If you’ve already been convinced and are not voting skip the rest of this piece."
I'm not Republican doom and gloom but your first two sentences highlight a problem.
Cockiness leads to complacency. That's one reason Hillary lost.
Telling Republicans there's going to be a 'Red Wave' makes some believe they don't have to vote.
Will it be a lot? No. Will it be enough in close elections? Maybe.
Look at the special elections. Has there been a 'Red Wave'? No. They've been mixed results.
I don't count the Democrats out. Never. They will fight like rabid dogs to win. They never stop scheming behind the scene. You may not see it but it's happening. Have you ever heard of an 'October Surprise?'
They're writing their own narratives and pass them around to their 'true believers'. They're working to undermine Republicans and they're working to win.

Telling Republicans it's going to be a landslide and the Democratic Media Complex telling us there's going to be a 'Blue Wave' has the same affect; voter suppression.

Denying a lead is a stupid way to lose a chance to expand a lead. If you are superstitious about saying we are leading you don’t deserve to be heard.
