Blue Wave Crashes Against Republican Shores

For months now, the ‘story’ about the 2018 election in November has been the Democrat Party and its candidates were just waiting to ride a ‘blue wave’ to victory. The ‘blue wave’ was, according to them, going to come about due to Donald Trump’s reputation, combined with their ability to offer ‘better’ ideas.

The closer the country draws to election day, however, the less realistic that assessment becomes, and the more likely it seems that Republicans will keep majorities, if only bare majorities, in both houses of the federal legislature. Many think that this is, at least in part, due to the DNC’s continued talk of ‘impeachment,’ even without any justifiable cause for such a course of action.

TOPICS: Constitution/Conservatism; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: elections
It's increasingly likely that the republicans will retain their house majority.

And when that happens, with so many Boehner/Ryan types retiring, it will be a FAR more conservative caucus, with a new speaker.

The democrats will be despondent (even moreso than they have been).

Anything can happen between now and election day. What really matters will be how many Republicans Turnout to vote.

The media will continue their pro-rat articles as if their victory is a foregone conclusion. Their point is to discourage the conservative base and energize the liberals, regardless of the truth of the matter. It’s all about shifting the campaign contributions to the left, and drying up the right’s. When they lose, they’ll just claim it was fraudulent, more projection on their part.

Neither side needs more money. Only the self-indulgent paid campaign staff, and the TV stations that run expensive ads need more money.

Each side needs volunteers to knock door-to-door and get-out-the-vote. Who actually shows up determines who wins.

The Democrats know this and will have some very good ground games in key races.

The Conservatives/Republicans seem over confident and lack motivation to actually get away from our keyboards.

Actions will, always, speak louder than words! Let’s MAKE CONSERVATIVE Republican victories, at each and every political level, actually, happen, in ‘18 and beyond!

Democrat ground game is a voter registration card and
a shovel for getting out the voters.

Turnout is a noun.

Turn out is the verb.

I care less about political parties but we are stuck with the worthless GOP or be pummeled by the DNC. I will vote those who support President Trump honestly.

Wonder how many whores will come out of the woodwork, THIS time? (Or audio of President Trump saying something despicable?)

We should pick up some Senate seats which will give us some ability to get past the RINO’s.

Voter registration is part of the Democrat ground game. Here in GA, the GOP has the runoff in July for Governor, Lt Gov, Secretary of State, and many local offices. The Democrats have no ground game.

Yet the Democrats will register more people to vote between now and the runoff than people contacted by all of the runoff candidates/campaigns combined. That means there is no passion for any of the GOP candidates. Few care about the GOP candidates.

Currently, Democrat organizers/ground game volunteers are at dozens, maybe even hundreds, of local picnics both registering people to vote and recruiting more volunteers to join the ground game. Tomorrow they will be in churches registering people to vote and recruiting more volunteers to join the ground game. Georgia’s Ralph Reed/Dave Baker are lucky if they are recruiting in even one church tomorrow.

The same is true from now to election day the first week of October. And yes, election day is now the first week of October. That Tuesday in November is now just the wrap up day, the last 50 yards of a 1 mile run.
