Liberal Media Counting Dem Chickens: 'A-- Whooping, Big Night, Win House and Senate'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/08/2026 10:25:48 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish played a clip of Bill Maher on Fareed Zakaria's show predicting the Democrats would administer an "ass-whooping" to the Republicans. Maher based his bold forecast on the notion that President Trump hasn't delivered on various promises.

Cornish introduced the Maher clip as "conventional wisdom," and after it rolled, she embraced his take: "I can't sum it up better than that kind of idea."

Over on Morning Joe, Chris Matthews' supposition was more specific: "A month from now, I think the Democrats win the Senate and the House. I think it's gonna be a big, big night for the Dems."

President Hillary Clinton might not be particularly confident in Matthews' powers of prognostication.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

We’ll check back the day after the elections to see how many of their chickens hatched.

The old consensus analysis so when they are all wrong they can say, nobody saw that coming.

Only if they cheat with ballot manipulating like last time.

I particularly like the coffee mugs. I have little doubt that at least two of them contain an alcoholic beverage. I know I’d want some booze in my cup if I had to sit on that panel.

The bastards got mail voting in. It was always a rat pipe dream and now they have it. Then and Roberts and that backstabbing traitor Barrett gave us post-election vote counting. If it’s close, we will lose both.

They will win the states where ‘they’ count the votes and control who gets to vote.

This is like talking smack before a big sports game.

What they will wind up doing is convincing their room temperature IQ base it’s in the bag so the lazy bastards won’t even bother to show up on election day............

It will never top Colbert's show on Election Night 2016.

Boy, I hope so! And that it doesn’t discourage conservatives from voting the same reason: they think it’s in the bag for the left.

Could happen.

If it does, two more years of show trials and impeachment hearings.

Nothing gets done.

What was done, gets undone.

Pray and vote.

Democrats had better watch voter registration and early voting where Republicans have made big gains.
Don’t see blue wave.

“Trends: Dr. Turley highlights that Republicans have made substantial gains in party registration across key swing states compared to 2018 (1:51-2:28). He reports that millions of voters have shifted away from the Democratic party, creating what he describes as a ‘voter registration crisis’ (2:49-3:41).
Early Voting Data in Ohio: Using data from Tonerus Hughes on X, the video examines early in-person voting returns in Ohio (4:26-5:38). It reports that Democratic turnout has plummeted in both red and blue counties, while Republican turnout remains steady (5:45-9:00).”

If gas doesn’t go WAY down and stay there, it will be the fault of this idiotic and unnecessary war. A self own to make “ Read my lips no new taxes” look quaint.

The entire Middle East is not worth one drop of American blood.
