Translation—Democrats are burnt toast.
All it takes is for us to stay active....
I have followed RCP around all elections since 2000. They are biased and sometimes blatantly wrong. They make wild positions for the Dems but clearly withhold for the Reps. They were in the game in 2016. In fact they weren’t in the ballpark. Same with Larry Sabato who surfaced yesterday for the Dems.
That’s a whole lot closer to reality than the predictions of a massive “Blue Wave” we were hearing preached from every major media outlet for the last 6 months...
But yes - I just don’t see it being that close, barring some massive “October Surprise”. The vast majority of Americans across party affiliation are better off than they were pre-Trump. Yes - our Congress still sucks. Yes, they (GOP) are idiots who have let the MINORITY party of Marxists have what they want far too often... But most are still better off today.
“Translation—Democrats are burnt toast.”
Another translation : Dems need money, badly.
Everything the media spews is “close” ... it makes them money and idiots will throw good money away on Democratic candidates.
The Dems will gain two seats in PA ... possibly 3 ... that’s thanks to the stealth, judicial tyranny redistricting plan they snuck through. Outside of that, I can’t see them gaining much more ... certainly not enough to flip control.
If there is a “blue wave”, it’ll make the House very close, but they’ll still fall short.
If the Dems neglect the Senate (and they really seem to be doing that), they could suffer catastrophic damage there :-). They’re not doing well cash wise despite media reports of them raking in the dough in the midwest (keep in mind a lot of that cash paid for Primaries).
I don’t want to paint a perfect picture since things can and will go wrong, but the media painting this doom and gloom picture for Trump is ridiculous.
