kneed conservatives finish their tantrum and get to work...Now is not the time for people to bail because we lost the House by fewer votes than Trump won the Presidency.
You are exactly right. The establishment Republicans like being in the minority because they can campaign on fighting and say the Democrats are just too powerful, but they’ll keep trying. We saw the lie in Trump’s first term. Too many of them are just part of the uniparty.
My recommendation is to write to POTUS regularly requesting a deep and broad investigation into voter fraud.
For instance, while everyone was riveted to the Broward County malfeasance, everyone was ignoring the fraudulent flipping of enough House seats in California to deliver a House majority to the Dems. Seems like most Republicans are hugely relieved.
and 50K of those were “synthetic” !!
The GOP Country Club yet again got rolled by the Dem Roadhouse Bar Brawlers-and the GOP still can’t seem to quite figure it out .../s
more likely the DC UniParty is perfectly happy with the status quo
Assuming that the analysis is correct, it should be used to identify the districts to flip back to the GOP in the 2020 election.
Election fraud is 90% of Democrats’ victory strategy, and I’m being conservative in that number.
Unless we address this problem NOW, Republicans will increasingly lose and be in a permanent minority status.
California’s races are extremely suspect, with leading Republicans in close races on November 7 losing virtually ALL of their seats after “additional” ballots were counted. Don’t tell me that was a straight election.
Very simply they stole elections
Irrelevant. It’s the same as saying if Clinton had flipped 60K votes in Pa. Wi. Mi she would be POTUS.
.
They always do!
In CA, fraud may account for 10% of the vote.
.
I get it, that Democrat fraud in Blue States like CA sure seems to have had a YUGE impact on the House. Let's figure out a way to address it. But let's not make that the majority of our focus...even the allied forces recognized that Europe had to be the focus before the Pacific Theater could be addressed.
Grow MAGA...get out there and, without engaging in a yellfest with Antifa-loving dopes (they're beyond remedy for now anyway) speak to sympathetic centrist friends and neighbors who voted blue this midterm because they like their low-cost landscaper and think an AR15 is an assault rifle yet they love the growth in GDP and low unemployment. Those "red-pill" activities will catch on (it takes work, but it DOES work) and is likely more impactful than focusing exclusively on Tammany Hall.
And how many votes did the Rats manufacture in those races?
They don’t need more than 50+1 to win.
It’s ALL of the voter fraud that did occur, throughout the entire U.S., that, still, needs to be addressed, completely, and then, punishments given out as well as actual assurances that these mistakes will, never, happen again! U.S. voter fraud has been ongoing for way too long, and it must be nipped in the bud, to the best of human abilities and ASAP!
Voting is stupid and meaningless. Try something else.
