The internet this week is full of election projections and Elon Musk's moves to clean up Twitter. Starting with the last item – Twitter -- he’s just discharged 2700 employees, saving the company hundreds of millions of dollars in wages and perquisites, fired the board and made himself its sole member. A number of woke corporations, including General Mills and Volkswagen, have cancelled their Twitter ads. Musk seems to be interested in following a suggestion that he list all those cancelling companies which are trying to starve him of revenue so that consumers can decide if they wish to keep patronizing those companies that prefer censoring them to an open free-speech forum. Expect as well many tales of woe from discharged twitterati, because the Left enjoyed that they had -- in addition to the mainstream media -- captured a major source of alternate media, one that blocked, censored, and diminished the voices of those with different opinions and unheralded facts. They are truly sad to see this monopoly end.
It really does look like there will be a red tsunami at the polls, even accounting for the Democrats' well-known election tricks.
Real Clear Politics' latest projections on Saturday are that the Republicans will take 228 seats in the House of Representatives and 54 seats in the Senate. To have a real majority, considering the Stalinist-type lockstep voting of their opponents and the perfidy and stupidity of senators like Romney, Murkowski (where stacked voting may allow her an undeserved win) and Collins, they will need more than 51 seats to have an effective voting majority.
Political analyst Michael Barone, who is a reliable predictor of such things, confirms the Republican wave appears likely:
Meanwhile, as Democrats have pointed out, you see many more poll numbers from partisan Republican pollsters

“Political analyst Michael Barone, who is a reliable predictor of such things, confirms the Republican wave appears likely”
Reliable?? Barone predicted Mitt Romney to win more that 300 EVs against Obama in 2012.
“Real Clear Politics’ latest projections on Saturday are that the Republicans will take 228 seats in the House of Representatives and 54 seats in the Senate.”
Those numbers don’t seem like much of a GOP wave. If those numbers are close to realization, then incumbency continues to rule the day.
....sadly, I’ll bet that super=RINO, Murkowski, will prevail...I think that the whole idea of a “red tide” or “red tsunami” or “red wave” is premature.... jus’ sayin’ ....
The fix is in Pennsylvania….you can bet on that..
Egad I hope so. Otherwise, we're done for.
...Nothing is guaranteed in politics. Comparing the 2022 to 2010 mid term, the fact that the media is hyping and giving the demonkkraps cover with how bad things are in the country is the difference.
But you are pointing to the reality ... there are the radical leftist demonkkrap controlled party, the RINOs, and then the conservatives/pro-America GOP.
.....I agree...if this pathetic Fetterman does prevail, then the whole country will see how rigged and dishonest our electoral system is....”hope for the best, but prepare for the worst...”
We're going to see if the tens of thousands of new republican poll watchers trained over the last two years is going to stop the cheating. This was the reason VA flipped from blue to red. I pray to God that it will be enough.
I think the Fetterman situation will be a staple subject in political science text books soon, real soon. The final chapter has not yet been written.
From the start, I said there would be no Red Wave. I still believe that to this day. Will the Republicans win both the house and senate, yes, I think this is very likely.
Wait, what you’re saying doesn’t make sense? It does, the difference is there will be considerably less cheating. There is an army of new poll watchers and lawyers keeping tabs on this election. New laws have been passed in several states. I also believe the Establishment Republicans and Democrats have come to an agreement on this one.
Establishment Republicans allowed the cheating to eliminate Trump and likely agreed to a midterm turnover with the Dems. I think voters have a lot less to say about elections than we hope.
Now I am not stupid enough to think the bad economy, wokeness, inflation, etc... did not help our cause. But I will make a bet now, if any battleground state has more total Republican Votes than Trump’s 2020 total, I will donate $100 to Freerepublic.
You might not think this bet is fair since one is a Presidential election. But if it is truly a Red Wave than turnout should be greater.
I think we will find that Republican turnout will be slightly greater than normal, but the wins are because the Democrat’s votes are suppressed because of less cheating.
I believe that Red Wave Announcement in the main stream media is a backhanded way of saying the election of 2020 was fair. And there will be a lot less cheating this election and truthfully that means the democrats can’t win.
“Real Clear Politics’ latest projections on Saturday are that the Republicans will take 228 seats in the House of Representatives and 54 seats in the Senate.”
“Those numbers don’t seem like much of a GOP wave. If those numbers are close to realization, then incumbency continues to rule the day”
Yeah that’s just a pick up of 15 seats. I’m going with 21. Nothing but gut feeling behind that prediction. For Senate I’d be thrilled with 53 which gives us a little breathing room for a couple of inevitable RINO turncoats.
HOR will be +55.
“HOR will be +55”
What a huge repudiation that would be for the Rats. Now that I think about it Real Clear Politics is based on the averages of all the various polls. Well some of those polls are woefully bad if not down right purposefully corrupt to sway opinion not gauge it.
In looking at the posts here, I’m thinking a lot of them haven’t read the article.
